What is call type?
Each call you make or receive in Freshcaller is categorized based on call types. The Call Metrics section captures the call types and other critical call details to give you real-time visibility.
How is call type useful?
Understanding call types help you analyze your call center's performance and efficiency. For example, if you see many missed/abandoned calls in your account, you can quickly correct your call flow set up to avoid further missed calls. By doing this, you can ensure that your service level targets are always on track.
What is a no-answer or missed call?
No-answer calls are those that rang for the entire duration without being attended to by your agents. It is indicated by a red slashed arrow, signifying that the customer's call went unanswered by agents.
To easily narrow down calls of a particular type, use the "call type" filter and export options.
The different call types are:
| Call Type | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
Completed/Answered | Inbound | Indicates calls completed successfully between an agent and a customer. |
