Metric Definitions

Understanding how metrics are calculated helps you interpret dashboard data accurately.

Key Metrics Explained

Call Count

The total number of call records in the Calls log matching your filters (inbound or outbound). Each call attempt is counted, regardless of outcome (answered, failed, busy, etc.).

Minutes Used

The sum of billable call durations, rounded according to provider rules (typically per-minute billing). Only answered calls contribute to minutes. Failed, busy, or no-answer calls have 0 duration.

Answer Rate

For outbound calls: (Number of calls with status "answered") ÷ (Total outbound calls) × 100%. Higher answer rates indicate better campaign performance and contact list quality.

Average Duration

Total minutes ÷ call count for the selected period. This metric helps assess conversation quality and AI assistant performance. Longer durations may indicate engaging conversations.

Example Use Cases

Monitor a New Campaign Launch

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Set Date Range: Select "Today" from the date range filter to focus on current activity.
  2. Watch Metrics: Monitor outbound call count and answer rate each hour. Look for steady increases as the campaign progresses.
  3. Check Answer Rate: If answer rate dips below your baseline (e.g., below 30%), investigate immediately.
  4. Investigate Issues: If problems are detected, go to the Calls log and filter by number, contact state, or campaign to identify root causes.
  5. Optimize: Use insights to adjust campaign settings, contact lists, or AI assistant prompts.
Capacity Planning

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Compare Periods: Use custom date range to compare last 30 days vs. previous 30 days.
  2. Review Minutes: Check total minutes used in both periods. If usage is consistently approaching plan limits, consider upgrading.
  3. Analyze Appointments: Review appointment volumes to understand scheduling demand and plan staffing accordingly.
  4. Adjust Plans: If needed, navigate to Billing & Plans → Plans to upgrade your subscription or adjust plan limits.
  5. Forecast: Use trend charts to forecast future usage and plan ahead.

Daily Quality Checklist

Use this checklist during daily dashboard reviews to ensure everything is operating smoothly.

Answer Rate Check

Answer rate is above your baseline target (e.g., 30%+). If below, investigate contact list quality or campaign timing.

Average Duration Review

Average call duration aligns with expected script length. Very short durations may indicate issues with AI assistant or messaging.

Failure Rate Monitoring

No sudden spikes in call failures. Check the Calls log for error reasons if failure rates increase unexpectedly.

Minutes Usage

Minutes usage is within expected range. Monitor to avoid exceeding plan limits.

Campaign Status

Active campaigns are progressing as expected. Check campaign status and call volumes match expectations.

Best Practices

Regular Monitoring

  • Daily Reviews: Check the dashboard daily, especially during active campaigns. Early detection of issues prevents bigger problems.
  • Weekly Analysis: Perform deeper analysis weekly to identify trends and patterns. Compare week-over-week metrics.
  • Monthly Planning: Use monthly dashboard reviews for capacity planning and strategic decisions.

Effective Filtering

  • Use Date Ranges: Always verify the date range is set correctly. Default views may not show the period you need.
  • Workspace Context: Confirm you're viewing the correct workspace, especially when managing multiple brands or teams.
  • Compare Periods: Use custom date ranges to compare periods and identify trends or improvements.

Actionable Insights

  • Set Baselines: Establish baseline metrics (answer rates, durations) so you can identify when things deviate from normal.
  • Investigate Anomalies: When you spot unusual patterns, drill down into the Calls log or Campaigns to find root causes.
  • Use Flags: Use flags on contacts and filter downstream pages to validate segmented campaign performance.

Troubleshooting

Metrics look low or zero

Checklist:

  • Date range: Confirm the date range filter is set correctly. You may be viewing a period with no activity.
  • Active workspace: Verify you're viewing the correct workspace. Switch workspaces if needed.
  • Campaign status: Check if campaigns are paused or in draft status. Only active campaigns generate calls.
  • Refresh: Refresh the page to ensure you're seeing the latest data.
No inbound calls showing

Checklist:

  • Purchased numbers: Verify you have purchased phone numbers in the Numbers section.
  • Number status: Ensure numbers are active and not released or suspended.
  • Handler configuration: Check that numbers are properly configured with AI assistants or call handlers.
  • Twilio configuration: Verify Twilio credentials are correct in Settings and numbers are properly configured in Twilio.
Minutes not updating

Possible Causes:

  • Provider delay: Billing may settle after provider callbacks. Wait a few minutes and refresh.
  • Call status: Only answered calls contribute to minutes. Failed, busy, or no-answer calls have 0 duration.
  • Date range: Ensure your date range includes the time period when calls were made.
  • Refresh: Refresh the dashboard to pull the latest data from the database.
