Calculate talk time 

Keeping track of talk time (account minutes) helps your business and customer service teams figure out how efficiently they're handling customer interactions.

To see your talk time (calculated in minutes), use the exported call logs file, and apply the following filters:

1. Navigate to the Direction column
2. Select the Inbound filter 
3. Navigate to the Category column
4. Select Incoming filter 
5. Navigate to Target_type column
6. Select User filter

To get the call time value, apply the formula of subtracting the date_ended from the date_connected column.

To see the total account minutes, calculate the sum of the talk_duration column.
