Frequently asked questions

Why is my abandoned call count higher now?

A higher abandoned call count is expected. This change impacts how certain calls are categorized, leading to more calls being registered as "abandoned."

To calculate the original number of missed calls, add all abandoned calls with a duration greater than the threshold to your missed‑call total in the conversation history in the documentation.
