Tracking call-transfer outcomes end to end
Distinguish attempted, ringing, answered, failed, and fallback outcomes so transfer reporting reflects what callers experienced.
Call operations
Tracking call-transfer outcomes end to end
Why this matters
A transfer request is not a connected conversation. Accurate reporting needs provider status events and a fallback action when the destination does not answer.
Recommended workflow
- Create a transfer record before starting the provider action.
- Capture provider identifiers and status callbacks.
- Map terminal statuses to connected, failed, or uncertain outcomes.
- Create a callback task when the configured fallback applies.
Quality checks
- Repeated callbacks are processed idempotently.
- A ringing call is not counted as answered.
- The summary matches the terminal provider status.
Practical takeaway
Measure completed handoffs and fallback completion, not transfer button clicks.
