Tracking call status helps you monitor call activity, spot missed opportunities, and resolve issues faster.

Incoming Call Statuses

These statuses apply when customers call your team.

Completed Call was answered successfully by an agent.
Missed Call was not answered, or the caller disconnected before pickup.
Rejected Agent declined the call (for example, spam).
Voicemail Caller left a voicemail message.
Unavailable The number or agent was not reachable.
IVR Caller disconnected while the IVR message was playing.
Welcome Message Caller hung up during the welcome message.
Call Not Set-Up Call came in outside business hours due to custom availability settings (download call logs to see exact details).

Outgoing Call Statuses

These statuses apply when your team calls customers.

No Answer Customer did not pick up the call.
Rejected Customer declined the call during ringing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find out why a call status says “Call Not Setup”?
Click the “i” icon next to the status in the call logs to view the detailed reason.

Can I filter calls based on their status in the CallHippo dashboard?
Yes. Use the filter option in the call logs to select and apply the call status you want to view.

How can I better understand all the call statuses while viewing call logs?
Click the “i” icon in the call logs section to see detailed explanations for all call statuses.

The call duration is 1 second and no conversation happened, but the status shows “Completed”. Why?
The “Completed” status indicates that the call was successfully connected — that is, the receiver picked up. Even if the duration is very short (for example, 1 second), it is still marked “Completed” if the call was answered. It does not necessarily mean a conversation took place, only that the recipient accepted the call.

What does a “Missed” status with the reason “Welcome Message” mean?
It means the incoming call was marked “Missed” because the customer hung up while the initial welcome message was still playing. The system logs this as a missed call, with the specific reason being that the caller disconnected during the welcome message.

What does “User Not Available” mean in call status?
This status means the call was routed to a team member whose shift availability is set to “Always Closed”, or the call was received outside their configured custom working hours.

What does “Number Not Available” mean in call status?
This status appears when the incoming call is directed to a phone number whose business hours are set to “Always Closed”, or the call came in outside the number’s custom working hours.
