One of the most critical metrics affecting customer satisfaction in call center operations is the "answer rate." The Abandoned Calls from Queue Report is an analysis screen detailing calls that entered the queue but ended before connecting to a customer agent, as well as the callback operations performed for these calls.

Important Note: For this report to generate data, the "Abandoned Call Tracking" feature must be enabled in the relevant queues.

Purpose and Features

The primary purpose of this report is to identify customers who terminated the call while waiting in the queue and to measure the performance of callbacks made to these customers.

Key Features:

  • Loss Analysis: Helps you analyze customer waiting times on the line and at what stage they abandoned the call.

  • Callback Tracking: Tracks whether the abandoned call was returned by the business.

  • Status Differentiation: Differentiates the call status to show whether the call was simply abandoned, if the customer called back again, or if the agent returned the call.

Benefits

The main value additions provided by the Abandoned Calls from Queue Report to operational processes are:

  1. Customer Satisfaction Management: Customer loss can be prevented by measuring how quickly unanswered customers are called back.

  2. Operational Intensity Analysis: Increased numbers of abandoned calls during specific hours indicate time slots where workforce planning is insufficient.

  3. Performance Auditing: It can be clearly reported whether customer agents called the customers falling into the abandoned call pool and the result of these calls (reached/busy, etc.).

  4. Repeat Call Detection: Insights into customer patience and urgency are provided by observing whether the customer called again on their own before being called back.

Report Filters

The following filtering options are used to view specific data in the report:

Number: Lists abandoned call records belonging to a specific phone number.
Date: Determines the time range (Start - End) the report will cover.
Queue: Selects which specific queue (department) the abandoned calls will be listed for.
Status: Filters the abandoned call status:

Abandon Call: Abandoned call with no action taken yet.

Called Back: Call returned by the agent.

Repeat Call: Situation where the customer called again without being called back.
