Viewing Call Duration & Talk Time

Whenever a call is made with VanillaSoft's VoIP system, the software tracks the amount of time Callers spend on each Contact. There are two ways that calls are tracked:

  • Duration - Calculated from the time a Contact routes to the Caller until the time the Contact is resulted.  The time is stamped in Call History at the same time the contact is resulted.
  • Talk Time - Calculated in the VoIP portal from when the contact's phone or voicemail picks up until when the call ends.

Note: If a Contact routes to a Caller but is not resulted, then no duration is recorded. If a call is placed but hangs up before the Contact's phone or voicemail picks up, then no talk time is recorded.
