📞 Understanding Call Traits in JotPhone
Call Traits help you quickly identify, organize, and filter calls based on specific call activities or behaviors. These traits appear as tags within each call log entry, making it easier to analyze how calls were handled across your team.
For example, if you want to view all calls that were transferred to another department, you can simply apply the Transfer call trait filter from the Call Logs page.
🏷️ Available Call Traits
Below are the different call traits available in JotPhone and what they represent:
Queue
The Queue trait identifies calls that were placed in a queue before being answered.
This helps teams:
- Monitor queue performance
- Analyze waiting times
- Identify areas for workflow improvement
Forward
The Forward trait identifies calls that were forwarded from one number or user to another.
This trait includes:
- Forwarded From – Indicates the original forwarded call
- Forwarded To – Identifies the destination call after forwarding
Transfer
The Transfer trait identifies calls that were transferred directly to another agent or department without prior consultation (cold transfer).
This helps track:
- Internal call routing
- Calls requiring additional assistance
- Department-level call flow
Merge
The Merge trait identifies calls where an agent first spoke with another agent before transferring the caller (warm transfer or conference-style transfer).
This can help monitor:
- Collaborative call handling
- Conference or assisted calls
IVR
The IVR trait identifies calls handled through an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.
This helps you understand:
- Caller navigation paths
- IVR menu usage
- Automated call handling patterns
Callback
The Callback trait identifies calls related to callback requests.
These include:
- Callback Requested – When a caller requests a callback
- Callback Completed – When the callback has been successfully completed
This helps teams efficiently track follow-up activities.
