Understanding Call Disposition

Every call in SimpleVox is assigned a disposition — a quick label that tells you what happened with the call.

Updated this week

Every call in SimpleVox is assigned a disposition — a quick label that tells you what happened with the call.

This helps you track performance, spot issues, and prioritize follow-ups more efficiently.


What Is Call Disposition?

Call Disposition is a status that reflects the final outcome of a call. You’ll see it listed alongside each call in your Inbox, Contact History, and Call Logs.


📋 Common Disposition Types

Here are the most common call disposition labels you’ll see:

Disposition

What It Means

Answered

The call was successfully answered by a user or flow.

Missed

The call rang but no one answered and no voicemail was left.

Voicemail

The caller left a voicemail.

Blocked

The call was flagged as spam or failed a voice CAPTCHA.

Rejected

The call was declined manually by a user.

Busy

All call targets were busy and no voicemail was reached.

Failed

The call couldn’t be completed due to a technical error.

🛠️ Pro Tip: Hover over or tap a call’s disposition for more detail in the call history.


How Are Dispositions Determined?

Dispositions are automatically assigned based on:

  • Call flow outcomes (e.g. voicemail, forward, ring group)

  • Twilio call events and webhook status updates

  • Spam filtering settings (e.g. failed CAPTCHA)

  • Manual user actions (e.g. reject or answer)


Why It Matters

Understanding dispositions helps you:

  • Spot missed opportunities

  • Track spam trends or blocking effectiveness

  • Identify if voicemail or routing needs adjustment

  • Prioritize callbacks to high-value leads


Disposition Doesn't Look Right?

Sometimes calls are cut off early or marked incorrectly due to:

  • Caller hang-ups before voicemail

  • Network issues or browser permissions

  • AI filters blocking suspicious calls

If something doesn’t look right, open the call record and review:

  • Transcript and audio recording

  • Call flow log

  • Caller details
