Abandoned Call - FAQ
What is the difference between an abandoned call and an unbooked call?
An abandoned call is not the same as an unbooked call.
Abandoned call: A call is classified as Abandoned when ServiceTitan can't determine which CSR took the call, or which customer or job should be attached to the call. This can happen when a call is answered, but the CSR didn't click the incoming call bubble. Or, no one picked up the phone and the call was unanswered. Abandoned calls also represent calls that are unassigned. For more, see the Abandoned call section of the ServiceTitan Glossary (commonly used ServiceTitan terms).
Unbooked call: A call is classified as Unbooked when a CSR clicked the incoming call bubble, but a job was not booked. The call must also be classified as a Lead (duration over 60 seconds) for it to be considered an unbooked call. For more, see the Unbooked call section of the ServiceTitan Glossary (commonly used ServiceTitan terms).
The chart below shows what actions at what point in the call booking process lead to which classifications.
Note: This process applies to basic phone integration only.
For more information, see Understand call classifications.
Why are there so many abandoned calls in the ServiceTitan Dashboard?
Abandoned calls occur when ServiceTitan can't determine which CSR took the call, or which customer or job should be attached to the call. This can happen when a call is answered, but the CSR didn't click the incoming call bubble. Or, no one picked up the phone and the call was unanswered.
With Phones Pro, you can have a Standard Seat or an Advanced Seat. If you have a Standard Seat, CSRs should click the green call bubble to claim the call. If a CSR answers a call but doesn't click the green call bubble, the call appears as Abandoned in the ServiceTitan Dashboard.
To confirm if a call is unanswered, a Dialpad administrator can follow the steps below:
Impersonate an admin in Dialpad.
Click Call History.
Click Users or Groups and enter the caller's phone number.
Search for the call.
Hover over the phone icon between the user/group and the participant to view the status of the call.
If the status of the call in Dialpad is Abandoned, Missed, Missed & Voicemail, or Voicemail, the call is expected to appear as Abandoned in the ServiceTitan Dashboard.
If I don't click the green call bubble, does this mean ServiceTitan won't record the call?
If you don't click the green call bubble, the call will still be recorded. ServiceTitan automatically records every call answered within the office, even if the call is abandoned (green call bubble isn't clicked).
To maintain accurate records and reporting, your office manager needs to listen to all abandoned calls, and attach the correct CSR to the call. Clicking the green call bubble avoids this unnecessary step.
Why are abandoned calls listed separately in Agent Scorecards?
Abandoned / unanswered calls usually require an immediate response. Unbooked calls might take the manager more time to review and identify the issue.
That's why abandoned calls are listed separately on your dashboard in the Agent Scorecards section under the profile, Abandoned. This makes it easy for you to stay on top of abandoned calls, which usually require a quick call back.
