HelpReport on Inbound vs Outbound

Report on Inbound vs Outbound

How do show our customers the volume of outbound calls vs inbound calls?

Cradle puts different text into the Call notes field of an engagement. We recommend using the following terms as a search filter to narrow down the types of calls to either inbound or outbound and then reporting these separately. 

Call Type Search Term
Incoming Call that was answered called and spoke to
All Incoming Calls They called
Missed Incoming Calls was missed
Outbound Calls

Number dialled by

Notes

  • If your team make custom notes within the engagement, and include any of the search terms, or delete the Cradle entered search terms, the results may not be accurate. 
  • Call durations within HubSpot are often different to what is listed in Cradle for a combination of the following reasons:
    • We can only post one leg of a call into HubSpot, so if a call is transferred, put on hold, or otherwise has multiple legs in our system (i.e. part of the call is recorded), the duration will not be what is listed in Cradle
    • We only list the duration of time on the phone in HubSpot, not the time the customer spent in a ringing state. In the Cradle reporting tools, ringing time is included.
