How unanswered and missed calls appear in Nimbata

Nimbata records every call attempt, whether it was answered or not.

An unanswered call is not lost; it appears in your call activity with its own disposition status, and you can filter, report on, and act on it just like any other call.

What counts as an unanswered call

Nimbata tracks call attempts from the moment the tracking number is dialed.

If the call is not answered, it is logged with a disposition status that describes what happened at the network level:

No Answer: The call rang at the destination but was not picked up.
No User Response: The call did not reach a ringing state; the destination did not respond within the timeout period.
Originator Cancel: The caller hung up before the destination answered.
Call Rejected: The destination declined the call.

All of these appear in Activity > Calls (under the All Calls tab) with a call duration of zero or near-zero seconds and their respective status:

Viewing unanswered calls in reports

To isolate unanswered calls in your call activity:

Go to Activity > Calls under any tab.
Click Filters.
Add a filter on Call Outcome or Call Status and select the relevant unanswered disposition(s).
Click Apply.

You can also set up a custom view that always shows unanswered calls, so you do not have to apply the filter manually each time.

Getting alerts for missed calls

You can set up a workflow to notify your team whenever a call goes unanswered, so no lead slips through without a follow-up.

Go to Workflows and create a new workflow.
Set the trigger to Inbound Call > Call Ends.
Add a filter for Call Outcome = Not Answered.
Add a Send Email or Send Slack Notification action.
Enable the workflow.

Unanswered call data in the API

Unanswered calls are included in Nimbata's API responses alongside answered calls.

Each call record includes the disposition status field, which you can use to filter or segment calls programmatically on your end.

There is no separate API endpoint for unanswered calls; they are part of the standard calls response and identifiable by their disposition status value.
