Every call handled by your AI agent generates a detailed record the moment the call ends. This article explains every field in a call summary — what it means, how it's generated, and how to use it to run your business more effectively.

Opening a call record

Click any call row in your dashboard to open the full call record. The record opens in a side panel or full-page view depending on your screen size. It contains everything about that single call.

Every field explained

FieldWhat it isHow to use it
Caller NameThe name the caller gave to the agent during the conversation.Use for personalised callbacks. If blank, the agent didn't capture a name — check the transcript for context.
Callback NumberThe phone number the caller provided. May differ from their calling number.Always call this number, not the CLI (calling line identity) — the caller specifically gave you this one.
Call SummaryA 2–5 sentence AI-generated summary of the entire conversation, written from the agent's perspective.Read this before calling back. You'll know exactly what they need, their situation, and their urgency — before you say hello.
UrgencyHIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — assessed by the agent based on the caller's language, tone, and the nature of their request.Sort by HIGH first each day. These are your priority callbacks.
DurationHow long the call lasted, and how many credits it consumed.Very short calls (under 30 sec) may be hang-ups or wrong numbers. Very long calls may indicate the agent struggled — worth reviewing the transcript.
AgentWhich agent handled the call, and which phone number received it.Useful when you have multiple agents — confirms which business identity the caller interacted with.
TimestampWhen the call ended, in your account's configured time zone.Use to prioritise callbacks — calls from today are more likely to still be warm than calls from yesterday afternoon.

How urgency is assessed

Urgency is not a keyword match — it's assessed by the agent across the whole conversation. The agent considers:

  • HIGH — explicit emergency language ("flood", "no heat", "dangerous"), safety concerns, time pressure ("need it today", "can't wait"), or emotional distress
  • MEDIUM — a clear problem that needs attention but without acute urgency. Broken appliance, scheduled repair, follow-up enquiry
  • LOW — general enquiry, price check, non-urgent booking request, information gathering
ℹ️
Urgency calibration improves with your system prompt
If urgency ratings don't match your expectations, update your system prompt with specific guidance. For example: "Mark as HIGH urgency any call involving no hot water, structural damage, gas smell, or elderly callers alone." Explicit criteria produce more consistent urgency scores.

The full transcript

Below the summary fields is the complete word-for-word transcript of the entire call — every line the agent said and every line the caller said, with timestamps. This is the ground truth of what happened.

Use the transcript to:

  • Verify the summary is accurate before calling back
  • Identify moments where the agent gave an incorrect or incomplete answer
  • Find specific details not captured in the summary (e.g. a specific address or product model mentioned in passing)
  • Review agent performance and identify system prompt improvements
💡
The transcript is your quality control tool
Read transcripts for the first two weeks of live operation. You'll quickly identify patterns — types of questions the agent handles poorly, information callers provide that isn't being captured, or closing phrases that aren't landing well. Every issue you find in a transcript is a system prompt improvement waiting to happen.

Call recordings

If call recording is enabled on your agent, the audio recording is accessible from within the call record. See Recordings and transcripts for full details on enabling, accessing, and downloading recordings.

Preparing for the callback

A well-used call summary makes every callback significantly more effective. Before you dial:

  • Read the full summary — know their situation before they say hello
  • Note the urgency level — adjust your tone accordingly (calm and efficient for HIGH, relaxed for LOW)
  • Check the timestamp — if it's been more than a few hours, acknowledge it ("Sorry for the slight delay getting back to you")
  • Have the transcript open if needed — you can reference specific details the caller mentioned
