Reasons Behind 'Not Answered' Call Status in Zendesk

Discover why calls are marked as 'Not Answered' in Zendesk. Learn about common issues leading to this status.

Can I find out why a call was marked as 'Not Answered'?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to determine the exact reason a call was marked as 'Not Answered' in Zendesk.

The 'Not Answered' status indicates that the call wasn't connected with an agent, voicemail, or external number, and wasn't abandoned in any defined stages. These are typically failed calls due to issues like pending voicemails, connection failures, or incorrect phone numbers. Since no call was initiated, it's challenging to pinpoint whether the issue was on the customer's or agent's side.
