Zendesk Talk 'Not Answered' Call Status Explained

Discover what 'Not Answered' means in Zendesk Talk for both inbound and outbound calls.

What does 'Not Answered' mean in Zendesk Talk?

'Not Answered' in Zendesk Talk indicates that a call didn't go through or wasn't successful. This can happen in both inbound and outbound scenarios. For inbound calls, it means the end-user wasn't connected with an agent. For outbound calls, it means the end-user didn't answer the agent's call.

This status can also occur if an agent hangs up immediately after attempting an outbound call, or due to connection failures and call forward malfunctions.
