How to Make a Test Call
NumbersWhy Test Call
A test call is the fastest way to confirm that a
tracking number, the Offer it routes to, and the Buyer
it targets are all configured correctly. The test call
creates a real Call record, so you can inspect the full
routing trace, the recording, and the billing outcome
afterward.
Procedure
- Open the Number detail page at
/numbers/:idand note the international formatted number. - From any phone, dial that number. Use a phone not previously associated with the company so the call is treated as a fresh caller rather than a repeat.
- Let the call complete. If the Offer routes to a buyer, the buyer phone will ring. Answer the buyer leg to establish the call.
- Hang up. The Call record is now finalized.
Reviewing the Result
Navigate to Calls -> Call Logs (/calls) and open the
most recent entry. The Call detail page shows:
- The top-level status (for example
finished,no-buyer,not-open,rejected,caller-hung-up,failed) and the computed sub-status (for exampleno-buyer-all-maxed-out,no-buyer-all-filtered,no-buyer-prevent-dupes,hold-queue-hung-up,ivr-no-keypress,caller-hung-up-while-ringing-buyer). - The routing timeline showing which buyers were attempted and why each one succeeded or failed.
- The recording, if recording is enabled on the Offer.
- The transcription, if transcription is enabled.
- The conversion outcome and any tokens captured.
Troubleshooting
If the call did not route as expected, the sub-status
on the Call record is the single most useful piece of
information. Sub-status values are computed from the
call's log trail, so each value maps to a specific
reason in routing (for example
no-buyer-all-maxed-out means every eligible buyer was
at its concurrency cap, and no-buyer-all-filtered
means every buyer was excluded by filters such as
token value mismatches).
