Key metrics available
Call volume
See how many calls you've received, made, and missed over any time period. This helps you identify busy times and staff accordingly if you're on the 👥 Business plan with a team.
Call duration
Each call displays its duration. Longer calls may indicate complex client issues or in-depth consultations worth reviewing.
Missed calls
Track which calls went unanswered. If your AI Receptionist is enabled, missed calls are handled automatically - the AI answers, takes a message, and generates a summary so you can follow up.
AI Receptionist activity
See which calls were handled by your AI Receptionist, what information was collected, and whether the caller was transferred, booked an appointment, or left a message. Each AI-handled call includes a full transcript and summary.
Daily Recap for trends
For a daily overview of your activity, enable Daily Recap. It summarizes your day's calls, texts, and action items in one message delivered at a time you choose.
Ask Beside for deeper insights

"How many calls did I get last week?"
"Who called me the most this month?"
"What topics came up in calls with [contact name]?"
"List my missed calls from this week"
