Call tagging
Does your business or call centre get a ton of calls? Then you’ll know how important it is to be able to easily analyse and disposition both inbound and outgoing calls. That’s where call tagging comes in. See how Dialpad’s easy-to-use call tagging feature works!
What is call tagging? How does it work in Dialpad?
Call tagging (sometimes also called call tracking) is a feature you’d find in business phone systems or contact centre platforms that lets you categorise phone calls based on a predefined set of criteria.
It’s like adding virtual labels to every call, which can help your sales and customer experience teams identify qualified leads and customer support trends, and also follow up on calls more efficiently.
Let’s say you’re a software as a service (SaaS) company. You may receive customer calls on a daily basis asking for technical support, inquiring about features, or requesting new features. Those are all different types of requests, and you want to keep track of all of them. Call tagging lets you do that.
👉 Quick side note:
Call tagging works for outgoing calls too—your sales team can tag calls with prospects as, say, “interested,” “not interested,” or “follow-up required” so that everyone on the team can get this customer data and interaction history, even if they’ve never spoken with that prospect before.
With a cloud phone system or communications platform like Dialpad, the call tagging feature lets agents label each of those types of calls in seconds after the call ends with preset or custom tags:
From there, contact centre managers or supervisors can see call tags or dispositions from all the calls their agents are on, right from the online dashboard:
Get more than just call tagging with Dialpad Ai Contact Centre
With Dialpad’s fully integrated unified communications + contact centre platform, you don’t just get call tagging features—there’s also a ton of other functionality that lets both customer support teams (and also any other team in your business) manage all their internal and external communications.
Real-time transcriptions
Dialpad Ai can do a lot of cool things, and one of them is that it can transcribe your customer calls and video conferences—live as the call is happening.
Live sentiment analysis
Not only that, it can also do live sentiment analysis, which means supervisors can quickly see which customer calls are potentially going south. If they do spot a potential issue, they can open up the real-time transcript to get more context before deciding whether they need to jump in.
Intuitive call routing
Need to update your IVR or call routing options? Want to switch from skill-based routing to round-robin routing? You can do all that with just a few clicks.
Unlimited call recording
Sometimes, you want to listen to the actual customer call to get a better sense of the tone or context that sometimes doesn’t get captured in a transcript. With Dialpad, agents and supervisors can manually toggle call recording on and off—or set all calls to record automatically.
🔒 Dialpad tip:
For security and compliance, Dialpad also has APIs that automatically turn call recording off when sensitive information (like payment info) is being discussed.
