| Min connected outbound in call time (sec) |
This filter only applies to metrics related to connected outbound calls. Filters connected outbound calls longer than a defined number of seconds. Default is 0. This filter can be used, for example, to focus on outbound calls that resulted in a meaningful conversation between the user and the recipient. In other dashboards, it is also referred to: Min Outbound In Call Time (sec). |

Use the **Tags** filter to track outcomes like Demo booked, Not reached, or Pitched. This helps visualize meaningful results in the dashboard.
Navigating the Outbound+ Dashboard
Overview
Use this section to assess outbound activity at a glance. Top KPIs provide a quick situational assessment: How many calls have my users attempted?, How many were successfully connected?, How long are my users’ outbound calls?
- Key performance indicators (KPIs)
All filters apply unless noted on a metric’s tooltip.
| Metric/Chart | Description | Type | Calculation / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outbound calls | Total number of outbound calls, connected or not, any duration. | Number | Count of outbound calls. Useful for team activity/productivity. (The Min connected… filter does not apply.) |
| Outbound calls (connected calls > x sec) | Total number of connected outbound calls where in-call time > x seconds. | Number | Set x with Min connected outbound in call time (sec). |
| % Outbound calls (connected calls > x sec) | Percentage of outbound calls that were connected > x sec. | Percentage | (Connected outbound calls > x sec) / (Outbound calls). Shows effort needed to reach a meaningful conversation. |
| Avg in call time (connected calls > x sec) | Average in-call time for connected outbound calls > x sec. | Duration | Sum of in-call time (connected > x sec) / Count of connected > x sec. Helps plan staffing and talk-time expectations. |
| Total connected time | Total talk time across all connected outbound calls. | Duration | Excludes calls tagged as Voicemail Drop. |
| Avg picked up time | Average talk time of connected outbound calls. | Duration | Excludes calls tagged as Voicemail Drop. |
| Pickup rate | Percentage of outbound calls that resulted in a connected conversation. | Percentage | Excludes calls tagged as Voicemail Drop. |
TIP:
Use the **Min connected outbound in call time (sec)** filter to define what counts as a meaningful conversation.

Learn when to reach your customers
This section contains heatmaps and charts that help you identify optimal calling times.
Learn when you are making the most calls: Displays the total number of outbound calls by time slot and day of the week.
Best time to call: Shows the percentage of connected calls longer than x seconds, helping you determine when prospects are most responsive.
Outbound calls over time: Tracks the number and trend of meaningful outbound calls over time to highlight performance changes and peak periods.
NOTE:
Refer to the Overview section for definitions of the metrics used in these charts.
Learn the outcome of your users’ calls
This section shows how your outbound calls are distributed by outcome (based on call tags). This allows you to track how many of your outbound calls are successful, and how long such calls typically need to last to produce that outcome.
Key performance indicators (KPIs)
| Metric / Chart | Description | Type | Calculation / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connected calls > x sec | Outbound calls connected for more than x seconds to which this specific tag has been applied. Please refer to Outbound Calls Connected > x Sec in the Overview section for more details. | Number of… | Applies only to outbound calls exceeding the Min Connected Outbound In Call Time (Sec) threshold. |
| % Connected calls > x sec with this tag | The percentage of Connected calls > x sec with this tag compared to the total number of connected calls > x seconds shown in this table. The sum of this column across all tags should equal 100%. | Percentage |
|
| Avg in call time | The average in-call time for all outbound calls connected for more than x seconds with this specific tag applied. Refer to Avg In Call Time in the Overview section for more details. | Duration |
|
| Total in call time | The total time spent in call with a prospect or their voice responder for all outbound calls connected for more than x seconds to which this tag was applied. | Duration |
|
NOTE:
Only meaningful calls (connected > x seconds) are included. If no tags are selected, the table displays all tags plus Untagged calls.
TIP:
Consistent use of outcome tags (for example, Demo booked, Pitched, Not reached) ensures accurate insights into team performance.
Let us consider some examples to illustrate how this section works.
• Example 1: Tags filter applied
If you select tags like VD-sales-success, VD-sales-pitched, and VD-sales-no pitch, only calls with these tags will appear. Calls with multiple tags will be counted in each relevant tag row, so totals may exceed 100%.
• Example 2: Tags filter not applied
If no tags are selected, the table will display all used tags plus an Untagged line. Percentages may slightly exceed 100% due to rounding.
Assess the performance of your users
This section compares each user’s outbound productivity.
NOTE:
This table only includes meaningful calls (connected > x seconds), except for the Outbound calls metric, which includes all calls.
Contact metrics
This table is available when Outbound Campaigns is enabled on your account. It shows outbound activity broken down by contact over the selected period and campaign filter.

| Avg in-call time | Average talk time of connected calls with this contact in the period. |
| Total in-call time | Total talk time of connected calls with this contact in the period. |
| Last tags | Tags applied to the most recent call with this contact. Displays Untagged if no tags were applied to the last call. |
Assess the performance of your lines
This section compares each Aircall line’s outbound performance and helps you understand whether specific phone lines may be underperforming or affected by low pickup rates.
- Understand your outbound activity per phone line: This view answers the question: how is your activity and performance distributed between your phone lines?

| Avg in call time (connected calls > x sec) | The average in call time for connected outbound calls from this Aircall number where in call time is greater than x seconds. | Duration | Calculation: Total in call time for connected calls > x sec / Number of connected calls > x sec. |
| Total in call time (connected calls > x sec) | The total time spent in call for connected outbound calls from this Aircall number where in call time is greater than x seconds. | Duration | Calculation: Sum of in call time for connected outbound calls > x sec. |
TIP:
Use the Min connected outbound in call time (sec) filter to understand which Aircall numbers have the best performance and result in meaningful conversations.Assess campaign performance
This section is available when Outbound Campaigns is enabled on your account. It groups campaign-specific metrics together so you can review results at the campaign level.
Avg attempts before pickup
The average number of dialing attempts made before a contact picked up. Only contacts who picked up at least once are included in this calculation. If no contacts picked up during the selected period, this metric shows as not available.
Pickup distribution
A histogram showing at which attempt number contacts picked up, across the following buckets: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th+, and No pickup. The No pickup bucket captures contacts who never answered during the campaign. Use this chart to assess whether your dialing cadence is effective, for example, whether returns diminish after a certain number of attempts.

Shows the final outcome recorded for each contact in the campaign, aggregated at the campaign and contact level. Each contact contributes one row.
| Column | Description |
