After running a campaign, Altur allows you to download multiple .csv files. This guide details the content of each one and how to correctly interpret the results.

Contact Export

This CSV file contains all contacts added to the campaign along with their current status and associated metrics.

File Columns

Basic Columns:
  • campaign_name: Campaign name.
  • campaign_date: Campaign creation date (format: YYYY-MM-DD).
  • id: Unique contact identifier from the import file (if provided).
  • contact: Phone number in E.164 format.
  • name: Contact name.
  • context: Context or additional contact information.
  • status: Current contact status in the campaign (see status section).
  • retries: Number of retries performed.
  • calls: Total number of calls made to the contact (call campaigns only).
  • billed_duration: Total billable duration in readable format (call campaigns only).
  • last_update: Date and time of last status update.
  • follow_up: Indicates if the contact has a scheduled follow-up (True/False).
Dynamic Columns:
  • Tags: One column per tag configured in the agent. The value will be True if the contact has that tag, False otherwise.
  • Extractable Fields: One column per data field configured for extraction in the agent (e.g., “email”, “interest”, “rating”).

Campaign Contact Statuses

Contacts can have different statuses depending on the campaign channel.
Common Statuses (Both Channels)
StatusDescription
queueQueued, waiting to be processed
sendingSending message or initiating call
failedGeneral failure in sending/call
retryingRetrying after failed status or no response
convertedContact marked as converted by the system
Call-Specific Statuses
StatusDescription
voicemailCall answered by voicemail
answeredCall answered
WhatsApp-Specific Statuses
StatusDescription
deliveredMessage delivered
readMessage read
acceptedContact accepted the conversation
rejectedContact rejected the conversation
Conditional: These statuses can change to queue or retrying if the system determines there are available retries according to the campaign configuration.

Understanding Retries

  • retries: Retry counter specific to calls that reach voicemail. The limit is configured in the campaign.
  • failed_retries (not visible in CSV): Internal system that retries contacts with failed status. Limit defined in system configuration (typically 1).
Retry Logic:
  1. If a contact reaches voicemail and retries < campaign_limit, the status will change to retrying and the contact will be attempted again.
  2. If a contact has failed, and has not exceeded the system retry limit, it will return to queue.
  3. When limits are exceeded, the status remains as final.

Call Export

This CSV file contains each individual call made during the campaign, allowing detailed analysis of each interaction.

File Columns

Basic Columns:
  • campaign_name: Campaign name.
  • campaign_date: Campaign creation date.
  • id: Unique call ID.
  • number_to: Destination phone number (E.164).
  • contact_name: Contact name.
  • type: Call type (inbound / outbound).
  • status: Final call status (see status section).
  • answered_by: Who answered the call (see next section).
  • created_at: Call creation date and time.
  • started_at: Call start date and time (when answered).
  • ended_at: Call end date and time.
  • duration: Total duration in readable format (MM:SS).
  • billed_duration: Billable duration in readable format (MM:SS).
  • recording_url: URL to download the call recording.
Dynamic Columns:
  • Tags: One column per tag configured in the agent.
  • Extractable Fields: Data extracted during the conversation.

Call Statuses

Individual calls can have the following statuses (status):
StatusDescription
createdCall created in the system
queuedCall queued to be dialed
ringingPhone ringing
in-progressCall in progress
forwardingCall being transferred
endedCall ended successfully
busyLine busy
no-answerNo answer
failedCall error

Response Types (answered_by)

This field is critical to understand who answered the call:
ValueDescriptionBilling Impact
humanAnswered by a humanFull rate
machineAnswered by answering machineRate limited to 5 seconds
unknownCould not be determinedAccording to configuration
Important note on billing:
  • Calls answered by answering machines (machine) have a reduced rate.
  • The billable duration (billed_duration) automatically applies the limit to voicemail calls.
  • Only calls with answered_by: human are included in the recording export.

Difference between Duration and Billed Duration

  • duration: Total time from when the call was answered until it ended.
  • billed_duration: Time billed as consumption:
    • For human: equal to duration.
    • For machine: duration limited to 5 seconds.

Results Export

This CSV file is a filtered version of the contact export that includes only contacts with extracted data.

Differences from Contact Export

  • Includes: Only contacts with extracted data.
  • Purpose: Analysis of conversions and positive campaign results.
  • Columns: Identical to the contact export.

Use Cases

This export is useful for:
  • Analyzing qualified leads that completed the conversation flow.
  • Obtaining structured information collected during conversations (emails, dates, preferences, etc.).
  • Calculating effective conversion rates.
  • Integrating with CRMs or other downstream systems.

Campaign Statuses

StatusDescription
Pending (pending)Campaign created, awaiting contacts
Ready (ready)Contacts loaded, ready to activate
Active (active)Campaign running
Inactive (inactive)Campaign manually paused
Cooldown (cooldown)Between cycles, waiting to resume
Finished (finished)All cycles completed

Cycle Interpretation in Results

When a campaign has cycles enabled:
  • Contacts that do not reach a “successful final status” will be retried.
  • The retries field resets on each cycle.
  • Statuses within the filter for cycles will not return to queue in the next cycle.

Best Practices for Analysis

  1. To measure reach: Use Contact export and count statuses:
    • For Calls:
      • answered
      • converted
    • For WhatsApp:
      • delivered
      • accepted
      • read
      • converted
  2. To measure conversion: Use Contact export and filter/count contacts in converted status or use Results and analyze extracted fields.
  3. For cost auditing: Use Call export and sum billed_duration by answered_by.
