Status Callbacks

You can learn more about voice status callbacks, all of the possible parameters you can use, and how to set them up in our status callback mega guide!

Configuring the Code

Below is an example of a simple call status tracker that will log every status change event ('initiated' to 'ringing', 'ringing' to 'answered', etc) to the console along with the CallSID, CallStatus, Timestamp, and Direction. If a call has reached an end-stage state, i.e. completed, canceled, no-answer, or busy, it will be added to our table of call records. This table will exclude failed calls and in-progress calls so as to not have duplicate records.

If a call fails, it will be added to a separate table containing failed calls along with relevant data to investigate later. If at any point the number of failed calls in the table reaches 100, the table will be downloaded to CSV and an SMS alert will be sent out to notify whoever would be in charge of dealing with the failures. After the CSV has been downloaded and the alert has been sent, we will clear the failed calls array so it can begin appending new failed calls again.

After every call is appended to either of the tables, the tables will reprint so that it's easy to see the updated list of completed and failed calls.

# create empty arrays to store our call records - one for failed only and one to handle all other end stage statuses (not queued, not ringing, not answered, etc)

            while len(failedCallArray) > 0:
                failedCallArray.pop()

    # Return 200 OK

Running the application

You will need the Flask framework and the SignalWire Python SDK downloaded.

To run the application, execute export FLASK_APP=your_file_name.py then run flask run.
