Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Retrieve the Phone Number from Slack
When a telephony alert is received in the Slack channel, note down the customer phone number mentioned in the alert.

Step 2: Access the Telephony Alerts Dashboard on Metabase
Navigate to the Metabase dashboard using this link:
👉 Telephony Alerts - CS/CSM Collection on Metabase


Step 3: Search for the Phone Number
Use the search/filter feature to input the phone number obtained from Slack. This will help you locate the related call record.


Step 4: Extract Key Details
From the results, gather the following information:

  • Workspace ID

  • Model ID

  • Call ID(s)

  • Call Status and Errors (if any)

  • Timestamp of Call


Step 5: Take Action Based on Findings

If the issue is related to Telephony:

  • Use the extracted details to troubleshoot or investigate further (e.g., failed calls, dropped connections).

  • Escalate internally or respond to the customer with relevant insights.

If the issue is not related to Telephony:

  • Identify the root issue category.

  • Route the request to the appropriate internal team (e.g., Product, Engineering, CSM) with the extracted data to assist their investigation.

Step 6: Document and Follow Up

  • Log the findings and actions taken in the appropriate internal system or ticket.

  • Follow up with the customer or internal team as needed to ensure resolution.
