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

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.

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