Standard Plivo Hangup Causes
Plivo Hangup Causes can be used to identify why & how a call was disconnected. This document contains the list of standard Plivo hangup causes & sources.
Call Hangup Cause and Hangup Source information is part of Plivo Call Detail Record (CDR). CDRs can be retrieved via API or viewed on the Plivo console.
Hangup information is also included in callback requests sent on call hangup.
- For outbound API calls, the hangup information is included in the payload sent to the hangup_url specified in the Make Call API request.
- For incoming calls, this information is included in the payload sent to the hangup_url specified for the associated Plivo Application.
- For calls initiated using <Dial> XML, this information is included in the payload of DialHangup events sent to the Dial callbackUrl.
