# Dial Status Reporting

> Track call status at each stage using webhook-based dial status reporting

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ## Overview

    Plivo passes the call status of an ongoing call so you can decide how to process it. For all the calls made using Plivo’s [Make a Call API](/voice/api/call/#make-a-call) or [Dial XML](/voice/xml/dial/), Plivo sends the call status to the application server at different stages of a call. We send call status as an HTTP webhook request to URLs such as `ring_url`, `answer_url`, `fallback_url`, `action_url`, `callback_url`, and `hangup_url`.

    In each callback, the `CallStatus` parameter takes one of these values:

    <table>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td><strong>in-progress</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was answered and is in progress. Calls with this status can be terminated using the <a href="/voice/api/call/hangup-a-call/">Hangup API</a>.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>completed</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was completed, terminated either by the Hangup API or by one of the parties in the call.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>ringing</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call is ringing. This status is sent to the Ring URL.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>no-answer</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was not answered.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>busy</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The called line is busy.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>cancel</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was canceled by the caller.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>timeout</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>There was a timeout while connecting your call, caused by either an issue with one of the terminating carriers or network lag in our system.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>

    Plivo sends these parameters to the application server in the webhook:

    <table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Parameter</th>
          <th>Description</th>

        <tr>
          <td>`DialRingStatus`</td>
          <td>Indicates whether the dial attempt rang or not. Values: `true`, `false`</td>
        </tr>

          <td>The <a href="/voice/troubleshooting/hangup-causes/#list-of-hangup-causes">standard telephony hangup cause</a>.</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td>`DialStatus`</td>
          <td>Status of the dial. Values: `completed`, `busy`, `failed`, `timeout`, `no-answer`</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td>`DialALegUUID`</td>
          <td>CallUUID of the A leg.</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td>`DialBLegUUID`</td>
          <td>CallUUID of the B leg. Empty if nobody answers.</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>

    You can implement dial status reporting either by using our PHLO visual workflow builder or our APIs and XML documents. Follow the instructions in one of the tabs below.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Using XML">
        Here’s how to use Plivo APIs and XML to send callback events for dial status reporting.

        ## How it works

        <Frame>
          <img src="https://mintcdn.com/plivo/2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy/images/dial-status-reporting.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy&q=85&s=128df4ffcabef5e92220b9616eff9f21" alt="Outbound Call Flow" width="1446" height="774" data-path="images/dial-status-reporting.png" />
        </Frame>

        Plivo requests an answer URL when a Plivo number receives a call (step 2) and expects the file at that URL to be configured in the application assigned to the number to hold a valid XML response with instructions on how to handle the call. For [outbound calls](/voice/use-cases/make-outbound-calls/node/) you specify an answer URL along with the make call API request, and for [incoming calls](/voice/use-cases/receive-incoming-calls/node/) the answer URL is specified in the Plivo application associated with the phone number.

        In addition to requests to the answer URL, Plivo initiates HTTP requests to your application server throughout the course of a call based on specific XML elements and attributes in your answer XML document (step 5). Such requests are broadly classified into two categories:

        **Action URL requests:** These requests are typically  invoked at the end of an XML element’s execution, and the server expects XML instructions to carry forward the call in response to these  requests. This happens, for example, when a caller provides Touch-Tone input during GetInput XML execution.

        **Callback URL requests:** These requests serve as webhooks to pass the application server  information about events through the course of an XML element’s  execution, such as when a conference participant is muted or unmuted. These callback URL requests can be used for dial status reporting. No XML instructions are expected in response to these requests.

        ## Prerequisites

        To get started, you need a Plivo account —  [sign up](https://cx.plivo.com/signup) with your work email address if you don’t have one already. You must have a voice-enabled Plivo phone number to receive incoming calls; you can rent numbers from the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page of the Plivo console, or by using the [Numbers API](/numbers/). If this is your first time using Plivo APIs, follow our instructions to [set up a Node.js development environment](/sdk/server/set-up-node-dev-environment-api-xml-voice/) and a web server and safely expose that server to the internet.

        ## Create an Express server for dial status reporting

        Create a file called `dial_status.js` and paste into it this code.

        ```js theme={null}
        var plivo = require('plivo');
        var express = require('express');
        var app = express();

        app.set('port', (process.env.PORT || 5000));
        app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

        app.all('/dialstatus/', function(request, response) {
            var r = plivo.Response();
            var params = {
                'action': "https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action/",
                'method': "POST",
                'redirect': "true"
            };
            var dial = r.addDial(params);
            var first_number = "<phone_number>";
            dial.addNumber(first_number);
            console.log (r.toXML());
            response.set({
                'Content-Type': 'text/xml'
            });
            response.end(r.toXML());
        });

        app.all('/dialstatus/action/', function(request, response) {
            var status = request.param('Status');
            var aleg = request.param('DialALegUUID');
            var bleg = request.param('DialBLegUUID');

            console.log ('Status : ' + status + ' Aleg UUID  : ' + aleg + ' Bleg UUID : ' + bleg);
        });

        app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
            console.log('Node app is running on port', app.get('port'));
        });
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

        In this code, we tell Plivo to POST the call status to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/.  We set the [redirect attribute](/voice/xml/redirect/), which determines whether to change the call flow of an ongoing call based on the actions performed, to `true`, which tells Plivo to expect a valid XML document to be posted to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action. The code creates an XML document with a Dial XML element.

        ## Create a Plivo application for dial status reporting

        Associate the Express server you created with Plivo by creating a Plivo application. Visit Voice > [Applications](https://cx.plivo.com/xml-applications) in the Plivo console and click on **Add New Application**, or use Plivo’s [Application API](/account/api/application/#create-an-application).

        Give your application a name — we called ours `Dial Status Report`. Enter the server URL you want to use (for example `https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/`) in the `Answer URL` field and set the method to `POST`.  Click on `Create Application` to save your application.

        </Frame>

        ## Assign a Plivo number to your application

        Navigate to the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page and select the phone number you want to use for this application.

        From the Application Type drop-down, select `XML Application`.

        From the Plivo Application drop-down, select `Dial Status Report` (the name we gave the application).

        Click **Update Number** to save.

        </Frame>

        ## Test

        Make a call to your Plivo number using any phone. Plivo will send a request to the answer URL you provided requesting an XML response and then process the call according to the instructions in the XML document the server provides, and call details will be posted to your application server via the action and callback URLs you configured throughout the course of the call.

        ## Create a Rails controller for dial status reporting

        Change to the project directory and run this command to create a Rails controller to reject incoming calls.

        ```shell theme={null}
        $ rails generate controller Plivo voice
        ```

        This command generates a controller named plivo\_controller in the app/controllers/ directory, and a view will be generated in app/views/plivo directory. We can delete the view as we don’t need it.

        ```shell theme={null}
        $ rm app/views/plivo/voice.html.erb
        ```

        Open the file app/controllers/plivo\_controller.rb and paste this code in the PlivoController class:

        ```rb theme={null}
        include Plivo
        include Plivo::XML
        include Plivo::Exceptions

        class PlivoController < ApplicationController
         def dialstatus
            r = Response.new()
            params = {
                'action' => "https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action/", # Redirect to this URL after leaving Dial.
                'method' => 'GET' # Submit to action URL using GET or POST.
            }

            r.addSpeak("Connecting your call..")
            d = r.addDial(params)
            d.addNumber("<phone_number>")
            xml = Plivo::PlivoXML.new(r)
            render xml: xml.to_xml
         end
         def dialstatusaction
            status = params[:DialStatus]
            aleg = params[:DialALegUUID]
            bleg = params[:DialBLegUUID]
            puts "Status : #{status}, ALeg UUID : #{aleg}, BLeg UUID : #{bleg}"
         end
        end
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

        In this code, we tell Plivo to POST the call status to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/. We set the [redirect attribute](/voice/xml/redirect/), which determines whether to change the call flow of an ongoing call based on the actions performed, to `true`, which tells Plivo to expect a valid XML document to be posted to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action. The code creates an XML document with a Dial XML element.

        ## Create a Plivo application for dial status reporting

        Associate the Rails controller you created with Plivo by creating a Plivo application. Visit Voice > [Applications](https://cx.plivo.com/xml-applications) in the Plivo console and click on **Add New Application**, or use Plivo’s [Application API](/account/api/application/#create-an-application).

        Give your application a name — we called ours `Dial Status Report`. Enter the server URL you want to use (for example `https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/`) in the `Answer URL` field and set the method to `POST`.  Click on `Create Application` to save your application.

    You can implement dial status reporting either by using our PHLO visual workflow builder or our APIs and XML documents. Follow the instructions in one of the tabs below.

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Using XML">
        Here’s how to use Plivo APIs and XML to send callback events for dial status reporting.

        ## How it works

        <Frame>
          <img src="https://mintcdn.com/plivo/2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy/images/dial-status-reporting.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy&q=85&s=128df4ffcabef5e92220b9616eff9f21" alt="Screen Incoming Calls Call Flow" width="1446" height="774" data-path="images/dial-status-reporting.png" />
        </Frame>

        Plivo requests an answer URL when a Plivo number receives a call (step 2) and expects the file at that URL to be configured in the application assigned to the number to hold a valid XML response with instructions on how to handle the call. For [outbound calls](/voice/use-cases/make-outbound-calls/node/) you specify an answer URL along with the make call API request, and for [incoming calls](/voice/use-cases/receive-incoming-calls/node/) the answer URL is specified in the Plivo application associated with the phone number.

        In addition to requests to the answer URL, Plivo initiates HTTP requests to your application server throughout the course of a call based on specific XML elements and attributes in your answer XML document (step 5). Such requests are broadly classified into two categories:

        **Action URL requests:** These requests are typically  invoked at the end of an XML element’s execution, and the server expects XML instructions to carry forward the call in response to these  requests. This happens, for example, when a caller provides Touch-Tone input during GetInput XML execution.

        **Callback URL requests:** These requests serve as webhooks to pass the application server  information about events through the course of an XML element’s  execution, such as when a conference participant is muted or unmuted. These callback URL requests can be used for dial status reporting. No XML instructions are expected in response to these requests.

        ## Prerequisites

        To get started, you need a Plivo account —  [sign up](https://cx.plivo.com/signup) with your work email address if you don’t have one already. You must have a voice-enabled Plivo phone number to receive incoming calls; you can rent numbers from the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page of the Plivo console, or by using the [Numbers API](/numbers/). If this is your first time using Plivo APIs, follow our instructions to [set up a Python development environment](/sdk/server/set-up-python-dev-environment-api-xml-voice/) and a web server and safely expose that server to the internet.

        ## Create a Flask application for dial status reporting

        Create a file called `dial_status.py` and paste into it this code.

        ```py theme={null}
        from flask import Flask, request, Response
        from plivo import plivoxml

        app=Flask(__name__)

        @app.route('/dialstatus/', methods=['GET','POST'])
        def dial_xml():

            # Generate Dial XML
            response = plivoxml.ResponseElement()
            response.add(plivoxml.SpeakElement('Connecting your call..'))
            response.add(plivoxml.DialElement(action='https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action/', method='POST', redirect=True)
            .add(plivoxml.NumberElement("<phone_number>")))
            return Response(response.to_string(), mimetype='application/xml')

        @app.route('/dialstatus/action/', methods=['GET','POST'])
        def dial_status():

            # After completion of the call, Plivo will report back the status to the action URL in the Dial XML.

            status = request.args.get('DialStatus')
            aleg = request.args.get('DialALegUUID')
            bleg = request.args.get('DialBLegUUID')
            print "Status : %s, ALeg Uuid : %s, BLeg Uuid : %s" % (status,aleg,bleg)
            return "Dial status reported"

        if __name__ == '__main__':
            app.run(host='0.0.0.0', debug=True)
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

        In this code, we tell Plivo to POST the call status to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/. We set the [redirect attribute](/voice/xml/redirect/), which determines whether to change the call flow of an ongoing call based on the actions performed, to `true`, which tells Plivo to expect a valid XML document to be posted to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action. The code creates an XML document with a Dial XML element.

        ## Create a Plivo application for dial status reporting

        Associate the Flask application you created with Plivo by creating a Plivo application. Visit Voice > [Applications](https://cx.plivo.com/xml-applications) in the Plivo console and click on **Add New Application**, or use Plivo’s [Application API](/account/api/application/#create-an-application).

        Give your application a name — we called ours `Dial Status Report`. Enter the server URL you want to use (for example `https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/`) in the `Answer URL` field and set the method to `POST`.  Click on `Create Application` to save your application.

        </Frame>

        ## Assign a Plivo number to your application

        Navigate to the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page and select the phone number you want to use for this application.

        From the Application Type drop-down, select `XML Application`.

        From the Plivo Application drop-down, select `Dial Status Report` (the name we gave the application).

        Click **Update Number** to save.

        ## Test

        Make a call to your Plivo number using any phone. Plivo will send a request to the answer URL you provided requesting an XML response and then process the call according to the instructions in the XML document the server provides, and call details will be posted to your application server via the action and callback URLs you configured throughout the course of the call.

    ## Overview

    Plivo passes the call status of an ongoing call so you can decide how to process it. For all the calls made using Plivo’s [Make a Call API](/voice/api/call/#make-a-call) or [Dial XML](/voice/xml/dial/), Plivo sends the call status to the application server at different stages of a call. We send call status as an HTTP webhook request to URLs such as `ring_url`, `answer_url`, `fallback_url`, `action_url`, `callback_url`, and `hangup_url`.

    In each callback, the `CallStatus` parameter takes one of these values:

        ## Create a Laravel controller for dial status reporting

        Create a file called `dial_status.php` and paste into it this code.

        ```php theme={null}
        <?php

        namespace App\Http\Controllers;
        require '../../vendor/autoload.php';
        use Plivo\RestClient;
        use Plivo\XML\Response;
        use Illuminate\Http\Request;

        class VoiceController extends Controller
        {
            // Speak XML to handle your first incoming call
            public function dialStatus()
            {
              $r = new Response();
              // Add Speak tag
              $body = "Connecting your call..";
              $r->addSpeak($body);
              $params = array(
                 'action' => 'https://<yourdomain>.com/dial_action/', # Redirect to this URL after leaving Dial.
                 'method' => 'GET' # Submit to action URL using GET or POST.
              );
              // Add Dial tag
              $d = $r->addDial($params);
              $number = "<phone_number>";
              $d->addNumber($number);
              Header('Content-type: text/xml');

            }
            // Action URL Block
            public function dialstatusAction()
            {
              // Print the Dial Details
              $status = $_REQUEST['DialStatus'];
              $aleg = $_REQUEST['DialALegUUID'];
              $bleg = $_REQUEST['DialBLegUUID'];
              echo "Status = $status , Aleg UUID = $aleg , Bleg UUID = $bleg";
            }
        }
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

        In this code, we tell Plivo to POST the call status to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/.

      <Tab title="Using XML">
        Here’s how to use Plivo APIs and XML to send callback events for dial status reporting.

        ## How it works

        <Frame>
          <img src="https://mintcdn.com/plivo/2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy/images/dial-status-reporting.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy&q=85&s=128df4ffcabef5e92220b9616eff9f21" alt="Outbound Call Flow" width="1446" height="774" data-path="images/dial-status-reporting.png" />
        </Frame>

        Plivo requests an answer URL when a Plivo number receives a call (step 2) and expects the file at that URL to be configured in the application assigned to the number to hold a valid XML response with instructions on how to handle the call. For [outbound calls](/voice/use-cases/make-outbound-calls/node/) you specify an answer URL along with the make call API request, and for [incoming calls](/voice/use-cases/receive-incoming-calls/node/) the answer URL is specified in the Plivo application associated with the phone number.

        In addition to requests to the answer URL, Plivo initiates HTTP requests to your application server throughout the course of a call based on specific XML elements and attributes in your answer XML document (step 5). Such requests are broadly classified into two categories:

        **Action URL requests:** These requests are typically  invoked at the end of an XML element’s execution, and the server expects XML instructions to carry forward the call in response to these  requests. This happens, for example, when a caller provides Touch-Tone input during GetInput XML execution.

        **Callback URL requests:** These requests serve as webhooks to pass the application server  information about events through the course of an XML element’s  execution, such as when a conference participant is muted or unmuted. These callback URL requests can be used for dial status reporting. No XML instructions are expected in response to these requests.

        ## Prerequisites

        To get started, you need a Plivo account —  [sign up](https://cx.plivo.com/signup) with your work email address if you don’t have one already. You must have a voice-enabled Plivo phone number to receive incoming calls; you can rent numbers from the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page of the Plivo console, or by using the [Numbers API](/numbers/). If this is your first time using Plivo APIs, follow our instructions to [set up a .NET development environment](/sdk/server/set-up-dotnet-dev-environment-api-xml-voice/) and a web server and safely expose that server to the internet.

        ## Create an MVC controller for dial status reporting

        Navigate to the Controllers directory in the Dialstatus app. Create a Controller named `DialstatusController.cs` and paste into it this code.

        ```cs theme={null}
        using System;
        using System.Collections.Generic;
        using Plivo.XML;
        using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

        namespace Dialstatus.Controllers
        {
            public class DialstatusController : Controller
            {
                // GET: /<controller>/
                public IActionResult Index()
                {
                    Plivo.XML.Response resp = new Plivo.XML.Response();
                    // Generate Dial XML
                    Plivo.XML.Dial dial = new Plivo.XML.Dial(new Dictionary<string, string>()
                    {
                        {"action","https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action/"}, // Redirect to this URL after leaving Dial.
                        {"method","GET"} // Submit to action URL using GET or POST.
                    });
                    dial.AddNumber("<phone_number>", new Dictionary<string, string>() { });
                    resp.Add(dial);
                    var output = resp.ToString();
                    return this.Content(output, "text/xml");
                }
                //Action URL
                public String Action()
                {
                    var status = Request.Query["DialStatus"];
                    var aleg = Request.Form["DialALegUUID"];
                    var bleg = Request.Form["DialBLegUUID"];
                    Debug.WriteLine("Status : {0}, ALeg UUID : {1}, BLeg UUID : {2}", status, aleg, bleg);
                    return "OK";
                }
            }
        }
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

        In this code, we tell Plivo to POST the call status to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/.  We set the [redirect attribute](/voice/xml/redirect/), which determines whether to change the call flow of an ongoing call based on the actions performed, to `true`, which tells Plivo to expect a valid XML document to be posted to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action. The code creates an XML document with a Dial XML element.

        ## Create a Plivo application for dial status reporting

        Associate the controller you created with Plivo by creating a Plivo application. Visit Voice > [Applications](https://cx.plivo.com/xml-applications) in the Plivo console and click on **Add New Application**, or use Plivo’s [Application API](/account/api/application/#create-an-application).

        Give your application a name — we called ours `Dial Status Report`. Enter the server URL you want to use (for example `https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/`) in the `Answer URL` field and set the method to `POST`.  Click on `Create Application` to save your application.

        </Frame>

        ## Assign a Plivo number to your application

        Navigate to the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page and select the phone number you want to use for this application.

        From the Application Type drop-down, select `XML Application`.

        From the Plivo Application drop-down, select `Dial Status Report` (the name we gave the application).

        Click **Update Number** to save.

        ## Test

        Make a call to your Plivo number using any phone. Plivo will send a request to the answer URL you provided requesting an XML response and then process the call according to the instructions in the XML document the server provides, and call details will be posted to your application server via the action and callback URLs you configured throughout the course of the call.

    ## Overview

    Plivo passes the call status of an ongoing call so you can decide how to process it. For all the calls made using Plivo’s [Make a Call API](/voice/api/call/#make-a-call) or [Dial XML](/voice/xml/dial/), Plivo sends the call status to the application server at different stages of a call. We send call status as an HTTP webhook request to URLs such as `ring_url`, `answer_url`, `fallback_url`, `action_url`, `callback_url`, and `hangup_url`.

    In each callback, the `CallStatus` parameter takes one of these values:

    <table>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td><strong>in-progress</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was answered and is in progress. Calls with this status can be terminated using the <a href="/voice/api/call/hangup-a-call/">Hangup API</a>.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>completed</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was completed, terminated either by the Hangup API or by one of the parties in the call.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>ringing</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call is ringing. This status is sent to the Ring URL.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>no-answer</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was not answered.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>busy</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The called line is busy.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>cancel</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>The call was canceled by the caller.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <td><strong>timeout</strong></td>

          <td>
            <p>There was a timeout while connecting your call, caused by either an issue with one of the terminating carriers or network lag in our system.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>

    Plivo sends these parameters to the application server in the webhook:

        ## Create a Spark application for dial status reporting

        Create a Java class named `DialStatus` and paste into it this code.

        ```java theme={null}
        import static spark.Spark.*;
        import com.plivo.api.xml.Dial;
        import com.plivo.api.xml.Number;
        import com.plivo.api.xml.Response;

        public class dialstatus {
            public static void main(String[] args) {
                post("/dialstatus/", (request, response) -> {
                    response.type("application/xml");
                    Response resp = new Response()
                        .children(
                                new Dial()
                                    .action("https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action/")
                                    .method("POST")
                                    .redirect(true)
                                    .children(

                                    )
                        );
                    return resp.toXmlString();
                });
                post("/dialstatus/action/", (request, response) -> {
                    String status = request.queryParams("Status");
                    String aleg = request.queryParams("DialALegUUID");
                    String bleg = request.queryParams("DialBLegUUID");
                    System.out.println("Status : " + status + " ALeg UUID : " + aleg + " Bleg UUID : " + bleg);
                    response.raw().getWriter().print("Status : " + status + " ALeg UUID : " + aleg + " Bleg UUID : " + bleg);
                    return "done";
                });
            }
        }
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

    You can implement dial status reporting either by using our PHLO visual workflow builder or our APIs and XML documents. Follow the instructions in one of the tabs below.

      <Tab title="Using XML">
        Here’s how to use Plivo APIs and XML to send callback events for dial status reporting.

        ## How it works

          <img src="https://mintcdn.com/plivo/2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy/images/dial-status-reporting.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2OFvQXVNT3srKLUy&q=85&s=128df4ffcabef5e92220b9616eff9f21" alt="Outbound Call Flow" width="1446" height="774" data-path="images/dial-status-reporting.png" />
        </Frame>

        Plivo requests an answer URL when a Plivo number receives a call (step 2) and expects the file at that URL to be configured in the application assigned to the number to hold a valid XML response with instructions on how to handle the call. For [outbound calls](/voice/use-cases/make-outbound-calls/node/) you specify an answer URL along with the make call API request, and for [incoming calls](/voice/use-cases/receive-incoming-calls/node/) the answer URL is specified in the Plivo application associated with the phone number.

        In addition to requests to the answer URL, Plivo initiates HTTP requests to your application server throughout the course of a call based on specific XML elements and attributes in your answer XML document (step 5). Such requests are broadly classified into two categories:

        **Action URL requests:** These requests are typically  invoked at the end of an XML element’s execution, and the server expects XML instructions to carry forward the call in response to these  requests. This happens, for example, when a caller provides Touch-Tone input during GetInput XML execution.

        **Callback URL requests:** These requests serve as webhooks to pass the application server  information about events through the course of an XML element’s  execution, such as when a conference participant is muted or unmuted. These callback URL requests can be used for dial status reporting. No XML instructions are expected in response to these requests.

        ## Prerequisites

        To get started, you need a Plivo account —  [sign up](https://cx.plivo.com/signup) with your work email address if you don’t have one already. You must have a voice-enabled Plivo phone number to receive incoming calls; you can rent numbers from the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page of the Plivo console, or by using the [Numbers API](/numbers/). If this is your first time using Plivo APIs, follow our instructions to [set up a Go development environment](/sdk/server/set-up-go-dev-environment-api-xml-voice/) and a web server and safely expose that server to the internet.

        ## Create a Go application for dial status reporting

        Create a file called `dial_status.go` and paste into it this code.

        ```go theme={null}
        package main

        import (
        	"github.com/go-martini/martini"
        	"github.com/plivo/plivo-go/v7/xml"
        	"net/http"
        )

        func main() {
        	m := martini.Classic()
        	m.Post("/dialstatus/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) string {
        		w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/xml")
        		response := xml.ResponseElement{
        			Contents: []interface{}{
        				new(xml.DialElement).
        					SetAction("https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action/").
        					SetMethod("POST").
        					SetRedirect(true).
        					SetContents([]interface{}{
        						new(xml.NumberElement).
        							SetContents("<phone_number>"),
        					}),
        			},
        		}
        		return response.String()
        	})
        	m.Post("/dialstatus/action", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) string {
        		status := r.FormValue("DialStatus")
        		aleg := r.FormValue("DialALegUUID")
        		bleg := r.FormValue("DialBLegUUID")
        		result := status + " " + aleg + " " + bleg
        		return result
        	})
        	m.Run()
        }
        ```

        Replace the phone number placeholder with an actual phone number in [E.164 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) (for example, +12025551234).

        In this code, we tell Plivo to POST the call status to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/. We set the [redirect attribute](/voice/xml/redirect/), which determines whether to change the call flow of an ongoing call based on the actions performed, to `true`, which tells Plivo to expect a valid XML document to be posted to https\://\<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/action. The code creates an XML document with a Dial XML element.

        ## Create a Plivo application for dial status reporting

        Associate the Go application you created with Plivo by creating a Plivo application. Visit Voice > [Applications](https://cx.plivo.com/xml-applications) in the Plivo console and click on **Add New Application**, or use Plivo’s [Application API](/account/api/application/#create-an-application).

        Give your application a name — we called ours `Dial Status Report`. Enter the server URL you want to use (for example `https://<yourdomain>.com/dialstatus/`) in the `Answer URL` field and set the method to `POST`.  Click on `Create Application` to save your application.

        </Frame>

        ## Assign a Plivo number to your application

        Navigate to the [Numbers](https://cx.plivo.com/phone-numbers) page and select the phone number you want to use for this application.

        From the Application Type drop-down, select `XML Application`.

        From the Plivo Application drop-down, select `Dial Status Report` (the name we gave the application).

        Click **Update Number** to save.

        </Frame>

        ## Test

        Make a call to your Plivo number using any phone. Plivo will send a request to the answer URL you provided requesting an XML response and then process the call according to the instructions in the XML document the server provides, and call details will be posted to your application server via the action and callback URLs you configured throughout the course of the call.
