    Can someone please define nOutbound for me , or explain how nOutbound is different from simple outbound calls with tHandle.

    Hi ruchkika Check out the Conversation Aggregate docs here https://developer.genesys.cloud/api/rest/v2/analytics/metrics#aggregate-metrics nOutbound is the number of outbound calls placed on behalf of a queue tHandle is the complete time an agent spent on an interaction, includes time spent contacting, time spent dialing, talk time, hold time, and after call work.

    Okay, to speak in layman terms, does that mean, caller was in the queue first, and call didn't get connected at that time, but caller got a callback later. and that will be considered under nOutbound?

    Yes, it would be one of the scenario that would count in nOutbound. Customer calls and in the IVR/Architect flow, he is offered a callback. When the callback request is then distributed to the Contact Center Agent, the agent can then initiate a call to the customer (initiating an outbound call on behalf of a queue). That outbound call initiated by the agent counts in nOutbound. It can also be when a Contact Center Agent simply initiates an outbound call to a customer, on behalf of a queue (e.g. checking External Contacts and contacting the customer on his number, or receiving an email from a customer and deciding to call him). It can also be when a customer is contacted as part of an outbound campaign.

    So whenever a call is made to an external number, on behalf of a queue (i.e. an ACD outbound call).

    Regards,
