When you connect CallRail, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Questions owners ask about CallRail

• Why are some calls missing from my CallRail call log?Calls from numbers you have blocked are disconnected and do not show in the call log, so a block set too widely can lower your call count.
• Why aren't my CallRail calls showing up as Google Ads conversions?Only calls from paid Google ad clicks that reach a visitor tracking number count as Google Ads conversions, so other calls can be in CallRail but not in Google Ads.
• Why are more of my CallRail calls showing as missed?When CallRail cannot detect the voicemail on the number a call rings through to, a call that reached voicemail can be marked as missed.
