The words Scarlett uses
A quick reference for the terms you'll meet across these guides.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Divert | Your phone network forwarding your calls to Scarlett's line. You set this on your own phone or with your provider, not in the app. |
| Diverting number | Your business number — the one the customer actually dialled. It's how Scarlett knows which business a call is for. |
| The Scarlett line | The number your calls forward to. Shared across customers; your diverting number is what identifies you (unless you have your own line). |
| Intent | What a call was about — new enquiry, quote, booking, urgent, complaint or marketing. Scarlett assigns one per call. |
| Status | What happened to a call — Booked, Callback due, Transferred, Unactioned or Declined. |
| Scenario | A rule: "if the call looks like X, do Y." |
| Call route / department | An internal number Scarlett can transfer a live caller to. |
| Unattributed call | A call Scarlett couldn't match to your account — usually because the carrier stripped the diverting number. She answers as a generic answering service and takes a message. |
| Readiness | How much of Train Scarlett you've completed — services, documents, scenarios and a number. |
