Result code reference

This topic covers the codes used in Proactive Engagement Platform.

A result code indicates the outcome of the platform's attempt to contact a consumer. A result code can be assigned to an alert several times during its lifecycle, and accordingly, a realtime report may show result codes that are not final.

Not all result codes are used with all media types. The Media Type column indicates which media type each result code is used with.
