This was briefly touched on here: "What/When is the best time to call back?" but only in comments for an answer rather than the question itself.
Should I use callback, call-back, or call back for
Request a call-back
?
Is there a standard to use?

1The point is that when we have this type of construction involving a verb plus a preposition, and it's being used as a verb, it's two words ("Please log in."), while the noun form is a single word or hyphenated ("login screen"). – Mar 28 '14 at 20:26

You can only use call back in the sentence "What/when is the best time to call back?"
You should use callback or call-back in Request a callback or The salesman did a callback at 15:03 but it was unanswered where 'callback' is a noun describing the event of calling someone back.
