This is where your different Do Not Call (DNC) or Suppression lists are managed. Expand below to learn more:

  • DNC tool provides two options to manage the DNC list. The options are :
    • Legacy DNC -  Provides a Daily Account, Permanent Account, Daily Phone and Permanent Phone DNC editor that ensures entries are scrubbed during campaign build time.
    • Dial-Time Phone DNC - Provides a DNC editor with Contact Group mapping and entry expiration date that ensures entries are not dialed, messaged or emailed during dial/message/email time.
  • Legacy DNC is the default option. Dial-Time Phone DNC option is available on request. Contact your Account team to discuss DNC options/features (Not all DNC features are enabled by default, including service-specific DNC lists).
  • You can confirm the set DNC option by navigating to Configure > Client / Service > Client > Settings > Advanced Features. 

Uploaded campaigns are compared to the DNC list at the time of building. Entries added to a DNC list post-build are compared to phone/account numbers that are yet to dial.

  • Daily DNC - This will place a phone number in the DNC list for the remainder of that day’s dialing period.
    • Daily Zip is also added and controlled from within this type.
  • Daily Account DNC - This will place an account number in the DNC for the remainder of that day’s dialing period. This can be added for the whole site or one or more services.
  • Permanent DNC - This will place a phone # in the DNC until the number is removed.
    • Permanent Zip is also added and controlled from within this type.
  • Permanent Account DNC - This will place an account number in the DNC list for permanent removal. This can be added for the whole site or one or more services.
