Page tree

This section allows you to upload and manage campaigns. A campaign is a list of contact records.

You can modify the scope of campaigns displayed on this page.

Use the Call Center and Service dropdown options to filter the displayed campaigns by the selected values.

At the top right of the Campaigns panel, there is a display range dropdown. The following ranges can be selected:

  • Today's Active - Campaigns that have been loaded today and are assigned.
  • Today's - Campaigns that have been loaded today.
  • Today's Unassigned - Campaigns that have been loaded today but are unassigned.
  • Last 7 days - Campaigns that have been loaded within the last 7 days.
  • Last 30 days - Campaigns that have been loaded within the last 30 days.
  • Last 90 days - Campaigns that have been loaded within the last 90 days.
  • Tomorrow's -  Campaigns created and scheduled for the next day.

The default selected range is Today's. Once a new range is selected you must hit the Refresh button to the right of the drop-down menu. Use the Name filter box to search a campaign by name. The name filter box will be visible after loading 11 campaigns to the selected service. You need to enter at least 3 characters to start the search.

Uploading a Campaign
  1. Click the Upload button in the lower-right corner of the campaign manager window. This will bring up the Upload Campaign window.
  2. Click on either the Campaign File field or the green arrow icon to navigate to the local directory that contains your upload file.
  3. Select the file you wish to upload (one at a time) by highlighting the file, and clicking Open, or by double-clicking on the file name. 

Campaigns should be submitted individually, not in batches. If you wish to load multiple files they can be sent via SFTP and processed automatically. 

  • When creating or uploading a campaign file, you can now use international numbers in the Caller ID, Call Back, and Operator Phone fields.
  • Depending on your values in the Dialing Country of Origin field, phone number formatting within your Campaign file upload must be handled as follows:

    • Outside the dialing country of origin (international number): The phone number must include "+<Country-Code>" followed by the remaining digits.

    • Inside the dialing country of origin (local number): The phone number does not require the "+<Country-Code>".

Assigning Dial Characteristics

After selecting the campaign file you must assign dial characteristics.

Basic Tab

  2. Select a campaign type from the Campaign Type drop-down menu.
  3. Adjust or accept the following three phone options.
    1. The Operator Phone is the number first dialed by the platform when extension-based agents are called by the platform to tether into the system.
    2. Caller Id can be selected from the drop-down list. If the Local Caller ID feature is enabled, [Local, rotated] option is the default option. Modify the available CID list from the Services editor.
    3. The Callback Phone is the number left on answering machines or live person messages by the system.
  4. Select the desired voice talent from the Voice drop-down menu.

    1. Julie  - American Female
    2. Kate  - British Female
    3. Bob - American Male
    4. Scarlet – American southern Female
    5. Juanita - Spanish Female
    6. Gruff M – American Male
    7. Gruff F – American Female
    8. Lee – American Male
    9. Claudine – French Canadian Female

    Not all voice talents may be available. Please check with your account team about what may be available to your company.


  5. Select an answering machine messaging option from the AM Option drop-down menu.
  6. Select a dialing strategy from the Dial Strategy drop-down menu.
  7. Scrub is a read-only setting that denotes the wireless segmentation option for the selected service. This setting is selected in the Services and Client editor Setting tab. The available wireless segmentation options for a campaign are the following:
    • None(0) - This is the default option and if selected, no scrub occurs.
    • Wireless(1) - Scrubs all wireless phone numbers so that all landline numbers can be dialed.
    • Landline(2) - Scrubs all landline numbers so that all wireless phone numbers can be dialed.
    • Segment Wireless(3) - Scrubs all wireless phone numbers from positions 1-15 and place them starting at position 16.

The service level Scrub option auto-populates for the selected service. If the service level scrub option is selected as Select One (Null) for the particular service, then the client level Scrub option will be auto-populated for that particular service when manually loading the campaign.

Advanced Tab

  1. Click the check box next to Segmentation Template and select an option from the drop-down menu if you want to apply a segmentation template.
  2. Click the check box next to Allow Append to allow the uploaded campaign file to be appended to an active campaign. To add/append records to active campaigns requires the use of Campaign API. New records can be appended to active campaigns only in Built, Pause or Play status.
    1. This setting will only display if 'Allow Append' functionality is enabled in Client editor -> Settings tab -> Advanced Features section.
    2. For append automation support please contact your Account Manager or the Client Services team.
  3. To manually control the campaign's dialing leave the radial button next to On Demand selected. To schedule a campaign's dialing, select the radial button next to Schedule a run, this will make available Schedule options. By default Start Time and End Time are ASAP and End of Day, respectively. 
    1. ASAP - Start the campaign as soon as possible.
    2. End of Day - The campaign will end by curfew, depletion, or if a manager stops the campaign.
    3. Next Day - The campaign will play the following day according to the schedule set.
  4. To specify either Start Time or End Time deselect the checkboxes to the left of ASAP or End of Day and select the hour and minute from the drop-down menus.

    Campaign schedules use a 24-hour clock (aka military time) and are based in the Eastern Time Zone.


  5. Click the Upload button at the bottom of the Upload Campaign window to finish, or Cancel to cancel.

Requeues are additional dialing passes after a campaign has finished dialing or has been stopped manually.

  1. To create a requeue, select a campaign from the Campaign Grid and click the Requeue button in the lower right of the Campaigns panel. 
  2. Assign dial characteristics as you would for an uploaded campaign.

Please note that you can only requeue within the same call center. You cannot requeue on a service that has custom (different input) logic. Wireless numbers can be 'allowed' or 'suppressed' regardless of prior runs, but wireless numbers previously scrubbed will not be available to dial.

Be sure your campaign requeues only build from the most recently dialed campaign (so data is accurate).  Failing to do so may result in redialing an account that was a right party or live party by taking into account that prior run’s outcomes.

  • Subsequently requeued files are appended by a file extension of “.r1” representing each prior requeue. For example:
  • Requeue of original file = .r1
  • Requeue of first requeue (.r1) = .r1.r1
  • Requeue of second requeue (.r1.r1) = .r1.r1.r1

Not building a subsequent requeue off of the previous file’s outcomes will append a sequential file extension such as .r2, .r3, etc.


Deactivating a campaign allows for contacts that have not been dialed to be reloaded.

  1. Select a campaign that has been completed or stopped manually and the Play State is Reported.
  2. Click the Deactivate button in the lower right of the Campaigns panel.

Double-click a campaign to present the Campaign Details screen. This screen offers the following tabs:

  • General - The General tab provides campaign characteristics and timing details, phone numbers used during the course of the campaign, timezone breakdown. You can adjust an active campaign's answering machine option from the AM Option drop-down menu. If campaign append is allowed, it will be displayed as read-only.
  • Campaign Records - Provides a detailed view of the first 5000 records. This view can be sorted by Contact Transaction ID, Contact (Account Number), First Name, Last Name, Queued, and Date Modified. 
  • Interactions: Displays the details of all the previous interaction attempts made on a record. The default columns that appear on this tab differ depending on the type of selected campaign (email, SMS, or outbound). You can customize the columns and modify the display by using Settings icon.

    The status of a WhatsApp campaign (for example, if a WhatsApp message is read or delivered) appears in the Result column on the Interactions tab of the campaign, depending on the privacy settings of the WhatsApp accounts. For example, if the Read receipts setting is disabled for a WhatsApp account, the corresponding status is not recorded.


  • *State Breakdown - A map that shows the percentage of records completed by state.
  •  *Segmentation - A diagram of the segmentation applied to the campaign.
  •  Results - Produces a campaign-specific Real Time Report. 
  • Change History - All campaign activity and changes made by users are tracked.

*These tabs are only available for active campaigns.

You can see the details for other campaigns by clicking the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom left of the screen. You can also Build, Requeue, Play, and Stop campaigns from the Campaign Details screen with the respective buttons at the bottom right. Any changes to the campaign settings can be applied by clicking the Save button at the bottom right of the screen.
