Campaign Information

4. In the Campaign Settings section, input or select the following parameters accordingly.

ParametersDescription
Dialing modeChoose the dialing mode as preview or progressive. Progressive mode will automatically progress through the data, automatically dialling each record. Preview mode will display each record and allow the agent to decide whether to proceed with the call or not.
Max AttemptsTime a team member (agent) should be able to attempt to call the same account.
Retry AfterTime the system should wait until scheduling the next attempt to contact the account about a campaign. Specify the time of each call mode in Day, Hour, Minute or Month.
Fresh Data Bias
  • When scheduling the next calls in this campaign, prioritize retrying unsuccessful call attempts, or calls to new accounts that haven't been contacted yet by moving the scoller from left to right or vice-versa.
  • Important: Data bias is defaulted to 20% fresh data, but call center managers tend to change the data bias frequently. If it is made to have only retry calls (0% aur very less) then the agent would get demotivated and not make any calls in the future because retry callers get irritated easily. Hence, calling new donors would mean more donations.
Event Activity WindowFor how long after a call was made should Engage attribute events (e.g. making a donation, starting a sponsorship) to the call.
Who will be working on this campaign?The team that will be working on the campaign.
