Managing Dialer Campaigns

Run outbound campaigns3 min readUpdated 2026-03-14

Once a campaign is live, you can monitor progress, pause and resume dialing, review contact statuses, and end campaigns. This guide covers campaign lifecycle management.


Campaign Statuses

StatusMeaning
DraftCampaign created but not yet started.
ActiveCampaign is running. Agents are dialing or available to dial.
PausedCampaign temporarily stopped. Can be resumed.
CompletedAll contacts in the list have been dialed.
EndedCampaign manually stopped before all contacts were dialed.

Viewing Campaigns

Go to Sales Dialer > Campaigns. You will see all campaigns with their status, dialer type, total contacts, contacts dialed, and date created. Use filters to narrow by status or dialer type.

Pausing a Campaign

  1. Open the active campaign.
  2. Click Pause Campaign.
  3. All agents stop receiving new calls. Any in-progress call completes normally.
  4. The campaign moves to "Paused" status.

Use pause when you need agents for other tasks, want to adjust settings, or are outside calling hours.

Resuming a Campaign

  1. Open the paused campaign.
  2. Click Resume Campaign.
  3. Dialing picks up where it left off. Contacts already dialed are not called again (unless reattempt rules trigger).

Ending a Campaign

  1. Open the campaign.
  2. Click End Campaign.
  3. Confirm the action. Remaining un-dialed contacts will not be called.

Ended campaigns cannot be resumed. To call remaining contacts, create a new campaign.

Re-Running a Completed Campaign

Dialer TypeRe-run Available?
Power DialerYes
Dynamic DialerNo — create a new campaign instead
Predictive DialerYes

To re-run: open the completed campaign and click Re-run Campaign. The dialer re-dials all contacts in the original list.

Monitoring Contact Progress

Inside a campaign, the Contacts tab shows each contact's status:

  • Pending — Not yet dialed.
  • Dialed — Call attempted; see disposition for outcome.
  • Scheduled for Reattempt — Reattempt rule triggered; will be retried at the scheduled time.
  • Skipped — Contact skipped by agent or system (e.g., outside calling window).

Editing Campaign Settings

You can edit certain settings on paused campaigns:

  • Add or remove agents (Dynamic/Predictive).
  • Change caller ID or Local Presence settings.
  • Update voicemail drop messages.
  • Adjust reattempt rules.

Contact lists cannot be edited on Power or Predictive campaigns after launch. Dynamic Dialer campaigns allow adding contacts at any time.
