Campaigns

Campaigns automate outbound calling at scale. Each phone number you supply becomes an individual task that your agent will dial.

Overview

  • What it is? A campaign is a set of call tasks generated from your contact list.

  • What it does? Creates tasks, places calls, retries when needed, and records outcomes.

  • What you configure? Who to call, when to call, retry rules, and priority.

Campaign types

Choose a type based on how your contact list is structured.

Batch

Realtime

Upload a CSV of contacts and launch all calls in one go. Best for static, pre-assembled lists.

Push contacts one-by-one via API as they arrive. Best for live lead streams or instant follow-up triggers.


Guide for Batch Campaigns

Use when you have a static list of numbers to call. For example, a list of leads along with their contact details in a .csv file.

How to create Batch Campaigns?

  1. Go to Campaigns → Batch and click + Create Campaign followed by Batch .

  2. Fill out the Basics:-

    Field

    Purpose

    Name

    Internal label (e.g., Abandoned Cart Recovery 12 Jan)

    Agent

    Which AI agent will place the calls

    Calling Number

    Caller ID shown to recipients

    Priority

    Normal (default) or Low ,High

  3. Upload CSV (up to 5K rows).:
    • First column header must be phone and phone numbers must have respective country codes.
    • Provide context to agent in other columns as per your requirements and reference them in your prompt using column headers. (e.g., ${name}, ${orderId}).

  4. Time settings
    Timezone: Controls schedule & calling hours.
    Start Time: Start now or schedule to start later.
    End Time: Campaign stops and archives any pending tasks.
    Calling Hours: Daily calling window (e.g., 10:00–20:00). Calls pause outside this window.

  5. Retries (Follow-ups)
    Set the number of retries for the campaign. Each retry happens after the set interval from the last call within allowed hours.

  6. Slot Allocation
    A Slot is just a unit of concurrent calling capacity:
    One slot = One simultaneous call that your org/workspace can run at a time.

    So if your organisation has 6 total slots, across all workspaces, you can only have 6 calls in progress at the same time. The 7th call will have to wait until one of the running calls finishes.

    Select the number of slots you want to allocate to each campaign.
    Teams can divide their total calling capacity across multiple campaigns and run them in parallel depending upon the total number of slots you have for the organisation.

    Hard Slot

    Soft Slot

    A hard slot is a strict cap: if a workspace has 5 hard slots, it will never run more than 5 concurrent calls, even when other allocated slots become free and are available to use for calling.

    A Soft Slot is a temporary cap: Lets say, if a workspace has 5 slots allotted in the start, but eventually if 3 more slots get free from some other workspace, it will combine both of them and start using 8 slots to complete the tasks even faster.

  7. Follow up settings

    Setting

    Purpose

    Retries

    0 = single attempt. ≥1 = additional attempts allowed.

    Retry Interval

    Gap from the last attempt’s end‑time before the next retry.

    Retry Conditions

    Which call outcomes should be retried (see table below).

Every CSV row becomes a task with identical config (agent, caller ID, retry rules, etc.) only the callee’s number and context differs.

Guide for Realtime Campaigns

Ideal for on‑demand or event‑driven calls (e.g., instant lead follow‑up). Example use case:- A user fills a google form. Your AI agents then receives the information and calls the user back after a certain interval of time immediately.

How to Create Realtime Campaigns?

  1. Go to Campaigns → Realtime and click + Create Campaign followed by Realtime .

  2. Fill the Campaign Name, Select your Agent and Slot Limits.

  3. Click Create – this generates a Campaign ID and a sample JSON body for create task API input.

  4. Use the Create Task API to push tasks dynamically (check API reference)

{
  "phone": "+9189xxxxxxxx",      //phone number to call
  "from": "+9180xxxxxxxx",       //your agent's number
  "agent": "agent_id",
  "start": 1000,                 //10 AM
  "end": 1800,                   //06 PM
  "timezone": "Asia/Kolkata",
  "startAfter": 1748629800000,   //start time for 1st attempt
  "endAfter": 1748629800000,     //end time for this task
  "priorities": [                //attempt wise priority
    100,
    50,
  ],
  "retries": 2,                  //total attempts
  "intervals": [                 //gap between attempts
    180000
  ],
  "retryOutcomes": [             //outcomes for re-attempt
    "voicemail"
  ],
  "context": {                   //context for agent
    "name": "Tarun"
  },
  "campaign": "campaign_id"
}

JSON generated while creating a realtime campaign on dashboard is just a sample and can be changed at task level. Only campaign id and status are maintained at campaign level.

Batch vs Realtime campaigns

Aspect

Batch

Realtime

Campaign creation

CSV upload (bulk)

2 Steps:

  • Create campaign from dashboard

  • Create task one by one using API

Task config

Same for all rows, except phone and context

Only campaign id is same, rest of the config can vary per task (agent, caller ID, context)

Ideal for

Static lists

Continuous lead streams, immediate follow up post form fill on website

Understanding follow-up settings

Retry outcome options

Outcome(s)

Auto‑included?

Notes

no_answer ,busy ,failed ,init_failed

Yes

User did not pick or call could not be placed.

busy_callback

Yes (if agent uses this outcome)

User provides a specific time for callback.

voicemail

No

Voicemail detected.

no_response

No

Call connected but user silent.

Any custom outcome

No

Defined in call analysis.

Retry intervals

  • Next attempt time = last_attempt + retry_interval.

  • If that time falls outside Calling Hours, the attempt waits until the next window starts.

The interval array length in create task API is always retries - 1.

Priority system

Tasks follow a two-layer priority system —

  1. Between attempts (within a task).

  2. Between tasks (within a campaign or across campaigns).

Layer 1 — between attempts (within a task)

  • In batch campaigns, all first attempts fill the top priority list. Second attempts run only after all first attempts are done.

  • In realtime campaigns, you can set a custom priority strategy per task.

Layer 2 — between tasks and campaigns

  • High priority campaigns run ahead of Normal ones.

  • Within the same priority level, tasks are scheduled by their next eligible time.

  • If a contact requests a specific callback time, that task jumps to the front of the queue at that time.

For Example:

Your workspace has a concurrency limit (e.g., 5 simultaneous calls) and you upload 100 numbers in a batch campaign.

  • The system randomly selects five tasks for their first attempt (equal priority).

  • After any call ends, another first‑attempt task starts until all first attempts are done, then second attempts begin.

Callback override
If a user requests a specific callback time, that task becomes top priority at the scheduled moment, outranking all other tasks.


Campaign statuses

Campaigns display these statuses:

Status

Meaning

scheduled

Waiting for start time, all tasks in queue

running

Active calling, at least 1 task started

paused

Manually paused, at least 1 task in paused status

completed

All tasks completed or archived due to end time

archived

Manually archived

Campaign monitoring

Once a campaign is created, you can monitor all individual tasks within it. From the Campaigns page, clicking on a campaign opens the Task view, where each row corresponds to a task generated from your CSV (in batch campaigns) or API call (in realtime campaigns).

Calls

This tab displays a table listing all call attempts for the selected task.

Each row in the table includes:

  • Call ID

  • Start Time

  • Attempt number

  • Status

Clicking to expand any row opens full call details—just like the Call Logs page. This includes:

  • Call metadata (agent, from/to, timestamp, duration, provider, cost, etc.)

  • Audio recording and playback

  • Transcript of the conversation

  • Conversation analysis and outcome

Task details

This tab displays the configuration used for the task. It's helpful for:

  • Verifying what was submitted via CSV or API (context variables, retry intervals, max retries, retry conditions, etc.)

  • Troubleshooting call behavior (e.g., priority mismatch, retry delay)

Task statuses

Each task can be in one of several states:

Status

Meaning

queued

Task is waiting for its scheduled time

running

A call attempt is currently being made

completed

Task finished, either successfully or after all retries

paused

Task paused manually

archived

No further call attempts will be made, task archived manually or campaign end time crossed

Campaign-level controls

From the task monitoring screen, you can also:

  • Pause campaign – Marks all non-completed, non-running tasks as paused.

  • Resume campaign - Moves all paused tasks to queued.

  • Archive campaign – Marks all non-completed, non-running tasks as archived, ending the campaign permanently.

  • Update campaign – Adjust settings for non-completed, non-archived campaigns.
