Outbound Campaigns let your AI agents place calls instead of just answering them. Upload a contact list, assign an agent, set a calling schedule, and launch — the platform dials contacts automatically from the agent’s own phone numbers, runs each conversation through your agent, and reports every outcome in real time. Campaigns live in Studio → Manage → Campaigns. You can also find them from anywhere with Quick Search (Command/Ctrl + K) — search for “Campaigns” or “dialer”.

Key Concepts

​
How a Campaign Works

1

Set up

Assign an AI agent, check the phone numbers it will call from, and tune dialing behavior (concurrency, retries, voicemail handling) on the Setup tab.
2

Schedule

Pick a timezone and weekly calling windows on the Schedule tab. Legal dialing hours are enforced automatically.
3

Upload contacts

Import up to 100,000 contacts per CSV on the Contacts tab, including TCPA consent fields and custom columns.
4

Launch

Confirm the compliance attestation and launch. Dialing starts immediately if you are inside the schedule window, or queues until the window opens.
5

Monitor

Watch dials, connects, voicemails, and problems live on the Live Monitoring tab, drill into any contact’s dial history, and review completed runs on the Runs tab.
The campaign editor walks you through the three setup tabs (Setup → Schedule → Contacts) with per-step completion checkmarks and Back/Next navigation, so you always know what is left before launch.

​
Campaign Statuses

When a campaign is Paused, the status badge tooltip tells you why:
  • Manual — you paused it; press Resume when ready.
  • Schedule window — it is outside the calling window and will resume automatically (the Resume button is hidden because no action is needed).
  • Insufficient balance — the wallet cannot cover further dialing. A Manage billing shortcut appears in the header; add funds, then press Resume — it doesn’t restart on its own, and Resume is refused while the balance is still short. With auto top-up on and working, the dialer tops up the wallet and keeps going instead of pausing; with it off, or suspended, the run pauses.
Setup, Schedule, and Contacts are locked while a campaign is actively running. The agent’s phone numbers aren’t: assigning or removing one takes effect on the next dial, even mid-run. Voice campaigns become editable again once the run is Stopped or Completed — relaunching then creates a fresh run.

​
What Campaigns Cost

  • Campaign calls are billed at your plan’s per-minute voice rate, like any other call.
  • When DNC scrubbing is enabled (the default), each contact is charged a compliance-check fee — $0.10 per contact per run by default. A cost preview is shown before you enable it. See Compliance & DNC.
  • If your wallet balance runs low mid-run and auto top-up can’t cover it (it’s off or suspended), the campaign pauses instead of failing calls. Add funds, then press Resume.
  • A call already in progress is charged minute by minute, and it ends at the next minute if the balance can’t cover it. See Charges while a call is live.
