Progressive Dialing

How progressive dialer works

2025-05-03_16-37

Progressive dialing mode operates in the following way:

  • A new campaign call starts ringing to a contact on the record list in the campaign;
  • Once the call gets connected to the contact, they are placed on a brief hold after 2 seconds, and the call starts ringing to an available Agent listed in the outbound campaign, if this agent is currently online & available, with the webphone enabled;
  • The Agent is shown the information about the call and decides whether to join the call or not:

    • if the Agent accepts, they are added to the call, with the contact already on the line;
    • if the Agent declines, the call will be transferred to the next available Agent.

To avoid playing the message 'This call may be recorded for quality assurance,' make sure you changed the default notification about the incoming call being recorded to a silent one for the business number(s) included in the campaign(s) – or disabled the recording for your incoming calls:

You can adjust it along with other call recording settings in your Numbers section.

Auto answer

To speed up the calling process and avoid placing the called contacts on hold, during which they are hearing the default hold music, you can enable the Auto Answer feature. 

With the enabled Auto Answer, the call will be automatically accepted by the Agent within the specified time, they won't have to click on the button manually.

Timing settings

2025-05-03_17-05

The progressive mode has the following campaign call settings:

  • Ringing agent time: The time period (15-120 seconds) during which the campaign call will ring to the Agent, with the contact already on the line.

Important: Ringing agent time will override the webphone timeout settings in the Agent’s profile.

  • Wrap-up time: the time (5-120 seconds) during which the Agent does the wrap-up for the campaign call: for example, selects the agent disposition, leaves notes, etc. During this time, the Agent is considered busy and will not receive any incoming calls.
  • Max ring time: the time (15-60 seconds) during which the system will get the campaign call to ring before it moves on to the next record. 

Dialing attempts

2025-05-03_14-55

You can specify the following settings for repeated attempts to make campaign calls:

  • Default retry period: the minimum time before trying to call the same record again. Can be set at these limits: 15-59 seconds, 1-59 minutes, 1-23 hours, or 1-30 days.
  • Max attempts per number: the maximum number of times (1-20) the dialer will try to call a contact's number in this campaign. 

If a contact record includes 3 phone numbers, and we set up Max attempts per number = 3, the system will dial each number 3 times, totaling 9 calls.

System disposition

2025-05-03_17-09

You can configure how to automatically handle the campaign calls that didn't connect. There is a list of pre-defined call outcomes:

  • Contact busy: the contact declined the call or was on another call;
  • Contact no response: the contact did not answer the call within the Max ring time;
  • Contact abandoned: the contact disconnected the call when it was ringing to the Agent;
  • Invalid number: the call rang to an incorrect phone number;
  • Answering machine: with the enabled Answering machine detection feature, the system will be able to detect if a call went to the voicemail, and you will be able to specify how to handle such calls.

Agent disposition

2025-05-03_16-22

You can add, modify and configure the call outcomes that your Agents can select in the webphone during the wrap-up period, after completing a campaign call

IMPORTANT: Make sure you've toggled on the agent dispositions you'd like to use before running a campaign! Otherwise, they won't be showing up for your Agents.

You can have up to 30 agent dispositions in total on your MightyCall account. Each call outcome: 

  • can be enabled/disabled for the campaign using the corresponding toggle;
  • can be renamed;
  • can have Retry or Final options applied, similar to system dispositions;
  • can have custom retry logic similar to system dispositions.

The set of available agent dispositions is shared across all outbound campaigns. Renaming an agent disposition within one campaign changes its name across all other campaigns.

Once added, an agent disposition cannot be deleted.
