# How can I create a new outbound dialer campaign in MyOperator?

⚡Quick answer:
You can create two kinds of outbound campaigns—Peer to Peer (bridges answered calls to agents) and IVR/Broadcast (automated voice with optional keypad input). Use the steps below, plus CSV/API examples and test checks, to launch safely.

---

## Prerequisites

* Feature access: Outgoing calling is enabled on your account.
* Caller ID: Approved brand number (CLI) to present on calls.
* Contacts & consent: Clean list (E.164 numbers) and opt-in compliant for your region; define quiet hours.
* Agents (for Peer to Peer-Connect): Logged in, available, with mic/headset permissions.
* Audio (for Broadcast): Final MP3/WAV or text for TTS; any IVR key mappings decided.

## Option A — Agent-Connect (list-based, live agent)

What it does: Dials contacts from a list and bridges answered calls to available agents.

### Create the campaign (UI)

1. Call → Outgoing → Campaigns → Create New.

Alt text: Creating an outbound campaign

1. Choose Peer to peer connect.
1. Enter Campaign Name and Caller ID.
1. Upload CSV or pick a saved list/CRM segment.
1. Select Dialing mode (preview/progressive), Max concurrency, and Wrap-up time.
1. Assign Team/Agents and set Schedule (days, start/end in IST).
1. Enable Recording (if permitted) and Retries (attempts + spacing).
1. Save → Start (or Start in test mode if available).

Expected outcome: Answered calls connect Agent ↔ Customer; dispositions and recordings appear in Call Logs → Outbound and campaign analytics.

## Option B — IVR / Voice Broadcast (automated)

What it does: Places automated calls to play a message and optionally capture keypad input (e.g., “Press 1 to confirm”).

### Create the campaign (UI)

1. Call → Outgoing → Campaigns → Create New.
1. Choose IVR-based.
1. Add Audio (upload MP3/WAV) or Text-to-Speech.
1. (Optional) Configure IVR keys (e.g., 1=Confirm, 2=Call-me-back/route to queue).
1. Upload CSV or select a saved list; set Concurrency and Retries.
1. Choose Caller ID, Schedule (days/hours, time zone).
1. Save → Start (Test 10 numbers first).

Expected outcome: Calls play the message; DTMF responses are logged. If a key routes to agents, successful presses queue a live call.

---

## Test & verify results

* Dry run: Start with 5–10 contacts.
* Logs: Check Call Logs → Outbound for status, duration, Caller ID, and Recording.
* Campaign analytics: Verify Answer Rate (ASR), DTMF key rates (broadcast), Agent connect rate (Peer to peer-Connect).
* Quality: Listen to a few recordings for audio clarity and IVR timing.

---

## Edge cases & best practices

* Caller ID: Test CLI deliverability; some routes mask or reject unapproved IDs.
* Concurrency tuning: Start small; increase based on answer rate and agent availability.
* Retries: Cap attempts (e.g., max 2) and space them to avoid spam flags.
* Agent readiness: For Peer to Peer-Connect, ensure queues/agents are online to reduce drop rates.
* International lists: Verify permissions and pricing before enabling.

## Can I reuse my inbound IVR for outbound (OBD) campaigns in MyOperator?

No. Inbound IVRs can’t be attached to OBD campaigns. Create a dedicated OBD IVR (outbound-only), but feel free to reuse the same audio or TTS prompts.

## Why inbound IVRs can’t be reused

| Reason | Inbound IVR | OBD IVR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Call direction | Customer → Business | Business → Customer |
| Start event | Ring → answer → IVR | Auto-dial → answer → IVR |
| Retry logic | n/a | Controlled by campaign (attempts, spacing) |
| Reporting | Queue paths, SLA | Answer %, DTMF %, retries |

---

## How many campaigns can we create in one panel?

We can create up to 20 campaigns in one panel.

---

## Are calls made through a Peer-to-Peer outbound campaign recorded, and where can I find those recordings?

Yes. A Peer-to-Peer campaign simply auto-initiates outgoing calls, so each call is recorded the same way as a regular outbound call. You can listen to or download the recordings in the Logs section of your dashboard.

---

## Troubleshooting

* Low answer rate: Adjust schedule, verify list quality, test different caller IDs, reduce concurrency.
* Agents not getting bridged: Check team assignment, agent status, and wrap-up timers.
* No recordings: Confirm outgoing recording is enabled and storage is sufficient.
* Webhooks failing: Validate endpoint/TLS/signature; replay payloads.
* “Create New” disabled: You may lack permissions, or Outgoing isn’t enabled—contact your admin.
