Building one
1
Define the goal
One outcome per campaign — book a service visit, recover an unsold quote, sell a maintenance plan. A campaign with two goals converts on neither, because the message can’t be sharp about either.
2
Select the audience
Filter contacts by tag, source, status, or custom field. Tighter is better: a hundred well-chosen contacts outperform a thousand vaguely relevant ones, and cost less.
3
Choose the agent
The agent that will make the calls. Its knowledge applies as normal, so it can answer questions and book on the spot rather than promising a callback.
4
Attach a sequence
The steps that run per contact — calls, texts, emails, voicemail drops, and the waits between. See Sequences.
5
Set the schedule
When the campaign may contact people. Respect the contact’s local time, not yours.
6
Test on a handful
Run ten contacts, ideally including your own number. Listen to a call and read a text before you release the rest.
Pacing
Don’t launch a thousand calls at once. It floods your team with callbacks, concentrates any configuration mistake across your whole list, and looks like exactly what regulators watch for.Monitoring
A campaign shows progress through its contact list, per-step outcomes, and the calls and conversations it generated. Watch the first hours closely:Pause a campaign at any time. Contacts mid-sequence hold where they are and resume when you restart it.
