Prerequisites before the Campaign Dialer can be started

• All Campaign Dialer settings must be configured, see: Installing Campaign Dialer

Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location. setting EnableOutboundDialer to true. (This setting is used to stop and start the campaign)

• The UCC must be operating in business hours.

Check the address off the invite. Decline = The customer declined the call MarkedCallAsVoicemail, the agent marked that the call went to voicemail
Retries	Retries field contains the number of retries. This depends on the settings OutboundDialerDeclineRetry and OutboundDialerDeclineRetryTime. If the maximum retry count is reached, the record field Processed is set to Yes.
Voicemail Message	Enter the Text-to-Speech message you wish to play to the customer when agent hears the call going into the voicemail box. If configured the agent will be disconnected from the call after pressing the * key and campaign dialer will process the further steps of this call.
Voicemail Audio Message	Select from dropdown menu the audiofile you wish to play to the customer when agent hears the call going into the voicemail box. If configured the agent will be disconnected from the call after pressing the * key and campaign dialer will process the further steps of this call. Warning: Voicemail Audio Message' in combination with a high volume of Campaign Dialer sessions may delay the processing time, especially with larger audio files. Please consider reducing the number of entrees or using smaller audio files to avoid delays.

Create Campaign Dialer list item

1. Navigate to the UCCsettingsite
2. Open the OutboundDialer list
3. Open the tab 'Items'
4. Open the drop down under 'New'
5. Select new 'OutboundDialerItem'

Reschedule because of reaching a voicemail box (Press the * key)

When the agent accepts a campaign dialer call, a message will be played to the agent (from UCC setting "CallbackPressKeyOnVoicemailTextToSpeech"). If the established call ends up in a customers voicemail box, the agent can press the * key. Several things will then happen:

• The call will be marked as "MarkedCallAsVoicemail" in the active SharePoint OutboundDialerCalls list. (The CDR database, for reporting and timeline, will mark the call as accepted because technically it has been accepted.)
• The agent will then hear a message of the UCC setting CallbackRetryScheduledTextToSpeech, the dialogue is rescheduled and the agent gets disconnected. Unless the retry threshold has been reached set by UCC setting OutboundDialerDeclineRetry, Then the agent will be disconnected immediately.

Optionally

• If the list item VoicemailMessage is set in the OutboundDialerCalls list, this additional VoicemailMessage is played to the customers voicemail box and the call will subsequently be disconnected by the Dialer.

Behavior

The invite is successfully processed if the agent and the customer (Invite) both picked up the call. In that case, the Agent Sip contains the agent which was in the call. The result field contains the result of the most recent attempt. The following results can be reported:

• Answered, both the Agent and Customer were successfully connected.
• Request Terminated, the agent declined the call.
• NoAnswer, Agent did pickup the hunted call, but the customer did not.
• Temporary unavailable,the customer can not be reached. Check the address off the invite.
• Decline, the customer declined the call
• MarkedCallAsVoicemail, the agent marked that the call went to voicemail
