InteliWISE DIALER – What if you need an outbound campaign?

There are many situations where your customers call with questions, problems, or tasks, and where your voicebot can be helpful. However, there may be situations where your company needs to call its customers and you want a voicebot to do this task. You want to create an outbound campaign.

This is possible with InteliWISE Dialer.

Once you have created your voicebot, you can assign it the phone number. (There are several ways to do it described in the first part of this section.)

Go to the Projects page, where you will see the list of your projects. In our exercise, you may edit your voicebot project and click on the Assign phone number button. You choose the number from the available ones. However, if you need a phone number in the locations not listed, contact us using the chatbot available at my.inteliwise.com.

To be able to set up a Dialer, you need to have a proper amount of funds on your account. You can check the status of your funds in your profile settings (upper right corner).

The InteliWISE Dialer allows you to configure your campaign.

You may choose the days, hours, and phone numbers of the customers to whom the campaign is dedicated.

The picture above shows an example useful for the exercise, when you want to test the Dialer on couple of numbers at a chosen hour. A real campaign is usually set up for several days a week during working hours. It can run even 7 days a week. For example, it can be set up from 8am to 4pm on Mon-Fri, and from 10am to 2pm on weekends.
