Contact Centre Feature

Agent Dialer (Progressive & Power)

The agent dialer is an outbound campaign mode that connects answered calls to live agents. It dials your lead list, and when someone picks up the call is bridged to a free agent on the contact centre queue you choose. Pacing is 1.0 line per free agent (progressive) or 1.5 or 2.0 (power). It is not a predictive dialer.

What Agent Dialer gives you

An outbound campaign that dials your leads and bridges each answered call to a free agent, paced at 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 lines per free agent.

Agents only talk to people who answered

Ringing, busy and unanswered calls are handled by the dialer, so agent time goes to live conversations.

Pacing you control

1.0 line per free agent never dials more calls than there are free agents. 1.5 or 2.0 dials ahead for lists with low answer rates.

Leads in by CSV or API

Upload a list, or push new leads into a running campaign through the API.

Guardrails built in

Dialing hours (09:00 to 21:00 IST by default), DNC suppression, answering-machine detection, recording, and caller ID with a backup caller ID.

Outcomes back to your CRM

call.answered, call.completed, disposition.submitted and recording.ready webhooks carry your lead ID.

How Agent Dialer works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Create a campaign in voice-app.edesy.in, choose agent dialer mode and pick the contact centre queue.

  2. 2

    Upload leads by CSV, or add them through the API.

  3. 3

    Set pacing (1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 lines per free agent), max concurrent calls and dialing hours.

  4. 4

    The dialer places calls as agents become free; answered calls are bridged to an agent on the queue.

  5. 5

    The agent works the call and submits a disposition, which is sent to your webhook.

What Agent Dialer does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • This is a progressive and power dialer, not a predictive dialer. Pacing is a fixed ratio you choose; there is no statistical model of answer rates or agent availability.
  • At 1.5 or 2.0, more people can answer than there are free agents. A lead that answers but is not reached by an agent goes back into the retry pool.
  • Outbound calling in India is regulated. Consent, content and calling-hour obligations are yours to meet; the dialer enforces the hours and DNC list you configure.

Common uses

  • Inside sales and tele-sales

  • Lead qualification

  • Collections and EMI follow-up

  • Renewal and win-back calls
