Setting Up 2–3 Phone Number Dialing in eDialer

Watch the video tutorial ▶

Follow the steps below to configure auto alt dial so your eDialer campaign
automatically calls a lead’s second or third phone number when the first
number reaches a specified call status.

Step 1 – Configure the Alt Phone Status

First, set up the alt phone status for your campaign so the dialer knows
which call dispositions should trigger a call to the next number.

  1. Log in to your eDialer administration dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Auto Alt Dial.
  3. Click Modify next to the campaign you want to update.
  4. The default statuses shown — B, N,
    NA, and DC — are pre-loaded in eDialer.
    If a dialed number is dispositioned with any of these statuses, the
    system will automatically proceed to the next number.
  5. To add more trigger statuses, select them from the drop-down box and
    click Add.

    How it works: If the 1st dialed number is dispositioned
    with any status listed here, the dialer will call the 2nd number. The
    same rule then applies before the dialer calls the 3rd number. If the
    1st number receives any other call status not listed, the
    dialer will skip the 2nd and 3rd numbers and move on to the next lead.

Step 2 – Enable ALT and Address 3 Dialing

  1. Once you have added the desired dial statuses in Auto Alt Dial, click
    Detail Menu at the top of the page.
  2. Scroll down and locate Additional Dial Settings.
  3. From the drop-down box, select ALT and
    ADDR3 (Address 3).
  4. Click Save Changes.
