This tutorial will be about how to setup CID local presence also known as AC-CID for a campaign.
What is CID local presence?
This allows you the ability to set custom caller ID numbers per campaign for outbound calls by area code. This can be set to have a single or multiple CID for every areacode.
Let’s get started.
- First, make sure you have all the phone numbers you want to use as your CID ready. Note: You can choose your CID from our website: https://numbersearch.etollfree.net/order.html Or, reach out to support, for a discounted bulk price.
- Now, before anything else, you need to set up your campaign to local presence or AC CID.
- Go to the Vicidial dashboard.
- Then, Campaigns and Campaigns Main.
- Click Modify.
- Then, under Custom CallerID choose “AreaCode”.
- Then, submit.
3. Now we are ready to add the CIDs.
-
- Still on your campaign’s detail view, go to AC-CID.
- Unlike in eDialer interface, Vicidial interface only has a one-by-one CID upload. To do this just add your 3 digit area code.
- Then, the CID assigned for the area code.
- You can leave the description blank or add notes, then add.
- Do this for the rest of the CID you want to add.
- When done, check the active box one by one to activate the CIDs.
- Then, click submit.
You’re all set!
