Overview
The Preview Dial Method allows your Agents to read over the Lead information before the call is placed. It is also called Click-to-Comply, as the settings allow the Agent to click a button to initiate the call, and auto-dial can be disabled completely. Several options in Preview Dialing can be used, like an automatic timer that places the call or the ability to skip Leads. Here, we will show you how to configure your Preview Dial Campaign.
