Overview
Auto Lead Recycle is a feature that automatically redials leads with specific statuses without having to reset your lists. Workflow Lead Recycle is an advanced form of Standard Lead Recycle.
With Workflow Lead Recycle, we can now set up multiple Delay Attempts per Call Count on each selected status. We can place a shorter Delay on Leads with fewer Call Counts and longer Delay periods for Leads that were called many times, giving us more control over the timing for auto-recycling Leads.

Why does this matter?
Standard Lead Recycling will attempt calls again if you reset after the Delay is over, up to the Maximum Attempt Amount. It will remove the virtual Call Counts, but it will not remove the Leads under Attempts Seconds Delay under Lead Summary. The system still needs to wait to reach the Attempt Seconds Delay to dial again.
Workflow-based Lead Recycling will behave according to the Workflow, and resetting has no effect on which Workflow step is used - if you want to dial more than the maximum on the Workflow steps, you must add new Workflow steps (Call Count).

Resetting a List will impact Workflows set to Since Last Reset in the Call Count Type setting.

Setting up Campaign Workflow-Based Dialing
1.) Click the Call Center main menu.
2.) Click the Campaigns menu option.
The Show Campaigns page will open.

5.) Under Dialable Statuses, there are Standard and Workflow dialing buttons. Click Workflow.
Note: Activating Workflow mode will automatically deactivate Standard mode. The highlighted mode, or in green color, is the one that is currently activated.
6.) Configure the Call Count Type:
-
Actual:
The system will dial Leads based on the true number of times they have been called in the past. -
Since Last Reset:
The system will dial Leads based on the number of calls since the last time the List was reset.
7.) Click the green + Add Dialable Disposition button to add a Disposition.
A new entry will appear under the Dialable Disposition section.
8.) Configure your new Dialable Status.
- (A) Dialable Status: The drop-down in this column is for assigning your Dialable Status or Dispositions.
-
(B) Attempt Second Delay: The fields in this column are for filling in the delays between your call counts.
- Call Count: Identifies the start and end call attempts for each delay.
-
Delay Attempt: Defines the delay between call counts in Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds.
- For example: Pictured above, between the first and second call attempt is a ten-minute delay.
- (C) Hopper Priority: (Optional) This drop-down allows you to designate a Hopper Priority rating for each of your Call Count ranges.
- (D) Plus and Minus signs: These buttons allow you to add and remove Call Count ranges.
-
(F) Action: This column contains a gear-wheel drop-down.
- Clone: Allows you to clone Dial-able Dispositions to use as a base for new Dispositions.
- Delete: Removes the Dial-able Disposition.
9.) Use the + Add Dialable Dispositions green button to add more Dispositions as needed. Alternatively, Clone your existing Dispositions using the Clone Dial-able Dispositions drop-down and Clone button.
10.) Once all of your Dispositions are configured, scroll down and click the blue Apply Changes button.
- When changing from Actual to Since Last Reset, a warning will appear to inform that Call Counts set to 1 must be changed to 0 to accommodate the change.
-
- Update Call Count Values and Save: Click this button to have the system update all the Call Counts and Save the change in Call Count Type.
- Save Without Updating: Click this button to leave the Call Counts the same and Save the change in Call Count Type.
Dispositions with Required Delay
A selection of System Statuses/Dispositions, CG (Congested), DC (Disconnected), and OI (Operator Intercept), have mandatory delay periods between each Call Count.
These delay periods ensure system stability and apply to all outbound calls with these Dispositions.
When a New Dial-able Disposition is added with any of these Statuses, the system will ensure each Call Count range follows these requirements:
- Congestion - minimum 1-hour delay.
- Disconnected Number - minimum of 15-day delay.
- Operator Intercept - minimum of 1-hour delay.
Admins can add more time to these delays; however, if they try to shorten the delay, they will receive an error, or the Disposition will correct itself.
- See Congestion, Disconnected Number, & Operator Intercept Dialing Update to learn more about these Dispositions.
