What is an IVR Campaign?
In an IVR campaign, the dialer generates calls to contacts from a list and forward the call to an IVR only when the contact answers the call.
This type of campaign is usually used for surveys and does not depend on any queue status or availability of agent in a queue.
The Dialer originates calls and waits for the contact to answer for a predefined Originate Timeout [secs].
If the contact answers before the timeout expires, the call is forwarded to the IVR project (see Cally Square for more information about IVR Projects); otherwise the call originate status will be set to No Answer.
You can find the IVR Campaign section under the XCALLY Motion Bull menu:
IVR Campaign in 8 steps
1️⃣ Create a Trunk
Section Tools → Trunks
Trunk is a SIP connection between your Contact Center (XCALLY Motion server) and a VOIP provider. Your VOIP service provider will provide you information like Trunk Username, Password and Domain to register XCALLY to their trunking systemXCALLY Motion Dialer generates calls through a trunk to the VOIP provider that routes the calls to the called contactsindividuals.
2️⃣ Create an Interval
Section Tools → Intervals
Define when your IVR Campaign will run.
The time interval defines the time and day during which the dialer is allowed to perform outbound calls. You can create multiple sub-intervals to manage calls on different time, day or month intervals (Time intervals will work only if they are in inside the range defined as Global Interval of the Campaign).
Clicking on 3 dots of a created interval you can Edit Interval defining time range:

When you add a list in a queue campaignthe campaign, all contacts in the list are placed in the Hopper and the Hopper and will be called by the dialer.
You can add multiple contact lists to a IVR campaign.
If you remove a list from a campaign and add it again:
only open contacts are placed in the Hopper and will be dialed by the dialer.
closed contacts (contacts that are already in the Hopper Final) will not be placed in the Hopper and will not be dialed by the dialer.
You can also add a Blacklist: the Dialer won't call the blacklisted contacts.
If you have list of contacts you want to exclude from the queue IVR campaign, you can add it as blacklist and the dialer will skip these contacts during the automatic dialing. The (black)List must be already available. You can add multiple blacklists for a queue campaign and use different blacklists blacklist for different queue IVR campaigns.
