Place an outbound preview call

In preview dialing mode, the system presents information about a contact to you before it dials the number. After reviewing information about a contact, you can dial the contact’s number, or skip to the next contact. Once connected, handle the interaction in accordance with the script.

To place an outbound preview call:

  1. From the Status list, select On Queue. When you receive a routed preview screen pop, the script displays information about a contact.

  2. After previewing the information displayed, click Begin Call. The system dials the contact’s telephone number for you. The status of the calling attempt changes from Contacting to Interacting. When the remote party answers, status changes to Connected.
