Configure Scripts for a User

Begin by clicking the list icon that says Edit Script Setup when hovered.

The dialer has support for agent calling scripts. The default script can be configured to appear on screen when a contact is found or when the agent manually presses the Script icon under the disposition bar. Press the Star icon in the Script list to the left to set it as default.

Merging scripts with information about the contact is possible by using the #{<Database Field Name>} within the content of the script. For example, if the script should start out as ‘Hello Matt, this is John Smith from HelloHunter...’ and the database field name to replace is Name (case sensitive) ‘Hello #{Name}, this is John Smith from HelloHunter...’ should be placed in the content.

Phonebook entries can be added for either a standard telephone number (PSTN) or to a VoIP Address (SIP Address) using the add entry button. SIP Addresses should be entered into the format <extn>@<server>:<port> (ex. 106@ast.myco.com:5060). Phonebooks are unique PER user.

Admin Configurations

Manage Do Not Call list

Click the Manage Do Not Call List button under the setup panel. You can either upload a DNC list in .CSV format or manually enter in the textbox. Click Add to DNC button to save phone numbers.

Contacts need to be in a CSV format. Our systems do not support other types of contact files. We recommend using Excel to save the contact file as a CSV file.

Please ensure that you have the word “Phone” as name of the field that contains numbers. This is very important. Please do not use PHONE or any other variant. It is required to be Phone ( A capital P followed by lower case one) and specifying this differently will lead to upload errors.

To upload a group of numbers from a pre created CSV file click browse on the Manage Do Not call list Interface. Locate the your CSV file and then click upload. Click OK to the notification and then click Done to close the interface. You will receive an email with details of the import once complete. Please review this and should you have any issues please contact support@hellohunter.com.

To upload individual numbers to the DNC list add them into the text box in the Manage Do Not Call List interface, using one line for one number. Click Add to DNC. Click OK to acknowledge any notifications and click Done.

Note

If your contacts file is in Excel format, re-save it by clicking the File menu then click “Save As” and then choose CSV format.

Setup Database Fields

Setup the fields that will be used in the systems database to store your contact list by clicking the Setup Database Fields button under the setup panel. By default there is only one field present on the system. This is the phone field that is used to store the your contacts telephone number. You should create additional database fields to store information about the contact such as name, address, company etc. The information will be displayed on the agent’s screen when they have a call connected to them. These fields are specified per account and cannot be changed from campaign to campaign.

Below, you will see the interface for customising your database. Type a new name into the name box and click add field. Repeat this process until you have all the fields you require.

Our predictive dialer can easily to be configured to accept inbound calls from any DID that you correctly map to our servers.

It is up to you whether you want to create a campaign for only agents taking inbound calls or you can blend inbound calls with outbound calls coming via a predictive campaign. Begin by clicking the Setup Inbound DIDs button under the Setup panel. Provide a number, description and to what campaign to send.
