Power & Preview Dialing
Two modes that hand the tempo to the rep. Preview puts the record on screen first and waits for someone to press dial. Power opens lines the moment a rep is free. You pick one per campaign, not one for the whole floor.

How it works.
Preview waits for the rep
The contact opens before anything is dialled and the rep decides when. A review timer runs, thirty seconds by default, and you choose whether running out skips to the next record or simply leaves the rep on the screen.
Power dials on readiness
Power moves the decision from the rep to availability. Lines open per available agent, anywhere from one to five, so a rep who finishes a call finds the next one already going out.
The mode belongs to the campaign
A complex list and a cold list can run different tempos on the same floor on the same day. Switching a campaign's mode resets that mode's settings to their defaults rather than carrying the previous mode's numbers across.
Every contact holds its position
Attempts, last attempt, next attempt and a priority sit on each contact in the campaign. A record parked for later comes back in that order, so running a list slowly does not mean losing your place in it.
One moment in every call.
Every call passes through the same seven. Power & Preview Dialing is the lit one, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.
- 01Number
the line it arrives on or leaves from
- 02Route
where the call is sent and to whom
- 03Dial
placing it, and how many at once
- 04Connect
the moment a person picks up
- 05Talk
while the conversation is happening
- 06Wrap
the code, the notes, the next step
- 07Record
what is kept, and where it is kept
The specifics.
8 facts- Scope
- Set per campaign, on outbound and blended campaigns
- Preview
- Record opens first; review timer 5 to 600 seconds, 30 by default
- Auto-skip
- Optional on preview timeout, off by default
- Power
- Lines per available agent, seven settings from 1 to 5, 1.5 by default
- Autodial
- The middle setting: next record dials after wrap-up, 0 to 120 seconds
- Switching
- Changing mode resets that mode's settings to defaults, not the old values
- List state
- Attempts, last attempt, next attempt and priority held per contact
- Taking effect
- From the next record offered, so changing the tempo mid-shift never disturbs a call already up
Where the call goes next.
A call is a chain of decisions, and this is one link in it. These are the ones either side.

20 capabilitiesFlows, queues, oversight and compliance screening on media we operate.
Thirty-nine nodes across nine categories. Drag them onto the canvas, connect the branches, and dry-run the whole path before you publish it.
Three states of one connection. Hear the call, coach the rep without the customer knowing, or join outright - and the audio path redraws as you switch.
Detection listens to the first moments of a connect and drops greetings, dead air and IVR trees. What lands in a headset is a person who said hello.
Build the menu callers hear as a step in the flow, with fifteen starting templates from a plain auto-attendant to compliance-screened inbound.
Welcome audio, hold music, periodic announcements and four separate overflow destinations, so a queue never simply runs out of places to send a call.
Ring all, hunt, fewest calls, random, round robin with memory, or strict priority order. Change how a queue behaves without rebuilding it.
Match a caller to the agents who can actually help, on all, any or weighted skill matching, with a failover destination when nobody qualifies.
Offer a callback after a wait threshold or a queue position, hold the caller's place, and dedupe requests so nobody gets rung twice for one problem.
Flag a lead VIP and they skip the welcome, bypass the queue cap and reach an agent first - with ageing, so that ordinary callers never starve behind them.
Hand a call over cold, or consult first and then connect. Merge into a three-way and step out, leaving the other two talking without a drop.
Each side of the call is recorded on its own channel, so who said what is a fact rather than a guess - and the transcript inherits that separation.
Search live carrier inventory, filter by country or by digits the number ends with, and claim it to a flow or a person the moment it is yours.
Toll-free sits beside local as a first-class number type, routed by the same flows and billed from the same wallet as everything else you own.
Numbers in the countries you operate in, drawn from four carrier providers, so opening a new market is a purchase rather than a procurement project.
Every rep gets an extension and a browser phone, and can move a call between the browser and a desk phone mid-conversation without dropping it.
Organisation, team and personal mailboxes with their own access rules and greetings, and every message transcribed and attached to the right record.
Reusable weekly schedules and holiday calendars in your own timezone, so out-of-hours routing is a setting rather than a flow you rebuild each December.
Every call in progress on one screen, pushed as it changes rather than polled, with the agent, the number presented and the queue each one came through.
Two-way texting from the same numbers you call on, threaded per contact and landing on the same record, so the text and the call are one conversation.
Upload a recording, record one in the browser, or generate it from text in a chosen brand voice - then use it in any flow, queue or mailbox.
The rest of the platform.
Five more categories, all on the same record and the same bill. Each card names three of its capabilities, so you can tell from here whether it is worth opening.
