How to Change Outbound Caller ID for Agents
Intro to outbound dialing for agents in RingCX
Outbound dialing refers to any call you place to a customer or lead from RingCX. Depending on your permissions and dial group, you can make outbound calls manually, fetch and click to dial leads, or the system will dial numbers for you.
During an outbound call, you can read from a script (if available), take notes, transfer the call, and submit a disposition.
Note:
- Before you can place outbound calls, your admin must turn on outbound calling permissions for your account and assign you to at least one dial group.
- You can be assigned to multiple dial groups, but you can only log in to one dial group at a time.
