Introduction

This article descrives Webex Contact Center's Campaign Manager Configurations. It depends on how voice campaigns are set up at your enterprise, you either initiate outdial campaign calls yourself or the system initiates outdial calls for you. In a Preview Campaign, you request an outdial contact card from Webex Contact Center when you are in an Idle state. When you accept the contact card, Webex Contact Center places the outbound call. If the contact center has communicated previously with the person you are calling, a history of those calls appears in the right panel of the Agent Desktop. In a Progressive Campaign, anytime you are in the Available state, the system pushes an outdial call to you. If the contact center has communicated previously with the person you are calling, a history of those calls appears in the right panel of the Agent Desktop.
