I had customer ask me if its possible to dial leads that:

If live person picks up hang up.

If answering machine picks up leave message.

He wants to do afterhours calls to businesses.

Although AMD is not exactly reliable (80%?). It can be set to run to leave message or hang up if it detects a human. Sangoma CPD (talk to the guys at The Vicidial Group to acquire it) will give a much more accurate response.

But either way: Yep. It can be done with AMD.

How would I set that up in vicidial. Can I use the gui or do I have to create a custom dial plan? I would like to play with this on my test bench.

We've done this for some clients. It works good (around 70% AMD). You can use the GUI and a custom dialplan to do it. Try reading the Vicidial Manager's Manual particularly the "Tutorial" section on "how to dial without any live agents and play a message".

Hi Gardo,

I'm actually using gotodial as my test system.

Thanks,

Justin

Cool. 8)

Try following the instructions on the Manager's Manual. You can make it work on your own. If not, the forum is always available. :wink:
