The best way I find to diagnose problems with contact lists is to log into MySQL directly and query the data from the table (vicidial_list).

You can get to MySQL in the standard installation through /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql in a terminal then if you do something like:

Code: Select all
use asterisk;

SELECT lead_id, list_id, phone_number, title, first_name, last_name, address1, postal_code FROM vicidial_list ORDER BY lead_id DESC LIMIT 0,10;


Then you should be able to see the most important data from the list you have just uploaded.

I expect the problem you have is that the list_id in the data you have uploaded does not match the list_id you have declared in the Admin GUI. This could happen if your | delimited file did not have the correct number of fields in each row so that the list_id field became out of place some how.

If you run that query and post the output back here I will take a look and see if I can find anything.

I have seen this in lists with special characters such as #!@$%^&*()_+{}[] etc. Try removing those from the list and re-importing it.

Did you remove all special characters from all fields?

are your leads US phone numbers? did you specify a specific calling hour in the campaigns page (9am-9pm calling and etc)? if that's the case, most of the leads won't be available unless you're checking them in the specified calling hour. the hopper won't load them unless you specify a 24 hour calling period.

Good point Gardo.

You could confirm this by looking at the list if it shows that there are only 1000 leads in the list when it was supposed to be 2000 then you know this is not the case.

However if it shows 2000 leads in the list but only 1000 "Dialable" leads then you could have some time conditions set.

What is the status of this? Did you remove the special characters? Did that resolve your issue?
