Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I adjust the auto-dialing settings?

If you aren't an agency admin, you can't adjust auto-dialing settings. However, if you are an agency admin and still cannot find the options, contact a supervisor or our support team.

What happens if we exceed the Abandonment Rate Threshold?
