How to Use Mteja’s Autodialer

The Autodialer allows agents make calls back-to-back in a structured way, from customer outreach to debt collection, without manually dialling each number. Here’s how to set up and use it.

This guide walks you through how to create and manage an autodialer campaign.


Step 1: Navigate to the Autodialer

  1. From your homepage, go to Call Center

  2. Click on Autodialer

  3. Click Create


Step 2: Create Campaign Details

  1. Enter a Campaign Name

  2. Add a Description

  3. Click Next


Step 3: Add a Call Script (Optional)

  1. Enter your call script for agents to follow

  2. You can leave this blank if no script is needed

Using Dynamic Variables

If your script includes personalized fields (e.g., name, amount), use curly braces:

  • Example: Hello {name}, your balance is {amount}

Ensure these variables match the column names in your uploaded contact file.

Click Next


Step 4: Configure Data Collection (Optional)

If you want agents to collect data during calls, if not just skip it and click Next:

Add Input Fields

  • Create fields such as Age, Location, etc.

Enable/Disable Custom Input

  • Enable custom input: Allows agents to type responses freely (e.g., Age)

  • Disable custom input: Agents select from predefined options (e.g., Locations)

Use Subcategories (Optional)

  • Enable subcategories if additional details are needed under a selected option

  • Leave unchecked if not required

  1. Add all required fields and options

  2. Click Next


Step 5: Configure Call Settings

Call Answer Timeout

  • Defines how long a call rings before moving to the next contact

  • Example: 30 seconds

Maximum Attempts per Contact

  • Number of retry attempts if a call is unanswered

  • Example: 3 attempts

Retry Interval (Optional)

  • Time between retry attempts

  • Example: 60 minutes

  • Leave blank to retry immediately

Select Virtual Numbers

  • Choose one or multiple numbers

  • If multiple are selected, retries use different numbers automatically

Assign Users or Teams

  • Select:

    • Individual agents

    • Multiple agents

    • A product/team group (if configured)

  1. Complete all settings

  2. Click Next


Step 6: Upload Contacts

  1. Upload a contact file or select an existing contact group

  2. Ensure your file includes all required fields (e.g., phone number, variables used in scripts)

  3. Click Create Campaign


Step 7: Start the Campaign

  1. Once created, open the campaign

  2. Click Start Campaign to begin dialing


Step 8: Monitor Campaign Performance

After or during the campaign, you can view:

  • Total number of calls

  • Success rate

  • Call duration

  • Unanswered rate

Access this under the created Campaign Insights


Step 9: View Logs and Call Details

  1. Click View Logs from the campaign insights page

  2. For each call, you can see:

    • Call outcome

    • Collected data

    • Call recordings

    • Call type (Autodialer)


Step 10: Add More Contacts (Optional)

  • You can add more contacts to an existing campaign

  • Go to the Recipients List and upload additional numbers

  • No need to create a new campaign


Additional Notes

  • All autodialer calls are also visible under Call Logs

  • Calls are labelled as Autodialer for easy identification

  • If multiple agents or teams are involved, performance can be tracked per campaign
