MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 1
Manual 2 – Creating A Campaign
In Manual 1, we set up your account by creating users,
team, DNC lists, Media Attributes, Scorecards, Sounds,
Hold Music and Phone Numbers. In Manual 2, we
will configure your first campaign.
Not only will we learn how to configure the campaign,
we will learn how to add, view and deactivate
campaigns, how to put campaigns in test mode and how
to pause campaigns allowing you to make the necessary
changes.
To prepare for this Manual, think about the following:
Do you want to receive daily reports for your individual campaigns? If yes, who should
receive them? Will you need to create a report specific to your clients or organizational
needs? If yes, how often will this report be run?
What type of sales (conversions) will be made on this campaign? Conversions are also
used when your campaign goal is met. Such as; gathering data or setting an appointment.
Do you want the agent to select the conversion, or do you want this conversion to be
automated?
What type of call results (dispositions) will be on this campaign? Your account does come
with “canned” dispositions such as dialer results, but you will need to add other typical
results you have seen regarding a campaign such as; not interested or wrong number.
What data entry (data fields) will the agents need to complete in the scripting?
Do you have lead files that will be upload or are you receiving real-time leads?
Do you want this campaign to have voicemail? If yes, do you want the agents to have their
own voicemail boxes or do you want all voicemails to go to a general e-mailbox?
Will the campaign be outbound, inbound or both? Will the inbound calls be treated different
than the outbound calls (different team, script, etc.)?
Will this campaign require multiple caller ID’s or inbound numbers?
What messages (sounds) will be included in this campaign for hold, abandon, closed, etc.?
What will the hours of operation be for this campaign?
How should my
campaign be
configured?
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 2
Campaigns
A campaign is created to make outbound calls or receive inbound calls designed to sell a
specific product, service or business. They can also be used for fund-raising calls, as well as
calls for list updating, data collection, surveys or verification services.
Within your CallShaper account, you are not limited to the number of campaigns you can create
and each campaign can be configured differently.
The configuration includes:
A Caller ID and Inbound Numbers,
Voicemail designated to the general mailbox and/or the agents,
Scripts will provide the agent with the information needed to handle a call from hello to
goodbye (covered in Manual 3),
Data fields used to populate reports or scripting,
Conversions representing sales or a specific goal of the call,
Dispositions representing call results when a sale or goal is not achieved,
Lead files that are either uploaded or received as real-time leads,
Do not call lists that can be specific to a campaign or account,
How the queue behaves when it has reached its limits or is closed,
How often the leads are attempted,
The hours of operation,
What sounds are associated with the campaign,
Controlling when and who records the calls,
What restrictions are put on wrap-up, manual calls and callbacks, and
What dialer type is used to make calls and how many active calls can the dialer have
going at one time.
On the next page, you will find a New Campaign Checklist. This checklist is designed to assist
you while creating each campaign to ensure all topics mentioned above have been completed
or verified that they do not apply to the individual campaign.

CALLSHAPER 5
Campaigns Screen
The Campaigns screen is where you will go to add campaigns, view existing active or inactive
campaigns, and edit the configuration settings of existing campaigns.
Buttons Section
Show Inactive Campaigns
When a campaign has been made inactive, it can be viewed but not reactivated. To see a list of
inactive campaigns or to view their settings, click the button.
If you are not currently calling on a campaign but plan to use it at a later date, do not
deactivate the campaign. Campaigns cannot be reactivated. If a campaign is
deactivated accidently, please contact Support.
Add Campaign
Before adding a campaign, think about the type of calls you will be taking and/or making.
Campaigns can be created using the Auto Dialer or the campaign can be manually dialed. To
add a campaign, click the button.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 6
Add Campaign Screen
When choosing whether the campaign type will be dialed manually or by the Auto Dialer, it is
important to understand the types of phone numbers you will be dialing.
Ask yourself:
Do the leads have wireless numbers or landlines? If your leads have wireless numbers, you
must have express consent.
Do you have express consent to call these numbers? If you do not, the lead cannot be
called by the Auto Dialer and you must use the Manual Dialer Only option. Please note, a
campaign cannot be switched from this mode to Auto Dialer mode.
If setting up a campaign to take incoming calls only, choose Auto Dialer Enabled.
Then when in the Campaign Configuration screen, you will pause the dialer to ensure
no outbound calls are made unless you resume the dialer. We will review this setting
later in this Manual.
Campaign List Section
This section contains a list of the campaigns created in your account. Each campaign will have
its own configuration settings. To view the campaign settings, click on the campaign name.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 7
Campaign Configuration Screen
This screen is where you will make all of the changes and adjustments to your campaign. In
addition to configuring your campaign, from this screen you can deactivate, change to test mode
and live mode, pause and resume dialing on a campaign
Warning Section
The warning section will provide detail of missing information or if a specific setting is stopping
the dialer from dialing on this campaign.
If a setting needs to be corrected,
click the “Fix this Problem” link to be
taken directly to that setting.
Campaign Stats and Dialer Information Section
This section will give you a high level overview of your campaign statistics and dialer information.
The campaign statistics will not change while you are on this page.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 8
Button Section
Pausing the Dialer
Using the button will stop the dialer form calling on the campaign and allow
you to focus on making changes, or have your team dial on a different campaign. Once paused,
the button will change to .
Pausing the campaign WILL NOT affect the scheduled callbacks for outbound
campaigns. IF your campaign is inbound only, pause the dialer so leads are not
contacted.
Options Button
The options button contains a drop-down list. In this list, you can deactivate
a campaign, switch to test mode and back to Live Mode.
Deactivate A Campaign
When a campaign is no longer being used, it is recommended the campaign be deactivated to
avoid any confusion. Before the campaign is deactivated, please understand this action cannot
be reversed and the teams and phone numbers will no longer be associated with that campaign.
To deactivate an existing campaign, click the options
button and choose Deactivate Campaign. The campaign
is now listed under .
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 9
Switch to Test Mode
Before a campaign is run live, it is highly recommended the campaign is run in “test mode” first.
This will give you an opportunity to test the scripting (covered in Manual 3) and the campaign
settings. Most importantly, you can see the campaign from the agent’s perspective in the Agent
Application.
When you log into the Agent Application, all calls are simulated while you are in test mode. The
dialer will use the leads you have loaded into the campaign and simulate live calls. Although you
are NOT making live calls, you can view the script, choose dispositions and conversions (covered
later in this Manual). You can also see the simulated calls in the Call Search screen and view
reports based on your activity (covered in Manual 4).
To run a campaign in test mode, click the options button
and choose Switch to Test Mode.
Once you have tested the campaign, you can put the
campaign back into live mode by selecting the
button and choosing, Switch to Live Mode.
In this next section, we will review each configuration button separately.
We will not review them in the order they are listed.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 10
Configuration Section
The configuration section is where you will create and adjust the settings of your campaign. In
this section, there are a series of buttons. Each requires its own configuration based on the
needs of the campaign.
Callbacks
Callbacks are scheduled by the agent or manually added to the call
detail (covered in Manual 4). The callbacks button displays the
scheduled callbacks that have not been completed yet on this
campaign. The list will contain the time of next attempt, when the
callback was created, who scheduled the callback, the owner, the
leads name and the number of misses. The Callbacks screen will not
provide a history of scheduled callbacks.
Callbacks Screen
The scheduled callback settings will be covered in the Campaign Settings button
section of this Manual. This setting will determine the number of misses allowed
and the time between tries before the lead is put back into the regular dialer
rotation.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 11
Voicemail
Each campaign can have its own voicemail for incoming calls in
cases where an agent is not available to answer, the queue is
closed or maxed out (if programmed in the campaign settings).
Any messages left will be sent as a recording to each email address listed in the email
distribution field. If the agent extension mailboxes are enabled, the recording can go to the
email address of the agent and the Email Distribution list.
When you select the voicemail button, you will be asked to click the
button.
Enable Voicemail Screen
Once the voicemail has been set up, it can be edited by clicking the button or disabled
by clicking the button.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 12
Agent Skill Levels
Skill Levels are used to determine the priority of call types an agent
will receive. When an agent is added as a user, their Skill Level
defaults to the Skill Level of the campaign they are assigned to.
Agent Skill Level Screen
Click the link to change the skill level
from the drop-down list. Then click the
button to accept the changes.
The prioritization order is below:
If the campaign default is High, the agent prioritization is - High-Medium-Low
If the campaign default is Medium, the agent prioritization is - Medium-High-Low
If the campaign default is Low, the agent prioritization is - Low-Medium-High
Skill levels will NOT prevent an agent from taking calls on a campaign they are
assigned to.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 13
Do Not Call
In the do not call (DNC) setting, you can change the campaigns
default DNC list, add DNC lists to the campaign and remove an
entire state/providence from your campaign.
Once changes have been saved, all leads (newly loaded and existing) in that campaign will be
scrubbed to ensure they are not on any of the campaigns DNC lists or in a state that should not
be called.
Adding a state to the do not call section DOES NOT add any of its phone numbers to a DNC
list. This setting simply tells the dialer not to choose a phone number from that state to call.
Do Not Call List Screen
All phone numbers placed on a DNC list or included in a DNC state, will show on
reports as “callable”. In reporting, callable only means that if there were no
restrictions on the campaign, this number could be called (covered in Manual 4).
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 14
Inbound Numbers
In the inbound numbers setting, you can add new inbound numbers,
view and edit existing inbound numbers, move the number to a

The options button drop-down has four options. If the inbound
number is also a caller ID, some options may not be available.
View History – This option will provide a history of when
changes were made to the inbound number.
Move To – Phone numbers that have been purchased on your account can be moved between
campaigns. Before choosing this option, understand that it may affect your media reporting and
inbound calls received, for the new and/or the old campaign the number was assigned to. This
option is not available if the number is also a caller ID.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 18
Release - When a phone number is no longer being used for a campaign, you can release it.
When a phone number is released, CallShaper will moved it over to the quarantine category for
15 days. After the 15 days have passed, the phone number will then be move to the
unassigned category where you can remove the phone number from your account or reassign it
to another campaign.
Switch to Callback IVR – If the phone number is in callback IVR mode, the calls received to
this inbound phone number will NOT be queued for delivery to an agent. The caller is
presented with an IVR message and is given the option to press 1 to be automatically added to
the campaigns DNC list.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN

Lead Post
The lead post is used when receiving real-time lead information. For
example, if someone is putting their contact information into your or
your client’s website to be contacted, the lead post will send the lead
information directly to your outbound campaign so an agent can
contact them.
You can determine the frequency, skill level, expiration, data fields and how/if the real time data
is filtered. Once the parameters have been set, instructions are created and can be sent to your

Lead Files
Files containing lead information can be uploaded into your campaign
enabling your agents to make outbound calls using the autodialer.
Because each lead file is different depending on the needs of the campaign, the only
requirements are; all lead files must be in a .CSV format and include a column for the leads
phone number. If the file includes cell phone numbers, you must have a column for express
consent and one for inquiry date.
Lead Files Screen
The Lead Files Screen displays a list of the lead files uploaded into a campaign that have not
been finalized or expired. From this screen, you can get a quick view of the status, bucket
assignment, skill level, expiration date, net leads, callable leads and the number of dials for
each file.
Buttons Section
Upload Lead File
To upload a lead file into the campaign, click the button. Remember that
lead files must be in CSV format, include a phone number column and if the file contains cell
phone numbers, you must have a column for express consent and one for inquiry date.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 38
Before uploading a file, verify all data fields you would like available for scripting and
reporting purposes within the lead file have been created in the campaign first. If
you do not have a data field available to match the column to, the data in that
column will not upload.
The upload process will go through three screens, Upload File, Sample Results and the Lead
File Preview. When finished, an email will be sent to the person who uploaded the file.
Upload File Screen
In the Upload File screen, you will choose the file to upload, its expiration date, skill level, caller
ID and scrub options.
The duplicate scrub is only used to scrub against previous loaded lead files in the
campaign. The system will automatically scrub for duplicates within the same file.
If there is a need to have duplicates within the same file, they MUST be loaded as
separate lead files.

Sample Results Screen
In the Sample Results screen, select the format of the file and choose the proper column
heading for each column using their drop-down lists. If you cannot find the matching header,
you can choose the <Ignore> option. CallShaper will NOT upload columns with <Ignore> as the
header. If the data in the column should be uploaded, you must create a data field before
uploading the lead file.
Lead File Preview Screen
In the Lead File Preview screen, verify the column headings match the data being uploaded.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 40
Every time a lead file is uploaded into CallShaper, an
email titled Lead File Loaded –name of file, will be
sent to the user who uploaded the lead file.
The email will contain the Lead File Import Report,
detailing the number of original records, duplicates,
invalid numbers, scrubbed files, net loaded and
callable leads.
The email will also contain attachments showing you
the records that were not loaded because they were
duplicates, invalids, scrubbed and wireless.
Callable records are records that “could” be called if there were no restrictions set
up in the campaign. For example; if a lead is on a DNC list or in a state that you
have restricted from calling on in this campaign, they will show as callable.
Lead File Actions
Once a lead file has been loaded into CallShaper, changes
can be made from the lead file actions menu to the buckets,
skill level, file name, dialing status and expiration date. The
lead files can also be viewed, exported, expired and deleted.
To make changes to, view or export a lead file, select the
lead file, then the drop-down
menu.
Some options may not be available based on the files current status. In the menu
above, Resume Dialing and Change Expiration options are not available.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 41
Move to Bucket
During the upload process, the lead file is assigned to buckets 1-4. Each bucket is given a
calling percentage in the campaign settings (covered in the next section). The move to bucket
option will allow you to change the current bucket the lead file is assigned to.
Set Skill Level
During the upload process, the lead file can be assigned to a skill level. The skill levels are a
prioritization that will match the skill level of the lead file to the skill level of the agent.
Adjusting the skill level of the lead file does not stop an agent from taking or making calls from
that particular lead file. Setting the skill level only prioritizes who will get the calls first.
Pause Dialing
You can pause dialing on specific files when you want to stop using the file temporarily or
permanently.
Pausing the lead file WILL NOT affect the scheduled callbacks within the file.
Resume Dialing
The resume dialing option is used to START dialing on a new file, or used to resume dialing on
a paused file.
Expire
Lead files can be expired if the file is not performing or you no longer want to use the lead file.
Using this option will expire the file as of the day you perform this task. The file can then be
accessed using the button.
If you do not want the expiration date to be “today’s” date, choose the edit option in
the File Actions menu to manually input an expiration date.

Change Expiration
The change expiration option is used when you want to reactivate a lead file that has been
expired or finalized. This task will move the file to the list. You may
have to select “resume dialing” to make the file active again.
Edit
In the Edit screen you can; change the
file name, expiration date, bucket, skill
level and the caller ID assigned to the
lead file.

way. CallShaper recommends the Predictive Dialer Types for best results.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 47
Progressive Dialer Type
This dialer type is for large Call
Centers with little or no
downtime. This type allows
you to program the maximum
number of active calls, calls
per agent and new calls.
The speed of the dialer is
based on the average
availability of the agents and
the number of calls handled by
the dialer. This option has
settings for manual dialing, dial
timeout and answering
machine detection. Note: you
cannot control the abandon
rate with this option.
Preview Dialer Type
This dialer type allows the agent to review the lead information before the dialer connects the
call. The speed of the dialer is based on the on the average availability of the agents logged in.
This setting tells CallShaper what data fields the agent will see and how long the agent has to
review the lead information before the call is connected. This type allows for manual dials and
has a manual dial timeout setting that will place the agent back in the dialer queue.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 48
There are three types of Predictive dialing types. They are:
Predictive Dialer Type
This dialer type is the
recommended setting for
most Call Centers. This
setting will constantly adjust
based on the abandon rate,
max call settings, availability
of the agent and calls handled
by the dialer.
This option has settings for
manual dialing, dial timeout,
answering machine detection,
abandon rate (max 3%) and
max active calls.
Please refer to the TCPA Regulations and Guidelines regarding the abandon rate
limits using an auto-dialer for calling campaigns.
Predictive (Experimental) Dialer Type
This dialer type is recommended for campaigns with six or less agents logged in. This
option performs in the same manner and has the same settings as the Predictive dialer type.
Predictive (Experimental Y) Dialer Type
This dialer type focuses on the connection rate. This setting is recommended for campaigns
that have started with the Predictive Dialer type and have found an unusually high or low
connection rate and need to make adjustments. This option has the same settings as the
Predictive dialer type.
MANUAL 2 – CREATING YOUR CAMPAIGN
CALLSHAPER 49
Manual Dialer Type
This dialer type allows all dials to
be made manually by the
agents. The Manual Dialer
setting determines if the agent
will have inbound call screen-
pop enabled, the amount of time
the agent has to make an
outbound call and when the call
is considered a "no answer".
Leads Tab
The lead tab is where you select
the lead prioritization, max attempts
settings, calling times and the
buckets dialing patterns.
Dialing Pattern - This field tells
CallShaper what percentage of dials
to give each bucket (between 0-
100). When a lead file is uploaded,
it is assigned to a “bucket” (1-4). All
lead files for a campaign can be put
into the same bucket or separate
buckets.
