A Group represents a collection of agents and has a one-to-one integration with either the partner dialer platform's Campaign or the partner ACD platform's Queue. It connects directly to a campaign on the partner dialer platform or a queue on the partner ACD platform. Different dialing modes, such as Preview or Predictive, are set up within a Group. You can assign multiple campaigns to a Group, determining how calls are distributed among the agents.
For example, you can set one campaign to receive 75% of the calls and another to receive 25%. If both campaigns are set to 100%, the first campaign will receive all its calls first before the second one starts. You can easily change the order of the campaigns by dragging and dropping them.
Note:
The number of contacts to be dialed is calculated based on the System Time Zone configuration.

A campaign is a collection of contacts or records. You can use a campaign to manage the process of making outbound calls (or non-voice modes like email, SMS, etc.) to a homogenous set of contacts. For example, a collection campaign makes calls to credit card customers reminding them of their dues to be paid.
