Thank you for your feedback
In certain countries, individual states have their own telemarketing regulations and calling protocols that differ from national standards. The State Law Group is designed to help ensure compliance with these state-specific rules by allowing you to:
Configure compliance settings to meet state-specific legal requirements.
Automatically enforce state-specific rules and restrictions by integrating the State Law module with your telemarketing system. This ensures that calls are only placed within allowed times and conditions, reducing the risk of non-compliance and potential fines.
Stay up to date with changing regulations. The module can be updated to reflect new laws and amendments, ensuring that your telemarketing practices remain compliant over time.
The State Law Group tab allows you to set up groups of states and configure the callable times as applicable for each state. State Law Groups enable the customization of telemarketing practices to comply with specific state regulations. These groups ensure that calls, SMS, emails, and voicemails are only made during permissible hours, thereby avoiding violations of state laws.
Note:
A state law group can be mapped to several campaigns at a time.
Example
For instance, a state might have a regulation that telemarketers should only call between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, and between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM on Saturdays, with no calling on Sundays. You can configure your application to ensure that contacts are delivered for dialing only within these hours, ensuring compliance with state laws.
Other examples of State-specific regulations:
State 1:
Calls to a customer are not allowed between 9 PM and 6 AM.
Calls to a home landline are allowed only between 7 AM and 9 AM, except on Sundays.
Calls to a mobile are allowed only between 10 AM and 2 PM, Monday to Friday.
Restrictions also apply to Voicemail.
State 2:
Calls to a customer home are allowed only from 6 PM to 8 PM, except on Sundays.
Calls to an office landline are allowed only from 10 AM to 1 PM, Monday to Friday.
No calls are allowed on Sundays.
No unsolicited SMS is allowed between 6 PM and 6 AM.
The State Law Groups tab allows you to configure your application to meet the statutory requirements for dialing, sending out SMS/email messages, or even voicemails. In addition to the State Law Group, ensure you have configured the Compliance Conditions Builder (CCB) that applies a specific CCB condition group to specific states. These State Law Groups are mapped to different campaigns to dial contacts accordingly. A State Law Group can be mapped to several campaigns at a time.
