Campaigns

Campaigns deliver the same ringless voicemail recording to many contacts with pacing, retries, and progress tracking.

Create a campaign

1. Open Campaigns → New
2. Select a group or individual contacts
3. Choose a recording (library or AI Generate)
4. Configure daily limits, calling window, and optional mid-day break
5. On Settings & review, check the List review panel — ready to dial, held landlines, and not-checked lines
6. Optionally run Clean list before starting (recommended for first campaigns)

Held landlines

After you clean your list, identified landline and office VoIP numbers stay in your CRM but are held from the campaign. Mobile and not-yet-checked lines dial when the campaign runs. On a draft campaign, use Refresh targeting after cleaning, or Release held after the first pass if you want landlines included.

Background processing

After you start a campaign, ripdr processes drops automatically. You do not need the Campaigns page open. Status shows completed and failed counts in real time.

Credits

Each dispatched drop uses 1 credit. Campaigns pause when credits run out and resume after you top up. Retries with alternate numbers each use an additional credit.

Failed drops are normal

A failed count on a running campaign does not mean ripdr is broken. Carriers and voicemail systems vary — occasional non-delivery is expected industry-wide. Common causes include carrier filtering, invalid numbers, call screening, and line-type differences. ripdr retries with alternate outbound numbers when possible.

Scheduled start

Set a future start time and timezone. The campaign remains in scheduled status until the window opens.

HubSpot notes

Enable HubSpot sync on the campaign to write drop outcomes to contact notes in HubSpot.

Retries

Failed drops retry up to three times, using alternate caller IDs when available.
