Hi All,

I'm wondering what the best way of scheduling a power campaign on PureCloud since the scheduling option is restricted with Open & End Date, unlike, CIC where you can just select the days of week and then the campaign will keep running all the time.

My scenario is that, suppose the working hours start at 9 AM and finish at 5 PM, and I want the campaign to start at 11 AM and finishes at 4 PM daily, what would be the best solution to achieve such behavior.


Thank you.

Under campaign schedule, you can based on day and time, but this will apply to one campaign at a time and is date-specific, not something like "every Monday to Friday".  It would be nice to schedule this by relative days.

Hi Hussein,
If you'd like to see campaign schedule recurrence like you've described, please vote for this idea in Aha! https://purecloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CLOUT-I-179

Currently, campaign schedules allow up to 500 intervals to be scheduled for a single campaign, though of course that doesn't solve the problem of creating each of those intervals manually. A scripted solution utilizing our APIs may be a good choice if you know that your campaign will always run during the same times every week.

I would recommend not using a rule to check the time of day, but instead utilizing a callable time set if you want to pursue a solution similar to Robert's.

The other way would be a pre-dial rule that checks the time of day and not dial outside of the 11 to 4 hours.  This would require a data action to get the current time.

Hi Sean, 

I have already tried the callable time set, but the campaign ended up flagging all contacts that are after 4 PM with this flag (ININ-OUTBOUND-NOT-CALLABLE-TIME) and then turned off the campaign, thus, using data action seems much convenient with my scenario to prevent the campaign from calling instead of flagging contacts.

Thank you.

Hi Hussein,

A call rule would have the same effect of marking all undialed contacts with a wrap-up code indicating they were skipped, specifically "ININ-OUTBOUND-RULE-SKIPPED". If you want the campaign to halt progress immediately at 4pm, and pick up where it left off the next day at 11am, with no skipped contacts, you'll need to use a campaign schedule.

Thanks,
