With the predictive dialer, you can automatically make calls to a list of phone numbers and connect only the people who answered the call to the available users. Also, you can download the predictive dialer history as CSV to check the percentage of connected calls or create a new list of phone numbers.

Step 1: Set up the queue

With the predictive dialer, you will call a list of phone numbers you have set up on MiiTel Analytics. If the person on the list answers the call, users will receive a call on MiiTel. However, let's say the number of people who answered is greater than the number of users who are available. For this case, you would need to send automatic voice guidance and make the phone call on hold for the people who need to wait, so you must set up a queue before running the predictive dialer.

1. Log in to MiiTel Admin. (Click located on the top-right of MiiTel Analytics.)
2. Click Incoming > Queue.
3. Click Add new queue.
4. Set the following fields, then click Save.

1User group: Set the group you wish to transfer the call with the queue. You must make a group on User group in MiiTel Admin before making a new queue.

2Queue name: Enter the title of the queue.

3Description: Enter the description of the queue.

4Call distribution type: Select the order of users to pick up the call.

Call all members

• All members will receive the call at the same time.
• The first person that answers the call will be connected.

Call the member with the longest waiting time

• The person with the longest waiting time for this queue will receive the call. (The time you spent on phone calls outside of this queue will not count as the waiting time.)
• Even if the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, the same person will receive the call.
• If the person cannot pick up the call or clicks Decline, the next person with the longest waiting time will receive the call.
• Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call.

Call the member with the fewest calls

• The person with the fewest calls for this queue will receive the call. (Phone calls outside of this queue will not count as the number of calls.)
• Even if the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, the same person will receive the call.
• If the person cannot pick up the call or clicks Decline, the next person with the fewest calls will receive the call.
• Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call.

Call randomly

• One random person will receive the call.
• If the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, another person will randomly receive the call.
• Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call.

Call in order

• With the order set by the system, one person will receive the call.
• If the ring time goes over the Maximum ring time, the next person will receive the call.
• Other members (except the person who received the call) will not receive the call.

5Queue sound: Set the audio file to play while the call is on hold. (You would first need to add a sound on MiiTel Admin.)

6Maximum ring time: The number of seconds the person's phone will ring. (If you set "Call randomly" or "Call in order" for the Call distribution type: If the ring time goes over this number, the next person will receive the call.)

7Maximum wait time: The maximum number of seconds to keep the caller on hold in a queue. If the wait time goes over this number, the call will automatically be disconnected.

8Retry interval (seconds): The number of seconds to wait before calling the next person based on the call distribution type.

9Maximum number of waiting calls: The maximum number of calls that can wait at a time.

Step 2: Set up the predictive dialer

Next, you will set up the predictive dialer by using the queue which you set up in Step 1. You can set it up by simply entering all details on MiiTel Analytics or using a template.

Step 3: Start the predictive dialer

1. After you have finished setting the predictive dialer, click [▶︎ Start].

2. Click [ Refresh] to check the latest update of the predictive dialer in Status. (If you want to check the call results, click Edit > Detail.)

3. After all phone calls to the phone numbers in the list are finished, the status of the predictive dialer will become Completed. (Click [ Refresh] to check the latest update of the predictive dialer.)

4. Lastly, you can check which phone numbers you were able to make the call from the predictive dialer. Click Edit > Edit. You can check the status of the call on the right side of the list.
   : The phone call was successfully made to the person. (If you click , you can go to the call history page of this phone call.)
   absence: This person did not pick up the phone call, or the person picked up the call, but the users were not able to answer.
   Blank: No call was made.

3Queue: Set the queue you set up in Step 1.
