Learn more about the dialing modes.
A campaign enables you to search, generate, and feed a campaign call list to an outbound phone queue, facilitating automated outbound dialing. Campaigns pull data from the customer object of the Local CRM, or any CRM object, such as lead, account, or contact containing phone data from the Salesforce CRM. Campaigns are assigned to outbound phone queues, while agents assigned to these queues are offered campaign calls.
Note: 8x8 Auto Dialer supports generating campaign call lists directly from the Salesforce CRM if 8x8 Contact Center integration for Salesforce is set up. For all other External CRM integrations, the data must be imported from the External CRM into the Local CRM to generate campaign call lists.

Dialer campaigns work in cycles
A key characteristic of nearly all dialer campaigns is that it is rare to reach the desired number of contacts after a single pass through a list. Therefore, campaign lists are recycled again and again using disposition codes from earlier cycles to alter selection and sort strategies to create new campaigns.
