Campaign Dispositions
Overview
Campaign dispositions let you track and categorize different call outcomes, and configure automated actions based on those outcomes. With dispositions, you can:
- Automatically retry failed call attempts
- Close records and mark them as completed or failed
- Remove phone numbers from your dialing lists
- Add numbers to the Do Not Call (DNC) list
- Map provider-specific call results to custom dispositions
- Define custom dialing rules per disposition
Managing Dispositions
Accessing Dispositions
You can manage dispositions by navigating to the Dispositions link in the sidebar. The interface is divided into two tabs:
- Dispositions - Where you create and manage your disposition codes
- Provider Result Mappings - Where you map external provider (like WxCC or WxConnect) results to your dispositions
Creating a Disposition
When creating a new disposition, you'll need to configure these fields:
- Name - A descriptive name for the disposition
- Description - Detailed explanation of when this disposition should be used
- Record Handling - Choose how the system should handle the record:
- Retry - The record will be attempted again if max attempts haven't been reached
- Close as Completed - The record will closed for further attempts be marked as successfully completed
- Close as Failed - The record will be closed for futher attempts marked as failed
- Stop Dialing Number - (Only available for "Retry" record handling)
- When checked, the current customer phone number will be removed from future dial attempts
- When unchecked, the number remains in the dialing pool
- Add to Do Not Call List - Whether to add numbers to the DNC list:
- When checked, you must specify the scope:
- All Numbers in Record - Adds all phone numbers from the record to the DNC list
- Current Number - Adds only the current phone number to the DNC list
- When unchecked, no numbers are added to the DNC list
- When checked, you must specify the scope:

Provider Result Mappings
Provider result mappings connect external system results to your dispositions automatically. This allows admins to customize how different system results are handled.
Configuring Mappings
The Provider Result Mappings interface shows:
- Provider - The source system (read-only)
- Provider Result - The specific result from the source system (read-only)
- Disposition - Dropdown to select which disposition to map to this result
To configure a mapping:
- Navigate to the "Provider Result Mappings" tab
- Locate the provider result you want to map
- Click "Assign Disposition"
- Select the appropriate disposition from the dropdown
- Save your changes
Default WXCC Mappings
The system automatically creates mappings for Webex Contact Center results:
WXCC Result | Maps To | Description |

Using Dispositions With Dialer Rules
Dispositions can be used in dialer rules to create sophisticated call handling logic. You can:
- Create conditions based on dispositions
- Apply different actions based on specific dispositions
- Automate record handling based on disposition outcomes
To create a rule based on disposition, select "Disposition" when creating a rule condition.
Best Practices
- Consistent Naming: Use clear, consistent names for dispositions that reflect their purpose
- Detailed Descriptions: Provide thorough descriptions to help agents understand when to use each disposition
- Regular Review: Periodically review disposition usage and effectiveness
- DNC Management: Carefully configure DNC settings to comply with regulations
