# Campaigns

> Create, launch, and monitor outbound calling campaigns

A campaign is a batch of outbound calls with a shared purpose — for example, "confirm
next week's appointments" or "follow up on last month's support tickets." Each campaign
has its own audience, script, and schedule.

## Creating a campaign

From your Genie's **Campaigns** tab, choose **New Campaign**:

1. **Audience** — upload a contact list or pick an existing one. Every contact must
   already have a relationship with your business.
2. **Script overlay** — set the greeting, the questions to capture during the call, and
   where to transfer the contact if they ask for a person.
3. **Schedule** — call now, or schedule a window. Outbound respects contact time-zone
   and quiet-hours rules automatically.

## Compliance checklist

Before a campaign can move from **Draft** to **Scheduled**, you must confirm a short
checklist confirming the audience has an existing relationship with your business and
has been checked against opt-outs.

## Monitoring a live campaign

Once launched, the **Calls** tab shows each call's status in real time — ringing,
connected, completed, or blocked. A blocked call means the contact was already on a
do-not-call or opt-out list.

## After a campaign finishes

Each completed call has a disposition (e.g. "reached — resolved," "no answer," "opted
out") and a summary, viewable from the campaign's **Calls** tab or rolled up in
**Reports**.
