What Closer Campaigns Does

A comma-separated list of inbound groups that agents in this campaign can transfer calls to (hot transfers) or receive calls from (if campaign_allow_inbound is enabled). This is the key setting for configuring agent-to-agent warm transfers and inbound-outbound blending.

| Center Size | Recommended Value | Notes |

| --- | --- | --- |

| 10–25 Agents | Configure only needed inbound groups | Start conservative, monitor for 48 hours before adjusting |

| 25–100 Agents | Configure only needed inbound groups | Scale gradually — larger operations amplify effects of misconfiguration |

| 100–500 Agents | Configure only needed inbound groups | Consult ViciStack optimization team for enterprise-scale tuning |

How to Change This Setting

  • Navigate to Admin > Campaigns

  • Select campaign

  • Find Closer Campaigns field

  • Enter inbound group IDs separated by commas (e.g., CLOSER, SALES_CLOSE)

  • Ensure referenced inbound groups exist in Admin > In-Groups

  • Submit and test transfer flow

Common Problems

Referencing non-existent inbound groups causes transfer failures

Not listing available closer groups means agents can’t hot-transfer

Overly broad closer campaign list can route calls to wrong groups
