drop_rate_group

What Drop Rate Group Does

A group identifier that links multiple campaigns together for shared abandon rate calculation. When set, VICIdial calculates the 3% FTC abandon rate limit across all campaigns in the same group rather than per-campaign. Required for multi-campaign operations to maintain accurate regulatory compliance.

| Center Size | Recommended Value | Notes |

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

| 10–25 Agents | Set to group all related campaigns for shared abandon rate calculation | Start conservative, monitor for 48 hours before adjusting |

| 25–100 Agents | Set to group all related campaigns for shared abandon rate calculation | Scale gradually — larger operations amplify effects of misconfiguration |

| 100–500 Agents | Set to group all related campaigns for shared abandon rate calculation | Consult ViciStack optimization team for enterprise-scale tuning |

How to Change This Setting

  • Navigate to Admin > Campaigns

  • Select campaign

  • Find Drop Rate Group field

  • Enter group name (same string for all campaigns that share the rate calculation)

  • Apply same group name to all related campaigns

  • Submit for each campaign

Common Problems

Not setting this when running concurrent campaigns means each campaign independently approaches 3% — combined actual rate may exceed limit

Different group names for related campaigns defeats shared calculation

Must set for all campaigns simultaneously to take effect
