Quick Reference
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.
Recommended Configuration
| 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
