Blacklist

Use Blacklists to prevent your contact centre from making or receiving calls and from receiving SMSes from certain numbers. E.g. when you are creating a campaign and importing contacts into it, numbers contained in the blacklist will automatically be omitted. Incoming calls and SMSes from a blocked number will not reach agents and outgoing calls to a blocked number will be terminated.

Blacklist database	Select a blacklist database. You can select: Global for all calls and incoming SMSes to block incoming and outgoing calls and incoming SMSes regardless of how they are routed (e.g. which queue they use).

You can use different databases in different queues, both incoming and outgoing.
