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.
