How to Set Call Caps for Agencies, Queues, and Individual Agents

Call caps allow you to control call volume across your organization. You can apply limits at the agency, queue, or individual agent level.

Updated this week

Setting Call Caps for the Entire Agency

  1. Navigate to Agency Settings
    From the Dialer Dashboard, click on Agency Settings.

  2. Enable Call Cap Settings
    Locate the Call Cap Settings section and toggle it on.

  3. Configure the Call Cap
    Set the desired limit for all agents within the agency.

  4. Reset Call Caps (Optional)
    At the bottom of the page, click Reset Call Caps to clear and reset call caps for all agents in the agency.

⚠️ Avoid enabling “All filters must apply” unless specifically needed, as it may overly restrict calling activity.


Setting Call Caps for Individual Agents

  1. Navigate to Agent Settings
    From the Dialer Dashboard, click on Agent Settings.

  2. Select the Agent
    Locate the agent you want to manage and click the eye icon to open their profile.

  3. Access Call Cap Settings
    Scroll to the Call Cap Settings section and toggle it on.

  4. Configure the Agent’s Call Cap
    Enter the appropriate call limits based on performance or policy.

⚠️ Do not enable “All filters must apply” unless required, as it may restrict calls more than intended.



Setting Call Caps for Specific Queues

  1. Navigate to Queues
    From the Dialer Dashboard, click Call Routing, then select Queues.

  2. Select a Queue
    Choose the queue you want to manage and open it.

  3. Receiver Call Cap Section
    Scroll to the Receiver Call Cap section. This is where you can set queue-level call limits.

  4. Set Call Cap Per Agent (Per Day) or Set Maximum Calls from Queue (Per Day)

    • Cap after total calls today – Enter a number to limit total calls per agent in the queue.

    • Cap after billable calls today – Enter a number to limit only billable calls per agent.

    • (Optional) All Filters Must Apply – Use with caution, as this may overly restrict dialing.

    • (Optional for Per Agent Cap Only) Enable Dynamic Call Cap – Allows you to set a maximum number of total calls from the queue per day, regardless of the number of agents.

  5. Call Concurrency (Optional)

    • Set Max Concurrent Calls to limit how many calls can be live from that queue at once.

⚠️ You can also cap agents individually within the queue at the bottom using the same fields:

  • Cap after total calls today

  • Cap after billable calls today

When an agent has reached their cap limit, they'll see the following message:
“No calls expected, you have reached your call limit for all your available queues.”


By using call caps strategically, you can align call volume with business goals and tailor limits based on team or agent needs.
