Configuring Your Campaign in OmniOut (Salesforce)

Configuring Your Campaign in OmniOut (Salesforce)

A prerequisite to this step is that all of the prior sections have been completed.

Getting Started

Now that your campaign and contact data is prepared, it is time to begin building your cadence within the OmniOut Tool. 

Navigate to Admin > Configuration > OmniOut. Then, select SalesForce Campaign from the Source drop down. Select your previously created data source connection from the Connection drop down. Click on the Next button.

 

Select the campaign you want to configure from the Campaign drop down. Click on the Next button.

 

Scheduling

Select the Days of the week, the time zone, and the hours in which the campaign should run. If you have contacts in different timezones and want to reach out based on the local time, check out this article.

Note:  If the start and end hours are incorrectly selected, the user interface won’t let you reselect a time until the Reset button is clicked.

Status

Allows you to specify whether you want the campaign to actively look for leads/contacts added to the data source. If enabled, this process will run every 5 minutes.

Days

The days of the week you'd like the campaign to run. 

  • Monday - Friday

  • Saturday - Sunday 

  • Every day 

Timezone and Time Range

The timezone you want to assign to this campaign. This range determines when the system will pull interactions into the assigned Queue.


Building the Cadence

All of the previous steps in this section have been leading to this—its time to actually build your cadence. Below is one of the statuses previous created, along with the corresponding classification drop-downs.

Status

All campaign statuses created within your data source will show up here. If a campaign stage or disposition option is missing, head back to Salesforce or Tables (depending on your source), make the change, and refresh OmniOut.

Points

Points allow you to weight interactions within the Outbound Queue. Generally, you want later stages of the cadence (e.g. Call 5) to take priority over a new, 1st touchpoint. Otherwise, new prospects to the cadence would make it impossible to work through your previous prospects. 

Action

The action designates the type of interaction presented to the rep. In this case, the first touchpoint is a call, so the action will present as a “phone call.” This doesn’t limit the agent from another interaction type—it just serves as a reminder as they navigate dozens of cadences on different durations. 

Options for Actions are:

  • None (for an end type/disposition)

  • Phone Call

  • Message

  • Email

  • Agentless

Edit

  • Edit Icon - This icon’s abilities are dependent on the type of Action selected. 

    • Phone Action = edit call script

    • Message Action = define templated text message

    • Email Action = define templated email message

The script is similar to Q Scripts in that you can surface scripts to the agent specific to the cadence touch point. For example, if you always want a specific voicemail on the 3rd contact, or specific email templates, you can enter them here. For more information on scripts, click here.

Delay

Delay/Delay Unit = The amount of time that will pass from the time the interaction enters this status before triggering the interaction in the queue. Typically the first stage of a campaign/cadence would not have a delay. 

  • e.g. Call 1 finishes and the cadence transitions to Call 2. A delay of 2 days means that Call 2 will wait two days before populating in the cadence. 

Note: It is important to select the correct delay unit. If the desire is for a stage to happen 2 hours from now then select 2 hours...do not select 120 minutes. 


Delay Method

  • Dynamic = Based on when the system loads the interaction into the cadence. Therefore, it is more true to the cadence 

    • Example: A 10 day cadence would actually take 10 days.

  • Fixed (Recommended) = Fixed to rep availability—taking into account Out of Office, weekends, etc.

    • Example: A 10 day cadence could take longer than 10 days.

End Results / Dispositions

To the right of the Delay Method field in the campaign stage there are selection boxes for each end result/disposition. As mentioned in a previous step, if these End Results and Dispositions do not match what you’d want to use, they can be modified within Sharpen Tables > FathomSASFCampaignsStatus under “structure” (even if you aren’t using SFDC as your data source).

For each end result/disposition, it is necessary to select the next campaign stage for the interaction if that disposition is selected by the agent when completing the interaction associated with this stage.

 


Linking the Agents & SharpenQ

In the Link Agents and Sharpen Q section of the campaign configuration select the Queue, Calling Method, and Agent Availability for each agent that should place interactions for this campaign. 

 

Queue

All available queues will display within this dropdown. Ensure you select the appropriate outbound queue for this agent and this campaign.

If you want to route all of “Adam’s” leads to “Adam” — choose a queue that only Adam will access, like a MyQ. If the leads do not need to be delivered to a specific person, you can route the interactions to a group queue (like “Sales”) so that leads are handled by any agent as they become available.

Calling Method

This determines how you'd like the agents to proceed through the campaign. 

  • Manual is the most common option. This means the agent will be able to read any pertinent information about the call, then click the Place Call button

  • Automatic indicates that when an agent clicks the “Accept” button, the call will be automatically placed. (There is no time to read about the call before dialing)

Agent Availability

  • Always - This means that Leads will be imported into the OmniOut campaign regardless of whether or not the Lead owner is in Sharpen. (recommended)

  • Logged In -This means that Leads will be imported into the OmniOut campaign only if the Lead owner is logged into Sharpen.

  • Unpaused - This means that Leads will be imported into the OmniOut campaign only if the Lead owner is unpaused in Sharpen.

  • Logged In and Unpaused - This means that Leads will be imported into the OmniOut campaign only if the Lead owner is logged in and unpaused in Sharpen.
