This walks the shortest complete path: a list of people, something to say to them, and a call. It assumes you can sign in at /login as an organisation admin.
1

Load some contacts

Go to Customers → Contacts. A contact needs a number in the form your carrier presents it, e.g. +61400111222.You do not have to add them by hand — a campaign can import a CSV, and that is the usual way. Skip to step 3 if you have a file.
2

Group them, if you want to reuse the list

Customers → Segments holds named groups you can point a campaign at. Fill one from the contacts screen: filter to the people you want, then Add to segment.The dialog tells you how many contacts it is about to add before you press the button, because the whole risk of a filter-shaped action is adding people you did not realise were in view.
3

Create the broadcast

Outbound → Voice Broadcasting → New broadcast. Four steps:
  1. Voice — a recording, or write the message and have it read out.
  2. List — a segment, or upload a CSV.
  3. Channels — how many calls run at once.
  4. Start — now or at a set time, and the hours it may dial in. Step one of the broadcast wizard

Check the list before you launch

From the campaign’s row, open Contacts. This is your own file’s columns in your own order — not a phone book — so “is this the right list” is answerable before anybody is rung.Anyone marked do-not-call appears as suppressed. They stay on the list and are never dialled; the sheet says who will be skipped rather than quietly omitting them.
5

Hear it, if you wrote it

If you wrote the message rather than uploading a recording, press Hear it. It is spoken with a real contact from your own list, so a template that reads perfectly and breaks against your actual file is caught here rather than by ten thousand people.
6

Start it

Start on the row. If it refuses, the reason is specific — no contacts left, no recording, a message naming a column nobody has. Fix that and start it again.
7

Watch it

A running campaign gets a Live action: calls in flight, dialled, answered, abandoned against the cap, and how many are left.

What to expect the first time

A broadcast needs a carrier that can place calls. If your trunks are not configured, contacts will finish with no_route and no call will be made. Check Phone system → Trunks first.
If a campaign starts and nothing happens, the call sheet is where the answer is: every contact carries the outcome of its last attempt.
