Make Batch Call
A step-by-step guide to creating and managing batch calls.
View and Manage Batch Calls
To access batch call functionality, navigate to the Batch Call tab in the Retell AI workspace. This is where you can create, view, and monitor your batch calls. Batch calls are classified by their status:
- Draft: Editable and unsent. Drafts will not trigger any calls until submitted.
- Planned: Scheduled for a future time. These cannot be edited once scheduled.
- Ongoing: Currently in progress, limited by concurrency. New calls will only be initiated if concurrency slots are available.
- Sent: All calls in the batch have been successfully completed.

- Select the From Number: Choose a number from the dropdown menu. Ensure that agents are bound to the number to enable batch calls.
