Quick answer

A Close Power Dialer that stops usually has an empty or non-matching Smart View, or you are not rejoining the queue after editing. Use Continue Calling, Call Next Lead or Start from Scratch.

Most likely fix: Check the Smart View

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check the Smart View

    1. Open the calling Smart View and confirm leads match the query
    2. Make sure leads are not being moved out by status changes
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Restart the session

    1. Choose Continue Calling for uncalled leads
    2. Or Start from Scratch to dial everyone again
    3. Use Call Next Lead (Cmd/Ctrl Shift X) after editing
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Check plan and permissions

    1. Power Dialer needs Growth; Predictive Dialer needs Scale
    2. Predictive Dialer is not compatible with Lead Visibility; use a role without it
    Did this fix it?

Symptoms

Dialer does not call the next lead, queue empty, error on start.

Why it happens

  • Smart View has no uncalled leads (it refreshes every 5 minutes or less)
  • Lead status change removed the lead from the Smart View
  • Plan lacks Power Dialer (Growth or higher)
  • Predictive Dialer with Lead Visibility enabled
  • Leads called in the last hour are skipped
