An autodialer is an automated telephone technology designed to streamline the outgoing calling process. Its primary function is to automatically dial a telephone number immediately after an operator completes a call. As soon as a call is completed, the power dialer seamlessly initiates the next call to the next contact in a predefined list. This automation eliminates manual dialing, saving time and ensuring agents or operators are continuously occupied.
How to use the Power Dialer
Step 1: Enable Power Dialer
To get the most out of your dialer, the first step is to activate it in your account settings. This is usually done in the outgoing calls section of your dialing settings. There you will find options to configure the dialer according to your preferences. For most of them, including Aircall's power dialer, you need to set how long the system should let a call ring before considering it unanswered.
By setting this timeout, you can ensure that the dialer moves to the next call if the current call is not answered within the specified timeout. This helps maximize the efficiency of your appeal process.
Step 2: Using the Power Dialer
The Power Dialer offers users multiple ways to make calls. You can access it through a Chrome extension, which allows for seamless integration with your browser for easy dialing. In addition, the “click to call” function allows you to dial numbers directly from your screen by clicking on them.
For larger calling lists, you can use CSV or TXT files to bulk import phone numbers. Finally, you can use manual import to enter individual numbers directly into the system. These versatile options allow you to use the power dialer in the way that best suits your needs and workflow.
Step 3: Start the session
Once you have imported the numbers into your Power Dialer, it's time to launch your calling session. For the Aircall dialer, simply click on the “Go” button in the interface. From this moment on, it is the power dialer who takes charge. It will automatically dial imported numbers individually, connecting you to live calls, voicemails or answering machines.
To move on to the next call, simply press the “Next” button. This seamless transition between calls allows you to stay focused on engaging with your prospects or customers, without having to manually dial or interrupt the process. Power dialer's effective call handling can significantly improve your calling process, making it an indispensable tool for sales and customer service teams.

Instead of manually dialing numbers, the system takes care of this task by sequentially dialing the contacts in your list. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort required for each call, allowing your agents or representatives to focus on the conversation itself rather than the mechanics of dialing.
Increased efficiency
The power dialer allows agents to engage in conversations consistently, minimizing downtime. This improvement in call productivity translates into more potential contacts and a greater opportunity to close deals. Efficiency gains are especially valuable in fast-paced sales environments, where every moment counts.
Call recording
Many power dialer systems include call recording functions. This function offers many advantages, particularly in terms of training and quality assurance. Recorded calls can be reviewed for coaching and training purposes, helping agents improve their communication skills and sales techniques.
Conclusion
Clearly, autodialers have ushered in an era of transformation in communication within our businesses. These innovative tools have redefined how we contact prospects, customers and potential customers, streamlining our outbound calling processes and increasing overall efficiency. Automating mundane tasks has freed up valuable time so business teams can focus on meaningful conversations and relationship building. As technology advances, it's clear that autodialers will remain a cornerstone of modern business operations.
