# Run your first campaign

> Go from a ready workspace to a running outbound campaign dialing real leads, choosing a dial mode along the way.

Launch your first outbound campaign, from choosing a dial mode to watching it dial.

**Time required:** \~30 minutes
**You will need:** [inbound and outbound calling already working](/get-started/quickstart-admin),
a CSV of leads, and at least one active disposition

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a dial mode">
    Decide between preview, progressive, power, and predictive before you start — see
    [Dial modes](/outbound/dial-modes). Preview is the safest choice for a first campaign.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your dispositions">
    Define the outcomes your agents will use — see
    [Create dispositions](/outbound/dispositions/create-dispositions).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the campaign">
    Set its dial mode, abandonment cap, calling-hours windows, and dispositions — see
    [Create a campaign](/outbound/campaigns/create-a-campaign).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import your leads">
    Create a lead list with its own caller ID and import your CSV — see
    [Import a lead list](/outbound/leads/import-a-lead-list).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Load your compliance guardrails">
    Confirm your [DNC list](/compliance/dnc-lists) is current before you launch — Get2Dial
    checks it automatically, but it's only as good as what's in it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign agents">
    Add the agents who'll take this campaign's calls — see
    [Assign agents to a campaign](/outbound/campaigns/assign-agents).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the campaign">
    Select **Start** — see
    [Start, pause, and stop a campaign](/outbound/campaigns/start-pause-and-stop).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it dial">
    Watch live status on the [wallboard](/supervise/wallboard), and check
    [Call records](/reports/call-detail-records) for the calls it places.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you accomplished

A real campaign dialing real leads, connecting to your agents, with outcomes recorded as
dispositions.
