# Outbound and dialer

> Run outbound calling campaigns: choose a dial mode, import leads, assign agents, and track dispositions.

A **campaign** dials a **lead list** using one of four dial modes, connects answered calls
to an assigned agent, and records the outcome as a **disposition**. This group covers
building and running one.

## How it fits together

```

A campaign owns its dial mode and pacing settings, dials from one or more lead lists
(imported after the campaign exists), sends connected calls to its assigned agents, and
requires at least one disposition so agents can record what happened. It reaches the phone
network through your [outbound routes](/voice/outbound-routes), so a working carrier is a
precondition, not a campaign setting.
