The call disposition — the outcome code an agent selects after each call — is the most powerful automation trigger in a CRM-integrated power dialer. A single disposition click can simultaneously update the pipeline, send a follow-up SMS, create a task, and schedule a callback. ## The Eight Built-In Dispositions ### 1. Interested **What it means:** The contact expressed interest in learning more or receiving a quote. **Automated actions:** - Pipeline stage moves to "Qualified" - Follow-up task created for next business day - Contact tagged with product interest discussed - Agent notification: "New qualified lead" ### 2. Appointment Set **What it means:** A meeting or call was scheduled. **Automated actions:** - Calendar event created with contact details - Pipeline stage moves to "Appointment Scheduled" - Confirmation SMS sent to contact - Reminder SMS queued for 1 hour before appointment ### 3. Callback **What it means:** The contact asked to be called back at a specific time. **Automated actions:** - Follow-up task created with specified date/time - Pipeline stage remains unchanged - Reminder notification sent to agent 15 minutes before callback - Contact flagged as "active - callback pending" ### 4. Voicemail **What it means:** Call went to voicemail; agent left (or didn't leave) a message. **Automated actions:** - Auto-sends SMS: "Hi [Name], I just tried to reach you about [topic]. Give me a call back at [number] or reply to this text." - Contact queued for re-dial in next session - Activity logged with voicemail timestamp ### 5. No Answer **What it means:** Phone rang but nobody picked up and no voicemail option. **Automated actions:** - Auto-sends SMS: "Hi [Name], sorry I missed you! I'm reaching out about [topic]. When's a good time to connect?" - Contact queued for re-dial in next session - After 3 no-answers, escalates to email outreach ### 6. Not Interested **What it means:** Contact declined the offer. **Automated actions:** - Pipeline stage moves to "Closed - Not Interested" - Contact removed from active calling lists - Optional: moves to long-term nurture sequence (re-engage in 6 months) - Reason captured in notes for win/loss analysis ### 7. Wrong Number **What it means:** The number reached someone who isn't the intended contact. **Automated actions:** - Phone number flagged as invalid - Contact moved to "Data Cleanup" queue - Number removed from future dialing sessions - If alternate number exists, it becomes the primary ### 8. DNC (Do Not Call) **What it means:** Contact explicitly requested no further calls. **Automated actions:** - Immediately added to internal DNC list - All future calling and texting blocked for this contact - DNC timestamp and method recorded for compliance - Contact removed from all active campaigns and sequences ## Custom Notes with Every Disposition Every disposition includes an optional notes field where agents can add context. These notes are saved directly to the contact's activity log and are visible in future dialer sessions — so the next time this contact appears, the agent sees exactly what happened. ## Enabling and Disabling Automations Not every session requires the same automations. Agents can toggle automations on/off per session: - Turn off SMS follow-ups when calling existing clients (they don't need "sorry I missed you" texts) - Disable auto-pipeline moves during re-engagement campaigns - Enable aggressive automation during high-volume AEP outreach ## FAQ ### undefined ### undefined ## Related - https://unlockedcrm.ai/blog/insurance-power-dialer-complete-guide-2026 - https://unlockedcrm.ai/blog/power-dialer-session-building-smart-lists --- Source: [Power Dialer Dispositions: Automate Your Post-Call Workflow](https://unlockedcrm.ai/blog/power-dialer-dispositions-automations) — unLocked CRM, the AI CRM built for insurance agents.
