Step 1: Setup your dialing pool.
- Curate a list of phone numbers that you would like to dial from — it is generally recommended to get multiple numbers per area code, but not strictly required.
- Send this list of phone numbers to Bland. They will send back a
pool_id
that you will specify when creating your outbound call requests.
Step 2: Create your outbound call request.
- Specify the
dialing_strategy
parameter withtype: "custom_pool"
in your outbound call request, providing the associatedpool_id
value that you received from Bland. For more details, see the documentation.
Cycling your numbers (Optional)
- Reach out to your Bland Contact to cycle your numbers. If needed, they can expose API endpoints to allow doing this programmatically.
