CloudTalk Dialer Not Accessible or Not Activated

User level: Admin

---

​

Symptoms

• The Dialer tab is missing from the CloudTalk app
• No campaigns appear for the user
• Only AI Sales Dialer: Sequential Mode appears, but AI Sales Dialer: Parallel Mode is not available.
• Dialer loads as a blank screen
• Dialer worked earlier but disappeared after a subscription or add-on change.
• Campaign has contacts but the Dialer shows “No contacts available to call at this time”

​

Root Causes and How to Fix Them

​

⚠️ Your plan does not include CloudTalk Dialer

Dialer availability is based on your subscription plan.

​

AI Sales Dialer: Sequential Mode (1 line)

• Included automatically in the Expert plan
• Available on other plans only when the Dialer add-on is activated

​

AI Sales Dialer: Parallel Mode (2+ lines)

• Requires a Parallel Mode add-on
• Trial accounts can use up to five parallel calls, but only when the add-on is active

​

How to check your plan

You can verify your plan in the Dashboard:

1. Open the Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings > Billing.
3. Look at Current plan and services.
4. Check which plan you are on (for example, Essential, Expert).

The Billing page shows the plan name, but it does not list Dialer add-ons directly.

​

⚠️ The user is not assigned to any Dialer campaign

If the Dialer tab appears but remains empty, the user is likely not assigned to any campaign.

​

How to check

1. Open the Dashboard.
2. Select Dialer, then open Campaigns.
3. Choose an active campaign.
4. In the Assign agents or Assign groups section, confirm that the user is listed.
5. If the user is missing, add them and save.

Ask the user to reload the Dialer tab. If campaign assignment was missing, campaigns will now appear.

​

⚠️ Campaigns were created in the legacy system

CloudTalk Dialer displays only campaigns created in the current Dialer module. Campaigns created in the legacy Dashboard or older admin tools will not appear in the Dialer tab.

​

Fix

Recreate the campaign by using: Dashboard > Dialer > Campaigns > Add Campaign Assign agents again and save the new campaign. Only campaigns created here will display for Dialer users

​

⚠️ The device or operating system is not supported

CloudTalk Dialer requires a supported version of Windows or macOS. The following systems are no longer supported and will not receive updates:

• Windows 7
• Windows 8 and 8.1
• All 32-bit versions of Windows
• macOS 10.13, 10.14, 10.15

On these systems the Dialer may:

• appear but never load
• show a blank screen
• freeze or fail to start sessions

​

Fix

Use one of the supported systems:

• Windows 10
• Windows 11
• macOS 11 or later

If the device cannot be updated, use the Web Dialer in Google Chrome.

​

⚠️ The campaign is inactive or contains no eligible contacts

Even if the Dialer feature is active, users might not see campaigns if:

• The campaign is paused or inactive
• No contacts match the selected tags or CRM lists
• All contacts reached the maximum number of attempts
• Retry timing places every contact into the future
• The campaign was archived or misconfigured

​

How to check

1. Open Dialer in the Dashboard.
2. Select Campaigns.
3. Open the campaign and review:
   • Status is set to Active
   • Contacts appear in the Contacts list
   • Attempts per contact are not set to zero
   • Hours between attempts are not excessively high

Adjust the configuration if needed and restart the Dialer session.

​

⚠️ Timezone Calling Protection is filtering out contacts

If your campaign has contacts but the Dialer shows “No contacts available to call at this time,” the cause may be Timezone Calling Protection. This feature restricts outbound dialer calls to between 08:00 and 21:00 in each contact’s local time zone. If all of your contacts are currently outside that window, none will appear as callable. Timezone Calling Protection is enabled by default when a campaign is created. It is not visible in the campaign edit UI and cannot be toggled through the API.

​

How to check

If your campaign has contacts with phone numbers in time zones where it is currently before 08:00 or after 21:00 local time, and the Dialer shows no available contacts, Timezone Calling Protection is likely the cause. To confirm or adjust this setting, contact CloudTalk Support and include your campaign name and the time zones your contacts are in. Our team can verify whether the timezone restriction is active and disable it if needed.

​

⚠️ AI Sales Dialer: Parallel Mode is not enabled

AI Sales Dialer: Parallel Mode will not appear if:

• The Parallel Dialer add-on is not active
• The campaign does not have Parallel Calling enabled
• The user is not assigned to that campaign

​

How to check

1. Open the campaign in Dialer > Campaigns.
2. In Basic Settings, find the Parallel Calling section.
3. Confirm that Parallel Calling is turned on and the number of parallel calls is set.
4. Ensure that the user is assigned to the campaign.

Only campaigns with Parallel Calling enabled will offer AI Sales Dialer: Parallel Mode features.

​

⚠️ The Dialer tab is cached incorrectly or the session is stale

Sometimes the Dialer exists and is activated, but the application session has not refreshed correctly.

​

Fix

1. Log out of the CloudTalk app.
2. Close it completely.
3. Open the app again and log in.
4. Navigate back to the Dialer tab.

This reloads the user’s feature set and campaign visibility.

​

When to Contact Support

If the Dialer still does not appear after all checks above, please contact CloudTalk Support and include:

• The email address of the affected user
• Workspace name
• Whether the Dialer tab itself is missing or campaigns are missing
• Screenshots of the Settings > Billing page
• Screenshots of the user’s campaign assignment
• The operating system and app version
• Whether the Dialer worked at any time in the past
