Launch is blocked
The campaign page lists what still stands between you and Launch. The wizard shows the same checks, one step at a time.It says Choose an attacker, or Choose who calls: pick an attacker before launching
It says Choose an attacker, or Choose who calls: pick an attacker before launching
The campaign has nobody to make the call. Open the Who calls step and pick an attacker from your list. If the list is empty, create one first. See Create an attacker.
It says Pick a campaign template or write the script for this campaign
It says Pick a campaign template or write the script for this campaign
A single-call campaign needs a script. This one has none, and the attacker has no script of its own to fall back on. Pick a campaign template at the top of the page, or write the script under Who calls. The server makes the same check, so an older campaign can show this on launch even when the wizard let it through. See Build a campaign.
It says Add at least one person to call, or Pick at least one person to call before launching
It says Add at least one person to call, or Pick at least one person to call before launching
No one is selected on the Who is called step. Open it and tick the people to test, or add them under People first. A help desk test does not need this, because it calls your help desk numbers instead. See Add the people you will call.
Who is called shows No Valid Consent and the wizard will not move on
Who is called shows No Valid Consent and the wizard will not move on
Every person you select must have a consent record. The panel says None of the selected contacts have valid TCPA consent. Campaign cannot proceed. when nobody selected has one. Open People, add the consent fields for each person, then come back and select them again. See Add the people you will call.
It says Choose a number to call from, or Pick the number to call from before launching
It says Choose a number to call from, or Pick the number to call from before launching
This appears only when the campaign uses the Vapi calling system, which needs a number of its own. Open From where and when and pick one of the numbers allocated to your workspace. The default calling system picks a number for you, so most campaigns never see this. See Your caller numbers.
It says Set an opening line, or This campaign has no opening line yet
It says Set an opening line, or This campaign has no opening line yet
A scripted single call must start with a fixed sentence. Set it on the campaign under Who calls, or give the attacker an opening line of its own, which the campaign uses when it has none. Sequences, autonomous campaigns, help desk tests and call-back traps write their own opener, so they never show this. See Create an attacker.
It says Set up the help desk test before launching
It says Set up the help desk test before launching
The help desk step is incomplete. It needs one to five help desk numbers in international format, opening hours, and at least one employee who has agreed to be impersonated. See Run a help desk test.
It says Finish the call-back trap settings before launching
It says Finish the call-back trap settings before launching
A call-back trap needs the message your staff receive and the objective the caller works towards. Fill both on the Call-back trap step. See Build a campaign.
It says Set when the calls happen before launching
It says Set when the calls happen before launching
The From where and when step needs a start date and at least one call at a time. Set both and the message goes. See Schedule, pacing and retries.
It says Give the campaign a name before launching
It says Give the campaign a name before launching
The name is on the Authorise and launch step. It must be between 1 and 100 characters, and the optional note at most 500. See Build a campaign.
It says Blocked: and then a name and the word withdrew
It says Blocked: and then a name and the word withdrew
The executive whose cloned voice this campaign uses has withdrawn consent. The clone was deleted, a draft campaign is blocked and a running one was paused. Open the campaign, choose a different voice, save, then launch again. See Clone an executive’s voice with consent.
Launch says no consent is recorded for this cloned voice
Launch says no consent is recorded for this cloned voice
A cloned voice can only be used after someone attests, or the person records, their consent. Open Voices, find the voice, and record the consent on its card. A voice whose consent record is incomplete shows the same refusal. See Add a voice.
Launch says the voice could not be found
Launch says the voice could not be found
The cloned voice the campaign points at no longer exists in your workspace. Open the campaign, pick another voice on the attacker or the campaign, and launch again. See Add a voice.
Launch says Campaign is already running
Launch says Campaign is already running
You can only launch a campaign that is a draft, failed or cancelled. This one is in progress. Pause it or wait for it to finish, then edit and launch again. See Pause, resume, stop everything.
Launch shows Out of red-team minutes
Launch shows Out of red-team minutes
Your workspace has used all of its simulation minutes for the current licence period, so no more calls can run. The window shows your licence, the minutes left and the price of extra minutes. Email hello@deepblocker.ai to top up or extend; minutes are not bought in the app. See When you run out.
Nothing is dialling
The campaign started but nobody has been called yet
The campaign started but nobody has been called yet
An immediate campaign still waits for the calling hours set on From where and when, so nobody is called at night. Tick Call right now, even outside my hours to dial straight away. A scheduled campaign waits for its start date, and a help desk test waits for the help desk’s opening hours. See Schedule, pacing and retries.
Some people were skipped and the page says Excluded, New joiner, Cooling off or Quarterly limit
Some people were skipped and the page says Excluded, New joiner, Cooling off or Quarterly limit
These are your Fair testing rules. Excluded means the person is on the excluded list or has a do-not-call date. New joiner means they were added less than the set number of days ago and have never been tested. Cooling off and Quarterly limit mean another campaign called them too recently, or too often in the last 90 days. The campaign skips the person; change the rule on the Fair testing page or wait. See Fair testing rules.
A person shows Quiet hours and has not been called
A person shows Quiet hours and has not been called
Quiet hours hold the call rather than skip it. The campaign tries again as soon as the quiet period ends, in the timezone you set. See Fair testing rules.

Your browser has not allowed the microphone, or the tab is muted. In Chrome, click the lock icon next to the address, set Microphone to Allow, then press Call again. Use headphones to stop your speakers feeding your microphone. See Take a test call in your browser.
The page says Could not connect the test call
The page says Could not connect the test call
The caller could not be set up, most often because its voice is unavailable. Press Call again once. If it fails again, check that the attacker has a voice with consent recorded, then try once more. See Take a test call in your browser.
Results
The result says No answer or Voicemail
The result says No answer or Voicemail
The person did not pick up, or the call reached voicemail, so there was no conversation. This counts as Not reached, not as a pass or a fail. With Try again when nobody answers on, the campaign makes up to three attempts, 60 minutes apart. See Read your results.
The result says Call failed
The result says Call failed
The call could not be completed at all. Check the person’s number under People: it must be a real number in international format. If the number is right and it fails again, write to contact@deepblocker.ai with the campaign name. See Read your results.
Importing people
The import says CSV validation failed and rows are missing required fields
The import says CSV validation failed and rows are missing required fields
Every row needs a name, a phone number and a role. If any row lacks one, the whole file is refused and nothing is imported. Fill the gaps and upload again. See Add the people you will call.
The import finished but some rows failed
The import finished but some rows failed
A row fails with Invalid phone number or Duplicate phone number. A number without a leading plus sign is read as a US number, so write every number in international format, for example +44 20 7946 0000. A number already in your workspace is skipped. See Add the people you will call.
The import says File too large
The import says File too large
The limit is 10 MB per file. Split the file and upload the parts one at a time. See Add the people you will call.
