Batch Calls And Workflows Compared
The difference is execution shape.| Need | Batch Calls | Workflows |
|---|---|---|
| Call many recipients once | Excellent fit. | Possible, but often more setup. |
| Retry unanswered calls | Built into campaign retry settings. | Requires workflow routing design. |
| Wait before follow-up | Limited to retry interval. | Use Time nodes with minutes, hours, or days. |
| Branch on outcomes | Mostly through exports and follow-up lists. | Use call outputs and Condition nodes. |
| Send WhatsApp or email after a call | Not the core purpose. | Use Application nodes. |
| Debug one lead path | Use call logs and retry history. | Use lead history graph and call logs. |
