# DialNexa Batch Calls Overview

> Understand DialNexa Batch Calls for outbound campaigns, including KYC readiness, selected outbound numbers, recipient CSVs, schedules, retries, drafts, and call history.

DialNexa Batch Calls let users call many recipients from a CSV file through a selected outbound phone number. The selected number must have an outbound agent version attached, the workspace may need KYC verification, and each recipient result can be reviewed through campaign-linked call logs.

<Warning>
  A batch call is a loop with money attached. Start small, review evidence, then scale.

## What A Batch Campaign Needs

Every campaign combines route, file, timing, and retry rules.

| Need               | Why it matters                                                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Verified workspace | Batch Calls can be disabled until KYC is verified; unverified workspaces can only call their registered number. See [KYC And Outbound Readiness](/platform/kyc-and-outbound-readiness). |
| Outbound number    | The number supplies the outbound agent id and version number.                                                                                                                           |
| Recipient CSV      | Rows provide phone numbers and dynamic variable values.                                                                                                                                 |
| Schedule           | Campaign can start now or at a selected time.                                                                                                                                           |
| Retries            | Retry count and interval decide follow-up attempts.                                                                                                                                     |
| Call History       | Each call attempt creates reviewable evidence.                                                                                                                                          |
