How it works
Build a queue
Add the numbers you want to call. You can add contacts from your call list, paste numbers in bulk, or push a list from your CRM.
Talk, then move on
When a call ends, Allo automatically queues up the next contact. Tag the call, leave a note, and move forward — no manual dialing in between.
Each person has at most one active queue at a time. Building a new queue from scratch replaces the current one.
Build your queue
There are several ways to add numbers, and you can mix them in the same queue.From the call list
Select one or more contacts from your call list and add them to the queue.
Paste in bulk
Paste a list of phone numbers and Allo adds them all at once.
From your CRM
Push a filtered list of contacts from HubSpot, Salesforce, or any connected CRM straight into a queue.
Run a session
Open your queue from web.withallo.com or the desktop app and press Start. During a session you can:- See what’s next — the current contact and the upcoming ones are always visible.
- Pause and resume — stop between calls whenever you need a break, then continue from the same spot.
- Skip a contact — jump past a number without calling it.
- Tag and take notes — apply call tags and write notes between calls, before the next one starts.
Queue settings
Open the queue settings to tune how a session runs.
Queue name
Queue name
Give the queue a name so you can tell sessions apart — for example “Inbound demo requests” or “October cold list”.

Voicemail handling
Voicemail handling
Decide what happens when a call reaches voicemail. Allo can move on to the next contact automatically so you don’t sit through every greeting.

Do not disturb
Do not disturb
Mute incoming calls while you work through the queue, so an inbound call doesn’t interrupt your flow mid-session.
Manage a queue
A queue is editable while you build it and between calls.- Reorder — move high-priority contacts to the top.
- Remove a contact — drop a single number you no longer want to call.
- Clear the rest — remove every contact you haven’t reached yet, while keeping the ones you’ve already called.
- Reset — discard the queue entirely and start fresh.
Build a queue for a teammate
Admins and managers can prepare a queue for someone else on the team — useful for handing a rep a ready-to-go call list at the start of the day.A teammate can only have one active queue. Assigning a new queue to someone who already has one replaces it, so coordinate before pushing a list.
Tips for a productive session
Filter before you build. A focused list — one segment, one campaign — beats a giant unsorted queue. Use CRM filters to pull exactly the contacts you want. Let voicemail auto-advance. Turn on voicemail handling so the dialer skips ahead instead of making you wait through greetings. Turn on Do not disturb. Block inbound calls during a session so nothing breaks your rhythm. Tag as you go. Apply a call tag right after each call while it’s fresh. Your analytics stay clean and you don’t have to revisit calls later. Take short breaks. Pause between calls rather than abandoning the queue — your progress is saved either way.Troubleshooting
I don't see the Power Dialer
I don't see the Power Dialer
The Power Dialer is available on the Business plan. If you’re on Starter, upgrade from Settings > Billing. Also make sure you’re on the latest version of the Allo app.
A number won't add to my queue
A number won't add to my queue
Check that the number is in a valid format with a country code (for example +1 415 555 0142). Numbers Allo can’t recognize as dialable are skipped when you add a list in bulk.
The dialer keeps stopping on voicemail

Open the queue settings and turn on voicemail handling so the dialer moves to the next contact automatically instead of staying on the voicemail greeting.
Inbound calls interrupt my session

Enable Do not disturb in the queue settings. Incoming calls are held while you work through the list.

Each teammate can only have one active queue. If they already had one — or built a new one themselves — the queue you assigned is replaced. Confirm with your teammate before assigning a list.
