The Power Dialer turns a list of contacts into a single, uninterrupted calling session. Instead of looking up each number, copying it, and dialing by hand, you build a queue once and Allo moves you from one call to the next automatically. Available on: Business plan Who can use it: Every team member has their own queue. Admins and managers can also build a queue for a teammate.

How it works

1

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.
2

Start dialing

Open the queue and press start. Allo dials the first number right away.
3

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.
4

Work the whole list

Allo keeps going until the queue is empty. Pause any time, and pick up where you left off later.
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.
Each entry can carry contact details — name and company — so you see who you’re calling before the line connects. When a number matches an existing contact, Allo links the call to it automatically.

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.
Allo waits for you to finish wrapping up before dialing the next number, so you stay in control of the pace.

Queue settings

Open the queue settings to tune how a session runs.
Give the queue a name so you can tell sessions apart — for example “Inbound demo requests” or “October cold list”.
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.
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.
1

Build the list

Create the queue and add numbers the same way you would for yourself.
2

Assign it to a teammate

Choose the teammate the queue is for. They must be on your team.
3

They take it from there

The queue shows up in the teammate’s account, ready to dial. You’re recorded as the creator; they’re the one who runs it.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
