New in Connecta · October 2026 release

What's new
this release.

New

Interaction Analytics

Every call is transcribed from its recording after it ends and reviewed by AI: a summary, customer sentiment (overall and at the end), how long the agent talked, script adherence, objections and topics.

New

Compliance checks on every call

The review checks whether the recording notice was given, whether the AI disclosure was given, and whether an opt-out was requested and honoured — on every call, not a sample.

New

Scorecards with evidence

Define what good looks like — yes/no checks, objectives met and 1–5 scores, from templates or your own, per campaign. The AI answers each item for every call and quotes the transcript as evidence.

New

Click a quote, hear the moment

The analysis sits under the recording player. Click any quote or transcript line and the audio jumps to that moment.

New

Triggers

“When X, then Y” rules on what the AI finds: flag the call for review, email someone, tag the lead, add the number to do-not-call (opt-out rules), or send a signed webhook to another system.

New

Review queue & results

Flagged calls wait in a queue for a manager to check and mark reviewed. The results view shows scorecard pass rates, compliance flags, top objections, sentiment and per-agent figures — every number opens the calls behind it.

New

Every call recorded

Calls that never reached an agent — voicemail, no answer, AI-handled — are now stored and linked in call history too, without ever overwriting an agent recording.

New

AI practice customers

New agents practise against AI customers with their own personality and objections, who warm to clear, honest agents and push back on pushy or vague ones. Started from My queue, with hold music, the script, recording and the outcome form — exactly like a real call.

New

Agent Assist, more reliable

Live transcription and tips during the call; at the end, a summary pre-fills the wrap-up and stays on the call, the lead’s history and My Calls. If transcription has a problem, the call carries on and Assist goes quiet.

New

Wallboard modes

A “needs attention” mode that shows only the agents and queues that need action, and a figures-only mode for big screens.

In testing

Connecta Reach

An AI that does the “get through to the right person” part of B2B calls: navigates phone menus, waits on hold, asks the receptionist for the named contact, leaves a voicemail when invited, takes a callback time — and hands over to a human agent once the right person is on the line.

What makes Connecta different

Built to keep your numbers
connecting.

Most dialers just place calls. Connecta protects the thing that actually drives revenue — your answer rate — and pairs human agents with AI on one platform, not two contracts.

Caller-ID reputation

Catch a number going “Spam Likely” before your connect rate does

Connecta links to calleridreputation.com to monitor your outbound numbers across the major spam-flagging databases and track their STIR/SHAKEN attestation. When a number starts getting flagged, it surfaces on the dashboard — so you can rest it and swap in a clean one before answer rates collapse.

Precall

Warm the lead with an SMS, seconds before you dial

Precall sends a short, personalised text just ahead of the call, so the number that rings is one the customer already recognises. If they reply STOP, the call is cancelled automatically and the number is suppressed across every campaign.

AI voice agent

An AI voice agent on the same platform — not bolted on

Run the AI voice agent as a safety net when no agent is free, or AI-first with a live hand-over to a human, transcript and record included. Uncertain answering-machine results go to the AI instead of a silent drop, every AI-handled call plays a disclosure, and Agent Assist gives human agents live transcription, summaries and prompts.

CRM screen-pop

The right CRM record on screen the moment the call connects

Connecta matches the live call to your CRM and pops the customer record the instant your agent answers, then writes the outcome back on disposition. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM and FLG360 connectors are live, and linked apps put your other tools in the Connecta menu.

Number health

Frequency limits and calling hours, enforced on every dial

Daily and weekly contact limits per number, daily caps per outbound number, and calling hours per campaign or organization — including days of the week — applied to all automatic dialing. Callbacks the customer booked are always honoured.

Supervise & transfer

Listen, whisper, barge — with amber and red timer warnings

Supervisors see every agent’s state and timer, with amber and red warnings before a wrap-up or pause runs long, plus listen-in, whisper and barge and a full-screen wallboard for the wall.

Campaign control

The right lead, to the right agent, at the right time

Assign teams and agents per campaign and rank campaigns by priority. Choose the dial order — oldest, newest, fewest calls, longest since last call or random — with retries timed by outcome and an optional cap on calls per lead.

Connecta Script

From first call to signed LOA in one conversation

A guided qualification form inside the live call — company, decision makers, sites, meters and rates — then a one-click intro email and a Letter of Authorization e-signed through DocuSign, tracked and stored automatically. Built for commercial energy brokers.

AI practice customers

New starters rehearse on AI customers before real ones

Trainees practise realistic AI role-play calls — objections, gatekeepers, callbacks — inside the same platform, so their first live call isn’t their first call.

See it in action

Every seat,
one platform.

Supervisors get a live console over the whole tenant; agents get a workspace that pops the right record the moment a call connects, and AI customers to practise on first. No tab-juggling, no second tool.

Supervisor console

Watch every live call —
step in when it matters.

A real-time view of every agent's state and timer — with amber and red warnings before a wrap-up or pause runs long — and every live call, refreshed every two seconds. Listen, whisper, or barge on any active call, and keep an eye on number health and abandon rate before they cost you connects.

  • →Agent state timers with amber and red warnings
  • →Listen / whisper / barge on any in-progress call
  • →Full-screen wallboard for wall displays, one click from the menu
  • →Teams with team admins, isolation and team-level thresholds

Interaction Analytics

Every call reviewed —
not a 2% sample.

After each call ends, Connecta transcribes the recording and reviews it: summary, sentiment, talk time, script adherence and objections, plus compliance checks for the recording notice, the AI disclosure and opt-outs. Your scorecard is answered for every call, with the transcript line as evidence — click it and the recording jumps to that moment.

  • →Scorecards: yes/no checks, objectives and 1–5 scores, per campaign
  • →Triggers: flag for review, email, tag the lead, add an opt-out to do-not-call, signed webhook

Four dialing modes

Match the dialer
to the campaign.

Switch dialing mode per campaign, per list, per team — without leaving the platform or calling support.

Predictive

Dials multiple numbers per agent and connects only live answers. Maximum talk time for large, clean lists.

Best for
High-volume sales & lead-gen

Power

One call per available agent, so it never abandons. Faster than manual, more controlled than predictive.

Best for
Mid-size teams, warmer lists

Preview

Agents see the lead and record before the call connects. Best for high-value or complex accounts.

Best for
Account management, B2B

Manual

Click-to-call with full screen pop and logging. The compliant default when consent rules demand it.

Best for
Regulated & sensitive calls
Built for US outbound compliance

Every call signed,
scrubbed, and logged.

TCPA exposure is the most expensive thing most US contact centers underestimate — statutory damages run $500 per call, trebled to $1,500 for willful violations, with no cap. The dialer is built so the safe path is the default one.

Hostcomm provides the controls and the audit trail. Your consent and policies determine compliance — and nothing here is legal advice.

1

STIR/SHAKEN attestation

SIGNED

US outbound calls carry A-level attestation through our US carrier, so carriers are less likely to label you “Spam Likely” — and Connecta reads each number’s attestation and spam status continuously.

2

DNC + reassigned-number scrubbing

SCRUBBED

Lists are scrubbed against the National Do Not Call Registry and reassigned-number databases before a single number is dialed.

3

Calling hours on every automatic dial

TIMED

Set calling hours per campaign or per organization, including days of the week, in the contact’s local time. The default is the federal 8am–9pm; run Florida, Oklahoma, Maryland or Washington contacts with an 8pm stop.

4

Contact-frequency limits

CAPPED

Daily and weekly limits per number — so you can match state caps such as Florida’s three calls in 24 hours — with callbacks the customer booked always honoured.

5

Abandon-rate cap and abandoned-call message

PACED

Predictive pacing pauses automatically at your abandon-rate ceiling (for example the TSR’s 3%), and a recorded message plays if no agent is free.

6

DNC and STOP on every dial path

SUPPRESSED

Do-not-call and SMS STOP are respected in manual, preview, power and predictive dialing alike; a lead-level DNC covers the number across every campaign.

7

AI disclosure on AI-handled calls

DISCLOSED

Every call handled by the AI voice agent plays a disclosure. The FCC treats AI voices as “artificial voice” under the TCPA, so the same consent rules apply.

8

Consent records and audit log

LOGGED

Attach each contact’s consent record (source, timestamp, seller). Opt-outs, revocations, every dial attempt and every configuration change are logged and exportable.

Questions buyers actually ask

Straight answers.

What TCPA controls does Connecta include?

National DNC and reassigned-number scrubbing before each dial, calling hours per campaign or organization (including days of the week) in the contact’s local time, a consent record per lead, do-not-call and SMS STOP honoured on every dial path, daily and weekly contact-frequency limits per number, per-number dial caps, and a timestamped audit log of every attempt and configuration change. Hostcomm provides the controls and the audit trail; whether a campaign is compliant depends on your own consent and policies, and this isn’t legal advice.

Can a predictive dialer keep abandoned calls under the 3% limit automatically?

Yes. Connecta’s predictive pacer runs with a live abandon-rate cap set per campaign — for example the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule’s 3% — and pauses the campaign automatically when the rate reaches it. When no agent is free, a recorded abandoned-call message plays automatically and the number is held back from redial. The cap and the message apply whether or not you also use the AI safety net.

Is there a dialer that texts customers before calling and cancels the call if they reply STOP?

Yes — that is Connecta’s Precall SMS. A short personalised text goes out before the dial so the customer recognises the number that rings. If they reply STOP, the call is cancelled automatically and the number is suppressed across every campaign. Text messages have their own consent rules (and in some states, such as Texas, marketing texts count as telephone solicitation), so check your consent covers SMS.

How does Connecta handle state calling-hour and call-frequency rules?

Calling hours are set per campaign or per organization, including days of the week, and apply to all automatic dialing. The default is the federal 8am–9pm in the contact’s local time; several states are narrower — Florida, Oklahoma, Maryland and Washington stop at 8pm, and Texas has later Sunday hours — so run those contacts in a campaign with the tighter window. Daily and weekly contact limits per number let you match state caps such as Florida’s three calls in 24 hours. This isn’t legal advice.

How does Connecta handle STIR/SHAKEN?

US outbound calls carry STIR/SHAKEN A-level attestation via our US carrier. Connecta also reads each number’s attestation and spam-flag status through calleridreputation.com, pulls flagged numbers out of rotation automatically, and applies daily call limits per number.

What happens when answer-machine detection isn’t sure?

Most dialers make a binary human-or-machine call, and when they get it wrong they drop a live person into silence. Connecta routes three ways: human to an agent, machine to a drop or message, and uncertain to the AI voice agent, which talks to whoever answered and hands over live to a human if it’s a real conversation. AMD outcomes are reported and the detection rules are tunable.

Do AI-handled calls tell the customer they are speaking to AI?

Yes. Connecta plays an AI disclosure on every AI-handled call. The FCC treats AI-generated voices as “artificial voice” under the TCPA, so the usual consent rules for those calls still apply.

Can new agents practise on AI customers before taking live calls?

Yes. Connecta’s AI practice customers are scenarios your admins set up — a friendly small-business owner, a skeptical director who is in contract, a gatekeeper — each with its own personality, objections and made-up account details. The AI warms to clear, honest agents and pushes back on pushy or vague ones. Agents start a practice call from My queue and it runs exactly like a real call: hold music, the script, recording and the outcome form. Nobody real is called, and the same call path lets you test a campaign end to end before it goes live.

Can AI review every call for quality and compliance?

Yes. Connecta’s Interaction Analytics transcribes every call from its recording after it ends and reviews it: summary, sentiment, agent talk time, script adherence, objections, and compliance checks for the recording notice, the AI disclosure and whether an opt-out was requested and honoured. Your own scorecard is answered for every call with a quoted line from the transcript as evidence, and clicking the quote jumps the recording to that moment. Triggers can flag calls for review, email a manager, tag the lead, add an opted-out number to do-not-call or send a webhook.

What is Connecta Reach?

Connecta Reach is an AI that handles the “get through to the right person” part of B2B calling: it navigates phone menus, waits on hold, asks the receptionist or gatekeeper for the named contact, leaves a voicemail when invited and takes a callback time — then hands the call to a human agent once the right person is on the line. If no agent is free at that moment, it apologises and books a callback rather than leaving dead air. Reach is in testing and not yet generally available; ask us about early access.

Can we get a Letter of Authorization e-signed during the call?

Yes, with Connecta Script. The agent completes a guided qualification form in the live call (company, decision makers, sites, meters and rates), sends a one-click introduction email to the decision maker, and issues the Letter of Authorization for e-signature through DocuSign. Signing status is tracked automatically and every signed document is stored, searchable and downloadable. Built for commercial energy brokers and other teams that need a signed authority.

How does Connecta decide which lead to dial next?

Per campaign: oldest or newest first, fewest calls first, longest since last call, or random, with retries or new leads first. Campaign priority decides which campaign gets a free agent first, and retries are timed automatically by call outcome, with an optional maximum calls per lead.

How is Connecta different from Convoso or ReadyMode?

Three things. Precall sends a personalised SMS before the dial — and cancels the call if the customer replies STOP. The AI voice agent runs on the same platform and contract, answering calls when no agent is free and handing over live to a human, rather than being an add-on. And the contract is month-to-month with same-day setup, where Convoso requires 20 seats and negotiates terms and ReadyMode publishes from $199 per license.

How quickly can we go live?

Same-day setup is standard. There’s no hardware and no software to install — upload your list, set your campaign, connect your CRM and start dialing. Built-in test numbers let you check everything end to end first, and a free trial is available.

What’s the difference between predictive and power dialing?

A predictive dialer places several calls per agent and connects only live answers, maximizing talk time on large lists. A power (progressive) dialer places one call per available agent so it never abandons — the right choice for warmer or smaller lists. Connecta includes predictive, power, preview and manual modes, set per campaign.

Which CRMs does Connecta integrate with?

Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM and FLG360 are live: the matching record pops the moment an agent answers and the outcome is written back on disposition. For Zoho CRM, Connecta can also push qualified leads into Zoho with a completed call activity, the agent's notes, an AI call summary and the recording link, so cold lists stay in Connecta (https://www.hostcomm.net/integrations/zoho-crm). A script app hook opens your own call script in the live call, and linked apps put your other tools in the Connecta menu.

Can a BPO run several clients on one Connecta account?

Yes. Connecta is multi-client with role-based access (admin, supervisor, billing and agent), team isolation, and client cost and SMS billing, so each client’s data, numbers and reporting stay separate.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The dialer runs entirely in the browser over WebRTC. Agents log in from any computer with a headset and internet connection — ideal for office, hybrid or fully remote teams.

Where is our data hosted?

Hostcomm LLC runs on AWS with US-region infrastructure and 24/7 US support, on a dedicated instance per customer. Hostcomm has built contact-centre technology since 2004 and holds PCI DSS Level 1 certification.

Can it handle inbound calls too?

Yes. Inbound calls route to people or to the AI agent with number mapping, and inbound calls still reach agents while predictive dialing is running.
