How Do Not Call (DNC) Scrubbing Works

Updated this week

Call Loop now supports automatic Do Not Call (DNC) scrubbing and validation for Voice Broadcast and Ringless Voicemail campaigns.

This feature checks your contacts against Do Not Call databases and automatically marks them as DNC = Yes or No, helping you stay compliant and avoid sending restricted voice messages.


What Is DNC Scrubbing?

DNC Scrubbing validates phone numbers against Do Not Call databases.

When enabled, the system:

  • Checks contact numbers

  • Updates their DNC status

  • Blocks DNC contacts from Voice and Ringless campaigns

This helps reduce compliance risk and protect your account.


How to Enable DNC Lookup

  1. Go to Usage

  2. Turn on DNC Lookup

  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Lookup only new contacts

    • Lookup all existing contacts

Lookup Options Explained

Lookup New Contacts Only
Only newly added contacts will be validated. Previously added contacts will remain unvalidated unless manually checked.

Lookup All Existing Contacts
The system will validate your entire contact list, including previously added contacts.


Validation Statuses

After validation, contacts will be marked as:

  • DNC = No โ†’ Eligible for Voice and Ringless campaigns

  • DNC = Yes โ†’ Blocked from Voice and Ringless campaigns

New contacts may temporarily show Validation Pending while processing.


Where to View DNC Contacts

You can view DNC contacts by:

  • Going to the Contacts page

  • Selecting the DNC tab

This shows all contacts marked as Do Not Call.


Campaign & Trigger Behavior

Voice Broadcasts

Contacts marked as DNC = Yes will automatically be skipped.

Ringless Voicemail

Contacts marked as DNC = Yes will automatically be skipped.

SMS Campaigns

SMS messages will still send unless restricted separately.

In automated campaigns and triggers, DNC contacts will be marked as skipped to ensure compliance.


Manual Validation

You can manually validate individual contacts:

  1. Open a contact record

  2. Click Validate

  3. The system will check and update the DNC status


Lookup Costs

Each DNC lookup is billed per validation.
Pricing is calculated based on your planโ€™s credit rate.

You can review usage from the Usage page.


Best Practices

We recommend:

  • Validating all contacts before launching large Voice or Ringless campaigns

  • Enabling automatic validation for new contacts

  • Periodically reviewing your DNC list


Why This Matters

DNC Scrubbing helps you:

  • Stay compliant

  • Reduce risk

  • Protect your sender reputation

  • Prevent restricted voice sends

  • Maintain clean contact records
