When an agent makes an outbound call, the NewVoiceMedia platform Vonage Contact Center presents a number to the person they are calling. This number is a callback number. The person receiving the call can use the callback number to identify who the incoming call is from and optionally use the number to call the agent back another time. For more information about callback numbers, see Callback numbers.

If an account has multiple callback numbers, when an agent makes the outbound call, the agent can choose, in ContactPad, which callback number to present. The name of a callback number helps agents identify the correct callback number.

3. Open the downloaded CSV file in a text editor of your choice. Type new names for the callback numbers in the new name columns in the appropriate rows. Save your changes.
   

   Note
   Opening the downloaded CSV file in some programs will remove the leading zeros from callback numbers. You must correct the format of the telephone numbers before uploading the file. We recommend using a text editor rather than a dedicated spreadsheet editor to avoid the program removing the leading zeroes.
