The DND Numbers module allows you to manage phone numbers that should not be contacted through certain communication channels. DND stands for Do Not Disturb — these are numbers where people have requested not to receive specific types of messages or calls. When you add a number to this list, the system remembers which channels to block, helping you respect preferences and stay compliant.
What are DND Numbers?Numbers on this list have one or more communication channels blocked (email, SMS, calls, voicemail, or inbound calls/SMS). The system uses this list to prevent sending messages or placing calls through blocked channels.

🚦 Understanding DND Status
The DND Status column shows colored badges indicating which communication channels are blocked for each number. Each badge type has a distinct color; a single number can have multiple badges if multiple channels are blocked (e.g. both DND Email and DND SMS).
| Badge | Color | Meaning |
|---|
| DND All | Red | Do not contact through any channel — no email, SMS, calls, or voicemail |
| DND Email | Blue | Do not send emails |
| DND SMS | Green | Do not send text messages |
| DND Call Voicemail | Yellow | Do not place calls or leave voicemails |
| DND Inbound Call SMS | Light blue | Do not allow incoming calls and SMS |

How it works:
- Find the number in the table and click the delete (trash) icon in the Action column
- A confirmation dialog appears asking “Are you sure?”
- Click OK to confirm deletion or Cancel to keep the number
- If you confirm, the number is removed from the list and a success message is shown
Warning: Deletion is permanent. To have the number on the list again, you must add it as a new entry.
🎛️ Filter Options and Search
Use the filters at the top of the page to narrow the list by date range and DND status; click “Filter” to apply. Use the search box above the table to find entries by first name, last name, area code, email, who added the entry, or created date — results update as you type (case-insensitive, partial matches supported).
Date range: Choose a predefined period (Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last 7 Days, Last 14 Days, This Month, Last 30 Days, Last Month, etc.) or Custom dates to pick your own start and end date. For Custom dates, the Start Date and End Date fields become active; click them to open the calendar. Click “Filter” to apply. Dates follow your account’s time zone.
| Option | What it includes |
|---|
| Custom dates | Your own start and end date |
| Today | Numbers added today only |
| Yesterday | Numbers added yesterday |
| This Week (Sun - Today) | From Sunday of current week to today |
| This Week (Mon - Today) | From Monday of current week to today |
| Last 7 Days | Past 7 days including today |
| Last Week (Sun - Sat) | Previous Sunday through Saturday |
| Last Week (Mon - Sun) | Previous Monday through Sunday |
| Last Business Week (Mon - Fri) | Previous Monday through Friday |
| Last 14 Days | Past 14 days including today |
| This Month | First day of current month to today |
| Last 30 Days | Past 30 days including today |
| Last Month | Entire previous month |
DND status: Open the “DND Status” dropdown and select All, DND all channels, Emails, Text Messages, Calls & Voicemails, or DND Inbound Calls and SMS, then click “Filter” to show only entries matching that status.
⚙️ How the Module Works
When you add a number: The system stores all information you provide and your DND Status selections, records who added the number and when, and which company it belongs to. The number is immediately active and used to block the selected channels.
When you edit: You can change any contact or DND fields. DND Status checkbox changes are saved immediately; clicking Submit saves the rest (name, phone, email, area code, etc.).
DND status logic: DND all channels is the most restrictive and clears individual channel options. Individual options (Emails, Text Messages, Calls & Voicemails) can be combined. DND Inbound Calls and SMS is independent and can be combined with others or used alone. Selecting DND all channels clears individual channels; selecting an individual channel clears DND all channels.
Phone number formatting: You can enter the number in any format (with or without dashes, spaces, or parentheses); the system converts it automatically. Time zone: All dates and times are shown in your account’s time zone. Company restrictions: Non-administrators see only their company’s DND numbers; administrators see all companies. The system tracks company per number automatically.
