# Create a batch

> How to create and upload a batch for an active campaign related to Medical Records Agent using the Syllable Console interface.

A batch is a specific set of calls that will run under an active campaign. To create a batch, go to the **Campaigns** section, select your campaign, and click **New batch**.

You’ll then upload a call list - a CSV file - that contains the phone numbers you want the agent to call, along with any variables used in your prompt.\
\
Each row in the CSV represents a single call, and each column corresponds to a variable. At a minimum, your CSV must include two required fields:

* **reference\_id**: a unique ID for the record
* **target**: the phone number the agent should call

Additional columns can be included to support custom prompt variables. For example, if your prompt includes variables like provider-name and member-name, your CSV might look like this:
For example, if your prompt includes variables like` provider-name,` `provider-phone`, and `member-name`, your CSV will look like this:

| **reference\_id** | **target**  | **provider-office**         | **provider-name**  | **provider-address**                      | **provider-phone** | **member-name** | **member-dob**    |

When uploading the batch, you’ll also have the option to set an **expiration date** - after which the batch will no longer attempt calls - and to **auto-run** the batch so it starts placing calls immediately after upload. 

A sample CSV file is available for download as a link directly within the **Upload Batch** screen, which you can use as a template.
