What runs today, and from what data
Six checks exist. Three run on every account from the first call. Three depend on data that has to be set up or loaded, and until it is, the Call Record says "skipped" with the reason. This page is the current state, updated whenever a list is loaded.
As of October 7, 2026. Rows marked placeholder are awaiting a real figure or a named source; they are not claims.
Short version. Opt-outs, consent and calling hours run for everyone today. The National Do Not Call check needs the calling business's own FTC registration number on file and the registry data for its area codes loaded; no business has one yet. No state do-not-call list and no litigator list is loaded yet, so those two checks say "skipped" on every record until they are. We would rather say so here than let a "skipped" surprise you on your first record.
The six checks
| Check | Runs today? | Source | Records loaded | Last update | Refresh | Known gaps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Opt-outs | Yes, every account | Your own account's ledger: STOP texts (Twilio, Telnyx, JSON webhooks), Retell and Vapi end-of-call transcripts, GoHighLevel, the API | Per account | Live, applied within seconds | Continuous | Unclear messages ("not interested") are flagged for a person and are not applied until someone decides; the clock runs while they wait |
| 2. Known TCPA litigators | No. Skipped on every record | Placeholder: no list loaded. Candidate sources are a licensed feed (for example DNC.com Litigator Scrub or Blacklist Alliance) or a list built from public court dockets; neither is in place | 0 | None | None | A number not on a litigator list is not "clean"; this check only ever catches known names |
| 3. National Do Not Call Registry | Only for a business with its own FTC subscription account number (SAN) on file and its area codes loaded | FTC National Do Not Call Registry, downloaded under each business's own SAN (telemarketing.donotcall.gov). One business's registration is never used for another | 0 businesses with a SAN; 0 area codes loaded | None yet | Will be re-downloaded at least every 31 days per SAN; a file older than that is treated as not loaded | First five area codes are free from the FTC; each one after is $85 a year, paid by the business to the FTC. We file registrations on paid plans; on Free the business files its own |
| 4. State Do Not Call lists | No. Skipped on every record | Placeholder: no state list loaded. States with their own registries include FL, IN, LA, MA, MO, OK, PA, TN, TX and WY; each is obtained from the state and most require the caller to register with the state first | 0 states | None | None | Where a state applies its list by registration rather than area code, a ported number can be on a list its area code does not suggest |
| 5. Consent on file | Yes, every account | Your own consent records: the web-form snippet, the hosted consent page, the GoHighLevel action, or the API | Per account | Live | Continuous | Consent a lead vendor claims is not a record here unless you import it. Required by default on both channels since Oct 7, 2026; a caller can set require_consent to false and the record says so |
| 6. Calling hours | Yes, every account | Federal 8 am to 9 pm plus 25 states' rules, each cited to its statute in the API docs | 25 state rules | Reviewed Sept 29, 2026 against the linked sources | On each statute change | Location is inferred from the area code; ported mobiles can be elsewhere. The rules have not yet been reviewed by a lawyer |
Not covered yet
- The FCC Reassigned Numbers Database. A number that changed hands after consent was given is not detected.
- Per-24-hour call frequency caps in Florida, Maryland, Oklahoma and Oregon. The rule is listed in the hours table but is not enforced.
- SMS carrier and 10DLC registration. For texts, Call Clearance covers the opt-out ledger, consent and calling hours only.
- Numbers outside the United States.
How a "skipped" check reads on the record
Each skipped check carries its reason in plain words, for example "no litigator list loaded on this deployment" or "this client has no active FTC subscription (SAN: none), so the registry cannot be checked for it". The top of every Call Record counts them: "Of 6 checks, 2 passed, 3 could not run." A skipped check is never counted as passed, and an "allow" means no blocking rule matched among the checks that ran.
