# How to activate call capping

| Call capping is most effective when combined with Sequential or Weighted call distribution. See: [How to enable sequential routing](https://help.nimbata.com/en/article/how-to-enable-sequential-call-routing-1qv7dmz/) and [How to enable weighted routing](https://help.nimbata.com/en/article/how-to-enable-weighted-call-routing-1kr8mni/).

**Call capping** sets a maximum number of calls a destination number can receive per day. 
Once the cap is reached, Nimbata stops routing calls to that destination for the rest of the day. 
Use it to protect agent capacity, control advertising spend, or enforce fair-distribution SLAs.

### Step 1. Open the Call Capping panel

* Go to [Tracking > Destinations](https://app.nimbata.com/tracking/destinations).
* Click **Call Capping** in the top-right corner.

### Step 2. Enable call capping for a destination number

* Toggle on the switch next to the destination number(s) you want to cap.

| The default cap is 10 calls per day, starting from the day of activation.
