Contact Centre Feature

Voice Broadcast Campaigns

A voice broadcast plays a recorded message to a list of numbers. The part worth knowing about here is the cost estimate: you can estimate a campaign before running it, so the spend is a decision rather than a discovery on the invoice. Campaigns can be scheduled, started, paused, resumed and stopped, and results exported when they finish.

What Voice Broadcast gives you

Upload a contact list and an audio message, estimate what the run will cost before starting, schedule it, and export the results.

Estimate the cost before you run it

A campaign can be estimated up front, which is unusual and is the difference between a planned spend and a surprise.

Pause and resume mid-campaign

A campaign is not fire-and-forget: it can be paused, resumed or stopped while running.

Schedule for a sensible hour

Campaigns can be scheduled and unscheduled rather than having to be launched by hand.

Export results

Outcomes come out as data you can reconcile against your own records.

Your own audio

Upload the message you want played rather than assembling it from fragments.

How Voice Broadcast works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Upload your contact list and the audio message to play.

  2. 2

    Estimate the campaign to see what the run will cost.

  3. 3

    Schedule it for a permitted calling window, or start it immediately.

  4. 4

    Monitor it while it runs, pausing or stopping if needed.

  5. 5

    Export the results when the campaign completes.

What Voice Broadcast does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • This is a broadcast, not a dialer. There is no predictive or progressive dialing that connects answered calls to waiting agents - if you need agents on the other end, that is a different workflow.
  • It plays a message; it is not a conversation. For a call that responds to what the person says, use a voice agent.
  • Bulk outbound calling is regulated in India. Consent, timing windows and do-not-call obligations are yours to meet - see DNC compliance.

Common uses

  • Payment and renewal reminders

  • Event and appointment alerts

  • Emergency notifications

  • Service outage announcements
