What is Voice Broadcast?

Automated calling technology for reaching large groups at scale

Automated Phone Calls

Voice broadcast delivers automated phone calls to large groups of recipients simultaneously. Unlike ringless voicemail, voice broadcast makes actual calls that ring recipients' phones and can connect to live conversations.

Interactive IVR Menus

Configure interactive menus that allow recipients to respond by pressing keys on their phone (Press 1 for Yes, Press 2 for No, etc.). Responses are captured automatically and can trigger actions or updates.

Live Agent Routing

Route calls directly to your phone number or call center queue for live conversations. Transfer calls with context so agents know why each recipient is calling.

Personalized Messages

Use Mimic AI® voice cloning to personalize thousands of calls with recipient names, dates, amounts, and custom information. Dynamic fields are inserted naturally for conversational flow.

How Voice Broadcast Works

What is voice broadcast?
Voice broadcast delivers automated phone calls to large groups of recipients simultaneously.

You can configure interactive IVR menus for recipient responses or route calls to live agents.
What's the difference between voice broadcast and ringless voicemail?
Voice broadcast rings the phone and connects recipients to a live call (or IVR menu), while ringless voicemail uses ringless voicemail technology to deliver messages directly to voicemail.

Use ringless voicemail for non-urgent follow-ups, marketing messages, or when you want to minimize disruption to recipients.
When should I use voice broadcast vs. ringless voicemail?
Use voice broadcast for appointment confirmations, urgent alerts, payment reminders, or any communication requiring immediate attention or live interaction. Use ringless voicemail for lead follow-ups, marketing campaigns, or non-urgent notifications where recipients can listen later. Many businesses use both strategically based on message urgency and purpose.
Can I personalize voice broadcast calls?
Yes, voice broadcast supports full personalization through merge fields. Use Mimic AI® voice cloning to personalize thousands of calls with recipient names, dates, amounts, account details, and custom information. Dynamic fields are inserted and pronounced naturally to maintain conversational flow.
How do interactive IVR menus work?
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) menus allow recipients to respond by pressing keys on their phone. For example, Press 1 for Yes, Press 2 for No, or Press 1-5 for rating scales. All responses are captured automatically and can trigger actions like updating CRM records, confirming appointments, or routing to live agents.
