Voice Messaging

There are two main components in a voice messaging system: the message and the recipients. The right voice messaging service gives you options for how to handle both:

• Messages: Create your own for each situation, choose from a bank of options included with the service or merge the two by creating your own library of messages that can be tweaked as needed. Messages can be recorded in your own voice or automatically translated from a typed message to an audio recording in a natural sounding voice.
• Recipients: Set up as many contact groups and subgroups as you need. Common groups include employees, customers and vendors. Those can be broken down further based on a range of criteria, such as shift, location and product.

Three Simple Steps:

1. Prepare your message.
2. Select your recipient group.
3. Click “Send.”

The Process: Once you’ve done those three steps, the system delivers your message to everyone instantly. When recipients accept the call and the system detects a human on the line, the pre-recorded message is played. Voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) technology enables the system to detect if it’s reached a machine or voicemail, in which case it can deliver either the same pre-recorded message or an alternate version.

When you need to get the word out fast, the right automated voice message system will give you the speed and efficiency that makes a measurable difference. Instead of tying up staff time with hours on the phone, you can let automation take the wheel. And because automated voice messages are process driven, they’re triggered by preset parameters within your systems. This means when it comes to regular reminders, you can set it and forget it – the system takes care of follow-up and gives you comprehensive status reports whenever you need them. Here are just a few examples:

• Routine Messaging: Reduce the burden of administrative duties on your team by automating all regular reminders.
• Staffing: Call a list of employees and stop automatically when the shift is fully staffed.
• Scheduling and Feedback: Keep customers in the loop with appointments, service calls, renewal agreements and surveys.
• Scenario Calls: Send personalized messages for specific situations, such as:
  • School Administration: Send absentee notifications and low lunch balance alerts.
  • Property Management: Automate maintenance, rent reminders and past/late bills.

Automated voice messaging services are an effective way to relay information between organizations and their stakeholders. This is especially important during times of emergency when information needs to be conveyed quickly and with certainty.

Businesses and organizations everywhere have issues sending updates to their contacts. Email can be unreliable, text messages too short, and dialing phones too time consuming. If you’re facing this challenge, it’s time to think about an automated messaging service. Automated messaging services like allow you to send email, text, and phone messages to all or select groups of your contacts with a click of a button or one phone call.
