One key confirms, and the answer is saved against the contact.
Each answer to a question is a key, and every answer is saved against the contact.
What Is Voice Broadcasting, and How Does It Work?
Voice broadcasting sends one recorded message to a whole list of phone numbers by automated call, so nobody on your team dials. With Adoptiv’s voice broadcasting software, the message is a recording you upload or a text-to-speech voice broadcast, with each person’s name merged into the words.
You pick the list or a segment of it, the sending hours in each recipient’s time zone, the caller ID, and how many times and how far apart to retry numbers that didn’t connect. As each call is picked up, detection decides whether a person or an answering machine answered. A person hears the message live; a machine gets it as a voicemail drop.
A voice broadcast with press 1 turns automated voice messages into conversations. One key puts the person through to your team, another confirms, and survey questions take an answer on the keypad. Until someone presses, no rep’s phone rings. Delivery and key presses show while the campaign runs, then are saved on each contact.
Voice broadcasting vs auto dialer: a broadcast has no pacing, no lines per rep and no abandon limit to set, because nobody is waiting. If you want reps talking to every answer, use the auto dialer. Keep the numbers you call from healthy with caller ID reputation. You must offer an opt-out, and consent rules differ by region; the TCPA Command Center holds calling rules by state.

| Answering machines | Reps calling every number: A rep listens, then leaves a message | With Adoptiv: Detected, and your message left as a voicemail |

Voice Broadcasting Questions, Answered.
What is voice broadcasting?
Sending one recorded or text-to-speech message to a whole list of phone numbers by automated call. People who answer hear it live and can press a key to talk to someone or respond.
How does press 1 work?
Your message invites people to press a key. One key puts them through to your team, another confirms, and survey questions each take an answer on the keypad.
What happens when an answering machine picks up?
Each pickup is classed as a person or a machine as it answers. A machine gets your message dropped as a voicemail instead of dead air.
Is voice broadcasting legal?
It can be, but prerecorded calls are among the most tightly regulated in the US: consent rules depend on the type of call and the line you call, and every message needs a way to opt out. This is general information, not legal advice; check your campaigns with your own counsel.
What is the difference between voice broadcasting and an auto dialer?
An auto dialer connects reps to everyone who answers. Voice broadcasting plays a message to everyone, and only people who press a key reach a rep, so there is no pacing or abandon limit to set.
Can I use text-to-speech instead of a recording?
Yes. Type the message and it is read aloud, with each person’s name merged into the words.
Do I need consent for voice broadcasting?
Usually, yes. In the US, prerecorded marketing calls generally need the person’s prior consent, often in writing, and every message needs a way to opt out. This is general information, not legal advice; check your campaigns with your own counsel.
Which caller ID do broadcasts use?
You pick one per campaign from the numbers you hold, and it is shown on every attempt.
Are broadcast results saved in the CRM?
Yes. Delivery and key presses show while it runs, then are written to each contact.
