Details of Each Automated Message or Task Type

    You can pre-record your voice messages and select as an attachment using your media library.

Call Connect ( Outbound Calling Workflow Automation )

  • Call Connect is automatically triggered call to the sales person to connect to the lead. Sales person is called and when they answer and hear a whisper message to press one, the system then automatically calls the contact using the CallAction phone number.

    Calls are tracked, recorded and transcribed. If connected to a CRM the call is logged in the CRM automatically. 

Create Tag (can push via APIs or Zapier)

Email Image (Text Message with Image)

  • This will make an image copy of a parsed email and attach the image to a text message and send back to contact. Use with email notifications that contain images and send a copy of the information submitted back to the contact.
