Send A Voice Mail Broadcast

We integrate with a cloud based technology (CallFire) so you can send a recorded messages to a group of people in your Infusionsoft database.  Voice broadcasts are sent same day (not on a scheduled date), but you can limit the message to specific hours (so you don't wake someone up in the middle of the night!). The times are in US / Eastern Standard Time. There is an additional charge of 15 cents per minute for each contact dialed. If you send a two minute message, then the cost per contact is 30 cents. This fee is added to your regular Infusionsoft billing.

Get Permission! Voice broadcasts are a permission-based marketing tool. All Infusionsoft users must comply with the U.S. FTC regulations and obtain permission from individuals before sending them voice broadcast messages.  Review the Infusionsoft acceptable use policy.
