Automated Calls: Why Businesses Prefer Call Automation

Automated Phone Calls

Reach customers, when it matters. Trigger automated alerts, reminders, and more with Exotel’s automated calling system.

What are automated calls?

An automated phone call essentially relays a pre-recorded voice message to the customer. Record the message, set up the call, and send it to any number of people you want, at any time.

Automated calls are very versatile, and can be used for many things like call blasts, reminders, follow-ups, event based calls, and feedback. Another interesting adoption of call automation is by political parties to garner support.

Top benefits of using automated calls

Better Efficiency

Automatic phone calls can be scheduled at a date and time you prefer.
