Voice Drops: Automated Voice Messages for Customer Outreach

Text messages are efficient. But sometimes a human voice carries more weight. A voice message from a doctor reminding a patient about their appointment, a restaurant owner inviting a VIP to a special event, or a trainer motivating a member to get back in the gym — these land differently than text.

DMHub's voice drop feature lets you send pre-recorded voice messages to WhatsApp contacts at scale, combining the personal touch of voice with the efficiency of automation.

When to Use Voice Drops

Voice drops work best in situations where personal connection matters:

• VIP customer outreach: A voice message from the owner or manager feels genuinely personal
• Event invitations: Voice conveys excitement and urgency better than text
• Health reminders: A doctor's voice carries authority for medication adherence
• Win-back campaigns: A familiar voice can rekindle a dormant relationship
• Thank-you messages: Post-purchase gratitude feels more sincere in voice
• Seasonal greetings: Holiday messages from the business owner

When NOT to Use Voice Drops

Stick to text for:

• Order confirmations and tracking
• Appointment confirmations (text is easier to reference)
• Pricing and detailed information
• High-frequency messages (more than once per month)
• Large audiences unfamiliar with your business

How to Record Effective Voice Drops

Keep It Short

30-60 seconds maximum. Anything longer gets skipped.

Be Natural

Don't read a script word-for-word. Speak conversationally, as if you're leaving a message for a friend.

Include a Clear Action

End with what you want them to do: "Reply to this message to book" or "Tap the link in our next message."

Example Script

`` "Hey {{name}}, it's Sarah from [Business Name]. Just wanted to reach out personally — we're hosting a special event next Saturday and I immediately thought of you. It's going to be [brief description]. I'd love to have you there. Reply to this message and I'll save you a spot. Hope to see you!" ``

Setting Up Voice Drops in DMHub

1. Go to Campaigns > Voice Drops > New
2. Record your message (or upload a pre-recorded file)
3. Select your target audience (segment)
4. Schedule delivery (date and time)
5. Set follow-up: automatic text message with details/link sent after the voice drop
6. Review and send

Pairing Voice with Text

The most effective approach is voice + text:

1. Voice drop: Personal, emotional hook
2. Text follow-up (1 minute later): Details, link, booking option

This combination gets 2.3x higher response rates than text alone and 1.8x higher than voice alone.

Getting Started

Voice drops add a human dimension to automated outreach. Used selectively for high-value communications, they create connections that text messages can't match.
