What are Campaigns?

Campaigns are organized outreach efforts that help you communicate with multiple clients at once. A campaign can include:

  • AI Voice Calls — Automated calls using your AI Receptionist
  • SMS Messages — Text messages before, after, or instead of calls
  • Emails — Email communications at scheduled times
  • Forms — Collect information from clients who respond
💡 Campaign Components

List — Who to contact (see Lists)
AI Agent — The voice for your calls (see AI Receptionist)
Form — What to collect (see Forms)
Schedule — When to run

Campaign Types

Voice Campaigns

Make AI-powered phone calls to clients. The AI handles the conversation, collects information, and can transfer calls to team members when needed.

Messaging-Only Campaigns

Send SMS and/or email messages without making voice calls. Great for reminders, updates, or simple follow-ups.

Multi-Channel Campaigns

Combine voice calls with messaging for maximum engagement. For example, send an SMS before the call and a follow-up email after.

Scheduling Campaigns

Campaigns run according to a schedule you define:

Run Schedule

  • Start/End Date — When the campaign runs
  • Daily Hours — What time of day to make calls (e.g., 9 AM - 5 PM)
  • Days of Week — Which days to run (typically weekdays)

Callback Retries

If a call doesn't connect, Kayse can automatically try again:

  • Set multiple retry attempts (e.g., try again after 2 hours, then next day)
  • Define how long to wait between attempts
  • Stop after a maximum number of tries

Campaign Messages

Configure automated messages at different points in the campaign:

Before the Call

Send an SMS or email to let the client know you'll be calling. This increases answer rates significantly.

Example: "Hi John, we'll be calling you shortly regarding your case. Please answer a call from this number."

After a Successful Call

Send a follow-up message after connecting with the client.

Example: "Thanks for speaking with us today! Let us know if you have any questions."

After a Failed Call

If you couldn't reach the client, send a message to encourage them to call back.

Example: "We tried to reach you but couldn't connect. Please call us back at your convenience."

Scheduled Messages

Send messages at specific times during the campaign, independent of calls.

Best Practices

  • Start small — Test with a small list before scaling up
  • Send pre-call messages — Clients are more likely to answer if they expect your call
  • Set reasonable hours — Call during business hours in the client's timezone
  • Limit retries — Don't call the same person too many times
  • Review transcripts — Check call quality and AI performance regularly
  • Respect opt-outs — Stop contacting clients who request it
