Campaigns
Reach out to your clients at scale with AI-powered voice calls, SMS messages, and emails.
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
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
