Send Calls Like You Send Email: Familiar Interface for Voice Notifications
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Trigger robocalls or TTS voice messages using email composition
- No new apps—leverage Outlook, Gmail, or internal mail servers
- Supports personalization from email variables or database lookups
- Ideal for teams resistant to new tools or with legacy email systems
Most people are comfortable sending emails but hesitate to learn new telephony interfaces. By letting users send calls like they send email—compose subject/body, add recipients, hit send—adoption skyrockets. Robotalker creates these custom integrations so outbound voice notifications (automated calls, TTS messages) flow naturally from existing email habits and legacy mail servers.
Why This Approach Wins Adoption
Training time drops to near zero. Sales, support, and operations teams keep using tools they know while gaining powerful voice outreach.
📧 Zero Learning Curve
Compose like any email—call goes out automatically.
🔄 Legacy Friendly
Works with on-premise Exchange, Lotus Notes, etc.
Core Mechanism
SMTP capture → parsing → TTS generation → outbound call engine.
| Step | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Email Capture | SMTP relay or mailbox polling |
| Parsing | Subject = recipient list, body = script |
| TTS Conversion | Natural voices with SSML support |
| Delivery | Call engine with retry & status reporting |
Typical Business Scenarios
Shift reminders, urgent alerts, payment reminders, survey follow-ups, and event confirmations.
