How to Create a Voicemail in SmartDialer

Record or upload pre-recorded voicemails and drop them during a live call in SmartDialer

Voicemail Drop lets you leave a pre-recorded voicemail on a call instead of waiting through an unanswered ring or repeating the same message live every time. You can record or upload a voicemail once, then drop it into any call from the dialer panel.

This guide covers:

  1. Creating a voicemail

  2. Managing saved voicemails

  3. Dropping a voicemail during a call

1. Creating a Voicemail

Go to the SmartDialer section in the left sidebar (Engage tab > Calls),

then click the Settings tab.

Under Voicemail Drop, click Create New Voicemail (top right).

In the Create new voicemail modal:

  • Enter a Voicemail name (required)

  • Choose Select type: Record or Upload file

  • If recording, click Start Recording. You can record up to 2 minutes, after which recording stops automatically.

  • If uploading, use Upload file to add an existing audio file

  • Optionally check Set this voicemail as default

Click Save.

Ensure compliance with local laws when using Voicemail Drop. This includes getting the recipient's consent before dropping a voicemail.

2. Managing Saved Voicemails

Every voicemail you create appears under the Settings tab, showing its name, creation date, and length (e.g. "Voicemail 1 - Created 9th September 2026 - 00:14").

From this list you can:

  • Click the play control to preview a voicemail

  • Click the pencil icon to edit a voicemail

  • Click the trash icon to delete a voicemail

3. Dropping a Voicemail During a Call

While a call is active, the dialer panel shows Context, Voicemail Drop, and End Call.

Click Voicemail Drop to open the Select voicemail panel:

  • Choose which saved voicemail to drop from the dropdown (e.g. "Voicemail 1")

  • Click Drop Voicemail & Hang up to play the voicemail and end the call

This is especially useful for calls that go unanswered. Instead of hanging up with no message left, you can drop a consistent, pre-recorded voicemail and move to the next call.
