Dropping your Voicemail to your Clients

When making an outbound call and the customer does not answer, simply wait for the *beep* as you normally would then click the “Voicemail Drop” icon in the Shape dialer. This will end the call so you can move on to calling other customers and the voicemail recording will play for them!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here at Shape, we are a SOC 2 compliant company, holding the highest standards of security in the software space. With this we must adhere to all white-hat compliant standards, auto-dialing is a gray area and does not meet white-hat compliant standards, therefore we do not support auto-dialing. You can still click to call and dial from your system, but it must be manned by a user in order for us to remain in compliance. We protect not only ourselves from compliance issues, but also our clients alike!

User roles in your system will not be able to use any voicemail recordings that they did not upload.

However, if a manager or director role has user assigned to them then those users will be able to use that manager or directors recordings.

This is likely due to the uploaded file but please reach out to support@setshape.com and our dedicated support team will be happy to look into this!
