Getting Started with Smartlead.ai Campaigns
With Topa.io, you can connect your SmartLead email campaigns directly to Topa and automatically send AI-generated voicemails and SMS messages to your prospects. This helps you 5X–10X your reply rates by combining email + voicemail + SMS follow-ups. Follow the steps below to set up your SmartLead campaign.
Step 1 — Create a New SmartLead Campaign
From your Topa.io dashboard, click Create New Campaign.
Select SmartLead Campaign.
You can choose to:
Apply a daily voicemail limit to control cost if you wish. This applies a limit to how many sent per 24 hours.
Send voicemails only on the first email in your SmartLead sequence if you toggle this option on.
Or send voicemails on every email in the sequence if you toggle this option off.
Step 2 — Enter Campaign Details
Fill in the required fields:
Campaign Name
Send Number
AI Voice
Click Test to preview the AI voice.
Tip: Use punctuation such as ! … or - to improve clarity and flow of the AI-generated audio.
Step 3 — Generate Part 2 of Your Message
Part 2 must be generated before you can proceed.
Click Generate to create the second part of your voicemail script.
Listen to the preview to ensure it sounds natural.
Adjust wording or punctuation if the pronunciation is incorrect.
Repeat the generation until the message sounds right for you, you can use punctuation like ! … or -
Step 4 — (Optional) Enable SMS Follow-Up
If your Twilio number is SMS-enabled:
Toggle on Send SMS
Type your SMS message (you can use the same variables as the voicemail)
Available variables include:
[Name]
[Company]
Step 5 — (Optional) Add a Campaign Webhook
