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

If you want to receive sms and voicemail delivery results via a webhook you can enabled this feature.

Example webhook:

{
  "destinationnumber": "+447534000000",
  "name": "Jonny",
  "company": "",
  "email": "",
  "linkedinurl": "",
  "custom1": "",
  "custom2": "",
  "custom3": "",
  "date_time": "2025-12-08T16:12:27.833665+00:00",
  "campaign": "Test",
  "voicemail_text": "Hi Jonny...",
  "detail": "Voicemail drop successful (machine_end_beep)",
  "voicemail_status": "SUCCESS",
  "sms_status": "sent",
  "source": "webhook"
}

Step 6 — Create the Campaign and Copy Your Webhook URL

  • Click Create Campaign

  • Copy the Webhook URL shown on the confirmation screen

You’ll paste this URL into Smartlead.ai in the next step.


Step 7 — Connect Topa.io to SmartLead.ai

Inside SmartLead:

  • Go to Settings → Webhooks

  • Click Add a Webhook

  • Paste the URL from Topa.io

  • Set Event Type to Email Sent or any other event

  • Select which SmartLead campaign you want to connect to

  • Save

Topa.io will now trigger voicemails/SMS based on email activity inside SmartLead.


Step 8 — (Optional) Give Clients or Staff a White-Label Login

You can provide your team or agency clients with a white-label login, where they can view:

  • All enriched cellphone numbers

  • All SMS replies

  • All inbound calls

This allows your clients to see results without accessing your main account.
