Followup Smartlead.ai Campaigns

With Topa.io, you can connect your Smartlead.ai email campaigns directly to Topa and automatically send AI-generated voicemails, SMS messages, and WhatsApp messages to your prospects. This helps you 5X–10X your reply rates by combining email + voicemail + SMS + WhatsApp follow-ups. Follow the steps below to set up your Smartlead.ai campaign.

How the Integration Works

Once connected:

  • Smartlead.ai sends an email / an email is opened / an email is clicked.

  • Smartlead.ai triggers a webhook event.

  • Topa receives the webhook.

Topa automatically:

  • Finds the contact's cellphone number

  • Drops a voicemail (optional)

  • Sends an SMS (optional)

  • Sends a WhatsApp message (optional)

You can also configure multiple follow-up steps, allowing voicemail, SMS, and WhatsApp messages to trigger throughout your Smartlead.ai email sequence.


Step 1 — Create a New Smartlead.ai Campaign

From your Topa.io dashboard:

  • Click Create New Campaign

  • Select Smartlead.ai Campaign

Optional Settings

Daily Voicemail Limit

Apply a limit to control how many voicemails are sent every 24 hours. This helps manage sending volume and costs.


Step 2 — Enter Campaign Details

Fill in the required campaign information:

  • Campaign Name

  • Send Number

  • AI Voice

You can click Test to preview the AI voice.

Writing Your Voicemail Script

Your voicemail message is created in two parts.

Enter the template text for:

  • Part 1

  • Part 2

Example Structure

  • Part 1: Greeting and context

  • Part 2: Call-to-action or follow-up instructions

Use punctuation to improve clarity and pacing in the AI-generated audio.


Step 3 — Generate and Preview the Voicemail

Before continuing, you must generate the second part of the voicemail message.

  • Click Generate

  • Listen to the preview audio

  • Confirm the message sounds natural and that names or phrases are pronounced correctly

If needed, you can:

  • Adjust wording

  • Add punctuation (such as !, …, or -)

  • Click Generate again to regenerate the audio

Repeat until the voicemail sounds correct.


Step 4 — (Optional) Enable SMS and WhatsApp Follow-Up

If your sending number supports SMS, you can send a follow-up message alongside the voicemail.

SMS

  • Toggle Send SMS

  • Enter your SMS message

WhatsApp

If your WhatsApp account is connected to Topa.io:

  • Enable WhatsApp

  • Enter your WhatsApp message

Supported Variables

  • {name}

  • {company}

Example Message

Hi {name}, I just left you a quick voicemail about the email I sent. Feel free to reply here if it's easier.

Note: WhatsApp messaging is available once your WhatsApp account is connected to Topa.io.


Step 5 — Add Additional Campaign Steps

You can trigger voicemail, SMS, and WhatsApp actions on multiple steps within your Smartlead.ai email sequence.

By default:

  • Step 1 triggers a voicemail, SMS, and/or WhatsApp message when the email is sent.

You can also:

  • Add additional steps

  • Trigger voicemail, SMS, and WhatsApp messages later in the email sequence

Topa allows up to 10 campaign steps.

This allows you to create multi-touch outreach across:

  • Email

  • Voicemail

  • SMS

  • WhatsApp


Step 6 — (Optional) Add a Campaign Webhook

If you want to receive voicemail and SMS delivery results through a webhook, you can enable this feature.

Example Webhook Response

{
 "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 7 — Create the Campaign and Copy the Webhook URL

  • Click Create Campaign

  • Copy the Webhook URL shown on the confirmation screen

You will use this URL when connecting Smartlead.ai in the next step.


Step 8 — Connect Topa.io to Smartlead.ai

Inside Smartlead.ai:

  • Go to Settings → Webhooks

  • Click Add a Webhook

  • Paste the Webhook URL from Topa.io

  • Set Event Type to Email Sent (or another event if desired)

  • Select the Smartlead.ai campaign you want to connect

  • Click Save

Once connected, Topa will automatically trigger voicemails, SMS messages, and WhatsApp messages based on email activity in Smartlead.ai


Step 9 — Manage Leads and Conversations in Topa

When leads are processed through the campaign, Topa can automatically:

  • Find B2B cellphone numbers

  • Deliver voicemails

  • Send SMS messages

  • Send WhatsApp messages

You can manage these leads inside Topa's Inbox, where you can:

  • Reply to SMS messages

  • Reply to WhatsApp messages

  • Send additional voicemails

  • Continue conversations with prospects

Topa also functions as a mini CRM, allowing you to:

  • Add notes

  • Assign lead owners

  • Update lead statuses

  • Manage a blacklist

You can also enrich additional B2B contacts and push them into the inbox to start SMS or WhatsApp conversations.


Step 10 — (Optional) Provide White-Label Access to Clients or Staff

You can provide a white-label login to team members or clients.

From their login, users can view:

  • Delivered voicemail records

  • SMS delivery results

  • WhatsApp conversations

  • Inbox conversations with leads

  • Enriched cellphone numbers

They can also:

  • Reply to leads via SMS

  • Reply to leads via WhatsApp

  • Send voicemails

  • Manage blacklist entries

  • Add notes or assign leads

The white-label dashboard contains no Topa branding, allowing agencies to share campaign results with clients while maintaining their own brand experience.
