2 min. readlast update: 07.22.2025

Phone calls are a direct and personal way to connect with voters. Vottiv makes it easy to run phone outreach campaigns without needing external tools or software.

You can provision a campaign phone number in seconds, create a call script, attach a survey, and choose between a predictive dialer or a power dialer—all within Vottiv.

Quick Start

To get started with phone calls:

  1. Go to the phone calls section in your Vottiv dashboard

  2. Search for and provision a campaign phone number

  3. Write your call script

  4. Upload or record a voicemail message (optional)

  5. Attach a survey if you'd like to collect data during the call

  6. Choose between the predictive or power dialer system

What’s the Difference?

  • Predictive Dialer
    Calls voters automatically based on call flow and timing. Best for fast-paced, high-volume outreach.
