Outbound calling
Move the conversation
forward.
Reach the people your business needs to hear from. Ask the right questions, capture the answers and give your team a practical next step.
Outbound launch requires an eligible contact list, reviewed calling setup, an active plan and your verified Twilio account.
Choose the work you need done
Three reasons to pick up the phone.
A campaign, in plain language
One purpose. One audience. A clear next step.
A campaign is a set of calls with a shared goal. You choose who to call, what to ask and what your team should do with the responses.
Start with people you can call
Bring your eligible contacts and their calling basis. Review contact information, local times, suppression and the applicable calling policy.
Give the agent one useful job
Use approved facts and a short set of questions. Make the desired outcome clear: interest, availability or a survey response.
Review, then follow through
See what happened on each call. Route the next action to your team or use supported exports and configured webhooks.
The point is the answer
Less chasing. More context.

Before you decide
A few useful answers.
Does AI automatically close the sale?
The Sales workflow gathers qualification context and the prospect’s next step. Your team handles the sales process and confirms commitments.
Does a worker’s yes fill the shift?
A yes is a recorded response. Your coordinator or staffing system confirms the assignment.
How does outbound billing work?
Choose Engage, Workforce or Sales, then add published AI-minute and attempt charges. Your own Twilio account bills carrier charges. The pricing estimator separates those components.
