Slybroadcast offers the power of voicemail WITHOUT making a phone call. Ringless Voicemail (RVM) can be a useful asset, both with reminders leading up to your event and further targeting a specific audience with your specific voice message.

The phone doesn't ring, but there is a new voicemail, simply record an MP3 and upload into AEvent Media, then follow the guides below to setup your Slybroadcast integration and activate it within your timeline.

Timeline Actions:

Creating a Timeline Action to Send a Slybroadcast Ringless Voicemail

Sending a targeted Ringless Voicemail to not only registrants but to cart abandoners, non-attendees, etc., can be powerful.

First, you must upload an MP3 recording to send.

You may Drag and drop files or click on "Browse" to locate and select your audio file.

Once you get the notification saying "Media Upload successful", click on "Done."


Next, within the timeline builder, start by creating an action and selecting the date and time that you wish the action to occur.

Once you've defined the Ringless Voicemail action, click Create, and you'll see it within your timeline.

Based upon the settings above, 30 minutes prior to the start of the event, Slybroadcast will send your MP3 recording and arrive to your registrant as a missed call and voicemail recording, reminding the registrant about the event about to begin.
