[Mass Comms] Add Personal Touch to Auto Notice Voice Calls

Overview You can now add pre-recorded introduction and closing messages to your auto notice voice calls! This lets you use familiar voices to provide greetings or instructions before and after your automated messages.

Make auto notices more personal While auto notices are great for automated communication, sometimes you want to add a personal touch with a familiar voice that your community recognizes. Now you can record introduction messages that play before your main auto notice and closing messages that play afterward.

Multiple ways to add recordings Just like with mass communications, you have several options for creating your audio messages:

• Record from your device: Use your computer or phone to record directly
• Upload audio files: Use professionally recorded messages or existing audio files
• Call to record: Dial in to record your message over the phone

Perfect for adding context Use introduction messages to:

• Provide familiar greetings from recognizable school voices like principals or superintendents
• Give context about why the auto notice is being sent
• Add school branding with consistent voice messaging

Use closing messages to:

• Provide additional instructions or next steps
• Share contact information for follow-up questions
• End with school-specific sign-offs or messaging

Optional and flexible Both introduction and closing messages are completely optional - you can use one, both, or neither depending on what works best for each auto notice. By default, new auto notices won't include any pre-recorded messages unless you choose to add them.

This gives you the automation benefits of auto notices while maintaining the personal connection that comes from hearing familiar voices in your school community.
