Receiving voicemails from your listeners

Voicemails let your audience talk back. A small widget on your website lets any listener record a voice message for you — feedback, questions, or stories you can even play in a future episode.

Available on the Pro plan and above.

How to turn on voicemails

  1. In your dashboard, go to Engage Listeners → Receive Voicemails.
  2. Open the Settings tab and turn the widget on.
  3. Click Save. A microphone button appears in the corner of your website.

How it works for listeners

Visitors click the microphone button, record their message right in the browser, and send it — no app or phone number needed. Messages can be up to 120 seconds long by default, and you can set a shorter maximum in the settings.

Customizing the widget

In the voicemail Settings you can:

  • Choose the widget style — a button in the corner or a tab on the side of the page.
  • Edit the welcome and thank-you messages listeners see.
  • Require a name or email address with each message.
  • Add a disclaimer — for example, permission to play the message on your show.
  • Set a shorter maximum recording length (up to 120 seconds).

Listening to your voicemails

You get an email whenever a listener leaves a voicemail, and every message is saved in the Voicemail Inbox in your dashboard. Both include an automatic text transcript of the message, so you can see what a listener said without playing the audio.

Tip: Ask a question on air and invite listeners to answer by voicemail — then play the best responses in a future episode.
