Voice Surveys#

Planned feature. Voice Surveys are on the product roadmap and not yet available. The content below describes the intended behavior; details may change before release.

Voice Surveys in Novaza Live allow you to conduct automated outbound call campaigns that guide recipients through a structured series of questions and record their spoken or keypad (DTMF) responses. This is ideal for post-service satisfaction measurement, market research, appointment confirmations, and broadcast notifications.

Survey Structure#

A voice survey is composed of:

  • Introduction — a brief greeting explaining who is calling and the purpose of the call
  • Questions — an ordered list of questions, each with a defined response type
  • Closing — a thank-you message played after all questions are completed or if the recipient opts out

Response Types#

TypeHow It Works
Keypad (DTMF)Recipient presses a number key (e.g., “Press 1 for Satisfied, 2 for Neutral, 3 for Unsatisfied”)
Open VoiceRecipient speaks a free-form answer, which is transcribed and saved
Yes/NoRecipient presses 1 for Yes or 2 for No
Rating ScaleRecipient presses a digit from 1–5 or 1–10

Creating a Survey#

  1. Go to Live → Surveys → New Survey.
  2. Enter a Survey Name and select the response Language.
  3. Record or type the Introduction message.
  4. Add questions one by one, selecting the response type for each.
  5. Record or type the Closing message.
  6. Click Save to store the survey definition for reuse across multiple campaigns.

Launching a Survey Campaign#

A survey campaign dials a list of phone numbers and plays the survey to each recipient. To launch:

  1. Go to Live → Surveys → New Campaign.
  2. Select the Survey to use.
  3. Upload a Contact List (CSV with phone numbers and optional name/reference fields) or link to a Novaza Office module query.
  4. Set the Calling Schedule — date, time window, timezone, and maximum daily call attempts per contact.
  5. Configure Retry Rules — how many times to retry unanswered calls and how long to wait between retries.
  6. Click Launch.

Response Data#

Survey responses are stored per contact and viewable in the Survey Results panel. For each completed call you can see:

  • Contact’s phone number and name
  • Each question and the recorded response
  • Transcript (for open voice responses)
  • Call duration and completion status (completed, partial, no answer, opted out)

Results can be exported as CSV or visualized as a report in Novaza Office using the API channel integration.

Always ensure you have the appropriate legal basis to call recipients in your jurisdiction before launching a survey campaign. Novaza Live includes a configurable opt-out option — if a recipient presses 9 (or a key of your choice) at any point during the call, they are added to a suppression list and will not be called again by any campaign in your workspace.
