Outreach is where you execute your AI calling campaigns. While VoiceFlows define how to make calls, Outreach is the actual execution — applying a VoiceFlow to a specific list of contacts.
VoiceFlows vs Outreach
VoiceFlows Outreach Reusable templates Specific execution instances Define AI assistant, objectives Apply a VoiceFlow to contacts No contacts attached Contacts uploaded per outreach Configure once, use many times Track real-time progress
Think of it this way: A VoiceFlow is your playbook. An Outreach is running that playbook with a specific roster of contacts.
