How to Use Audio in Your Automated Conversations

In this article, we will walk through the benefits of using audio in your automations, where AI voice notes fit naturally, and how to add audio to a flow.

Benefits of using audio in your automations

Including audio as part of your automated flows helps both you and your audience. First, audio is an important accessibility option for users with visual impairments. It is also a feature that many users genuinely enjoy, and it can give your automation more personality.

While you can already personalize flows with text, images, and video, adding an audio clip humanizes the experience on a different level. Think about the difference between reading a text message and hearing someone's voice on the phone. That is the kind of shift audio can create inside a direct message.

This is especially powerful when you use BooSend’s AI voice notes. Instead of manually recording every message, you can create a voice clone and generate voice notes that still feel personal, warm, and true to your speaking style. That makes it possible to bring the trust-building effect of voice into automated conversations without losing the efficiency of automation.

Sound also makes your brand more memorable. Ever get a song stuck in your head? Research has consistently shown that sound is closely tied to emotion, so hearing an audio clip inside a flow can help build more affinity for your brand than text alone.

Despite all of that, audio is still one of the most underused elements in automated conversations. Let’s look at how you can put it to work.

Ideas for using audio in your automation

Creators and businesses can use audio in BooSend flows in several practical ways. Coaches and consultants can use voice clips to make client communication feel warmer and more personal than another block of text. Podcasters, radio hosts, and musicians can send a short audio teaser so users get an instant sample of what they offer. Brands can also use audio to deliver a personal invitation to a webinar, live event, or product launch. A signature sound or short branded clip can reinforce sonic identity, while customer testimonials and stories can add another layer of social proof inside the conversation.

Voice feels personal in a way that static content cannot always match, which is why BooSend’s AI voice note automation can be such a useful part of an automated conversation strategy. It works best when you use it at high-impact moments, such as welcome messages, lead magnet delivery, follow-ups, webinar invitations, launch announcements, and objection handling. A short voice note can often explain context, reassurance, or enthusiasm more clearly than a long text message.

Now that you have some ideas, here is how to insert audio into your automations.

How to add audio into your automation

Once you have registered for a BooSend account, you can start by recording a standard audio clip or setting up AI voice notes. For a standard audio message, use any recording software you like, but keep the file size reasonable so it loads quickly for your audience.

For AI voice notes, create your voice clone by recording a short sample of your voice. BooSend’s AI can then learn your voice patterns, tone, and speaking style so you can generate audio messages from written prompts inside your automation.

Next, open your BooSend dashboard and navigate to the flow where you want the audio to live. Select the audio or voice note message type and drop it into the step where it fits best. If you are using AI voice, write what you want the message to say and generate the audio automatically. After that, publish the flow. Your audio will go live and appear as a clean audio player inside the message, ready for your followers to tap and listen.

As a best practice, keep voice messages short and focused. Around 15 to 30 seconds is usually enough to feel personal without slowing down the conversation. Get to the point quickly, sound natural, and include a clear next step so the listener knows what to do after hearing the message.

With BooSend, you can build and maintain real relationships with potential and current customers from every angle, including AI voice notes, audio clips, video, images, and text. It all runs on autopilot, helping complete the sales conversation in a way that still feels human.
