Record and Send Voicemail Drops
Effortlessly personalize and schedule recorded messages from your Happy Grasshopper account.
Happy Grasshopper’s Voicemail Drop feature allows you to leave perfectly-timed, personalized voicemails for your contacts — without even ringing their phone. You can record your voicemail using an existing script or create one completely from scratch.
🔁 Recording from an Existing Script
If you’d like a little inspiration or just want to quickly personalize a prewritten script, this is the easiest way to start.
Steps:
- Go to the Voicemail Drops tab in the left-hand menu.
- Browse the list of preloaded scripts.
- Click Preview Script to view the message content.
- When ready, click Start Recording.
- Speak naturally — like you’re leaving a real voicemail. Example:
“Hey, this is Kaylee from Happy Grasshopper. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday!”
- Click Stop Recording once done.
- You can:
- Listen to your recording.
- Click Save New Recording if you’re happy.
- Or Start Over to try again.
- Name the message (e.g., “Birthday Message”) and click Update Recording Name.
Repeat for other available scripts as needed.
✏️ Recording from Scratch
Prefer to go freestyle or want a fully custom message? You can create your voicemail drop entirely from scratch.
Steps:
- Go to Voicemail Drops from the left-hand menu.
- Click Create New Voicemail Drop.
- Choose to either:
- Type your own script (as a guide), or
- Leave the script box empty and freestyle.
- Click Start Recording and speak your message.
- Example:
“Hey, it’s Kaylee from Happy Grasshopper. I wanted to check in and update you on some recent changes in the market…”
- Example:
- Click Stop Recording and then either:
- Click Save New Recording, or
- Click Start Over to try again.
- Name your recording (e.g., “April Market Update”) and Update Recording Name.
📤 Sending or Scheduling a Voicemail Drop
Once you’ve saved your recording:
- Choose Recipients:
- Type in tags (e.g., “Past Clients”) and select one or more.
- Set Your Callback Number:
- It will auto-fill from your account, but you can change it.
- This is the number recipients will see and use to call you back.
- Send Options:
- Click Send to deliver it immediately, or
- Click Schedule to choose a specific date and time.
- Example: Send a “New Year’s Eve” message on Dec 31 at 11:00 AM.
💡 You can schedule voicemail drops months in advance for events like holidays, seasonal check-ins, or milestone updates.
