Voice notifications keep international supply chain moving
Plivo customer Bosch InTrack, an integrated supply chain event platform, sends voice alerts to security teams about incoming deliveries — in multiple languages.
How voice notification works
With voice notification, you can call one number or a list of them, and when someone answers you either play recorded audio or use text-to-speech, combining static text with dynamic information that Plivo gets from a variable.
To get started, rent a Plivo phone number, then visit one of our voice notification use case guides, where we provide annotated code samples in seven widely used web coding languages that show you just how to set things up. You can complete the whole process, from number rental to testing your new code, in less than an hour.
