An Automated Calling Service for Reminders, Not Robocalls
"Automated calling service" covers two very different things: mass outbound dialing to strangers, and scheduled reminder calls to people who asked for them. DoNotify only does the second, and that shapes everything about it.
Two products under one phrase
Search this term and you get predictive dialers, call-center platforms, and political broadcast tools. They are optimised for volume: how many numbers per hour, how many agents connected. Useful, if that is your business.
The other product is far narrower. One person, one time, one message they are expecting. No dialer, no agents, no list. That is DoNotify, and it is worth knowing which one you are shopping for before you compare features that do not apply.
What DoNotify does
It places scheduled outbound calls and speaks a message you wrote. It syncs to your calendar so the schedule maintains itself. It knows the recipient's timezone. It detects voicemail, leaves the message, and retries from another number. It logs every attempt.
What it does not do: dial lists, connect to live agents, run IVR menus, take inbound calls, or handle two-way conversation. Those are dialer features, and if you need them you need a dialer.
Why the distinction protects you
Automated calling to people who did not consent is regulated, and in the US it is regulated seriously. DoNotify is built for the consented case: your patients, your clients, your own family, your own phone. Keeping the tool narrow is part of keeping its users out of trouble.
Pricing without a sales call
7 calls free, no card. $7.50 a month for 50 calls. $39 a month for 200. Published on the pricing page rather than quoted after a demo, because per-seat enterprise pricing for "I want my phone to ring at 9am" is absurd.
