Can I use AI calling or texting for cold outreach to leads I scraped?

No. AI calling and text messages require that the person has opted in. There are many rules and regulations, and you cannot scrape phone numbers and text them, or call people with AI who have not opted in.

When you pull leads from tools such as Apollo, reach them in a compliant way instead, for example by email or with a manual phone call that you make yourself.
