Home/Solutions/Answer and Capture/Missed-Call Text-Back Automation

Missed the call? Keep the job anyway.

A text goes out within seconds of a call dropping. They get a reply, you get the details, and nobody has to remember anything.

A missed call leaves you nothing. No name, no job, no idea whether it was worth ringing back. So it sits there. Meanwhile they’ve moved on to whoever picked up.

If that sounds familiar, this is the system that fixes it. Here is exactly how it works.

What you get

Detects the missed call within a second or two
Sends a text in your wording, with your business name and one question
Captures their reply in writing
Puts name, number, job and suburb into one list
Notifies you so it doesn’t sit all day

The workflow, step by step

What kicks it off

A call rings out while you’re on a job

What gets written down

Text sent in about 6 seconds: "Sorry I missed you, I'm on a job. What's the problem and what suburb?"

What runs on its own

Customer replies, details captured in writing

Where you step in

You’re notified so it doesn’t sit all day

Where it ends up

Follow-up task created automatically

Made-up example. The real one gets built around your business.

What this does NOT do

  • Can’t recover a call from a blocked number or a landline that won’t take texts.
  • Doesn’t guarantee a reply. Some people don’t answer texts either.
  • SMS costs about four cents a message, charged at cost on top.

The cheapest thing we do

This is the cheapest thing we do, deliberately. It's the easiest one to test whether any of this works for your business.

Setup $150 one-off. Managed service $99/month. SMS at cost, about 4c per message. This is the cheapest system in the catalogue and usually the fastest to pay for itself.

What changes the quote

  • Monthly message volume
