Missed-call text-back that books the callers you couldn't answer

How it works

The conversation, step by step

Every Missed-Call Text-Back starts from this flow. We change the questions, wording, and rules to match your business.

At any point

  • Wants a call: Flags the lead so you call back first
  • Stop request: Honors STOP replies and never texts again

You get every conversation, and can reply yourself at any point.

Why text back missed calls

When nobody answers, most new callers try the next business instead of leaving a voicemail. A text within seconds keeps the conversation going, and many people would rather text than talk anyway.

Our free Missed Call Calculator shows what unanswered calls cost your business in a year.

What our text-back agent does

A basic auto-reply sends one text and waits. Our agent carries the conversation through to a booking.

  • Texts new callers within seconds of a missed call, from your business number
  • Asks a few short questions about the job, in your wording
  • Answers simple questions about services, hours, and service area
  • Offers open times from your calendar and books the appointment
  • Texts you a summary of every new lead
  • Honors STOP requests and follows texting rules

Text-back or an AI receptionist?

Text-back works after a call is missed. An AI receptionist answers the call itself. Many businesses start with text-back and add the receptionist later, or use both: the receptionist answers, and text-back covers any call that still slips through.

Questions

People also ask

What is missed call text back?

It is a system that automatically texts people whose calls you miss, so you can help them by text before they call another business.

Does it use my business phone number?

Yes. Texts come from your business number, or from a number that forwards to it, depending on your phone provider.

Does it text people who are already customers?

You choose. It can text every missed caller, only new numbers, or only calls outside business hours.

Is texting customers allowed?

Replying to someone who just called you is generally treated as a response to their request. We register your number for business texting, include opt-out instructions, and honor every STOP reply.
