Home· Systems· Missed Call Text Back

Bestseller Lead capture

Text every missed caller in under 10 seconds.

What it does

Missed calls become text conversations.

Your phone rings. Nobody answers. Maybe everyone's on a job site, maybe it's after hours. Without this, that lead is gone — they call the next plumber, the next roofer, the next dentist on Google.

With this, the second your line goes to voicemail, the caller gets a text:

"Hey — sorry we missed your call. This is [Your Business]. What can we help with? Reply here and we'll get right back to you."

Most callers reply. From there, your team picks up the conversation in their normal SMS inbox, schedules an estimate, and books the job — all over text.

Setup

15 minutes, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Connect your phone provider

    Paste your Twilio (or GHL, or other) auth token into the config form. We give you a fill-in-the-blank checklist — no code.

  2. 2

    Pick your message template

    Choose business-hours, after-hours, or holiday. Edit the wording in plain English to sound like you. Most owners change 1–2 words and ship it.

  3. 3

    Test with your own phone

    Call your business line from your cell, hang up. You should get the text within 8 seconds. If you do, you're live.

  4. 4

    Watch jobs come in

    Replies land in your normal SMS inbox (or wherever your current tools routes texts). You handle them like you'd handle any text.

Common questions

FAQ.

Does the customer know it's automated?
No. The text reads like you sent it. The reply goes to your normal SMS inbox, where a real person picks up the conversation. The customer never knows the first message was automated.
What if I'm a one-person shop and can't reply right away?
The first text sets expectations: "We'll get right back to you." Most customers will wait 15–30 minutes. If you can't reply that fast, add the after-hours template — it gives them a choice of pre-set times to book without you involved.
Will spammers waste my texts?
We ship with a pre-loaded filter for known telemarketer prefixes and spam patterns. About 95% of junk is filtered before a text fires. The rest you can block in 5 seconds via your phone provider.
How much will it cost me to run?
Twilio (or your SMS provider) charges per text — typically ~$0.0079/text in the US. If you miss 100 calls a month, that's $0.79 in SMS costs. Pennies. We don't charge anything ongoing.
