Missed call text back
Automatically text callers when a call is missed.
Why it matters
A missed call becomes a text conversation instead of a lost lead.
The HLB difference
The text-back can hand off to Conversation AI.
How it works
Automatically send a text to anyone whose call you miss so the lead turns into a conversation.
Missed call text back automatically sends a text message to people whose calls you miss. That way you can keep the conversation going instead of losing the lead. A plumber on a job site or a stylist with a client in the chair can still get back to a caller right away, even when nobody can answer the phone.
When a customer replies, their text arrives in Conversations. If your team also wants an alert, you can build a workflow:
- Create a workflow and add the Customer Replied trigger.
- Filter the trigger to Reply Channel = SMS.
- Add a Send Internal Notification action, choose SMS and pick the recipient.
- Insert the message body and the contact's first name as custom values.
- Publish the workflow and test it with a real reply.
Call forwarding does not forward text messages. SMS internal notifications count as outbound SMS usage. If contacts may reply more than once, turn on Allow Re-entry so the same contact can enter the workflow again after finishing it. A contact cannot re-enter while still active in the workflow, so keep it short. If the alert does not arrive, confirm the workflow is published, the recipient has a valid phone number and the execution history shows no errors.
