The workflow

A simple, proven missed-call text-back system

From the moment a prospect calls to the moment your team follows up, everything is designed to respond fast, capture details, and keep the conversation moving.

1) Missed call detected

When your phone rings and no one answers, the system triggers instantly. No app for your team to open and no manual steps.


2) Instant SMS text-back

The caller receives a friendly text in seconds, letting them know you’ll help and inviting them to reply right away.


3) Lead capture + qualification

A short SMS flow collects name, service needed, location, and preferred time so your team gets cleaner, more actionable leads.


4) Routing + follow-up

Leads are delivered to your team via SMS and/or email, with optional reminders and follow-ups to prevent leads from going cold.

Why it works for service businesses

Speed wins. When you reply in seconds, you stay in the running, especially after hours and during busy jobs.


Most missed calls are high-intent prospects. Our automation keeps the conversation going until your team can take over without changing your current process.
