How it works

A missed-call text-back system sends an automatic SMS when someone calls and the business does not answer.

The best use is simple acknowledgement plus a clear next step, followed by real staff follow-up.

Avoid duplicate messaging

Repeated missed calls can trigger repeated messages in some configurations, so add throttling or workflow logic where necessary.
