When a call is missed
A call goes unanswered
It rings out, hits voicemail, or finds the line busy. Your phone system tells the assistant who called. Blocked and anonymous numbers get no text.
It texts back, inside the window
It opens by saying it is an automated assistant for your business, that you missed the call, and asks what they need. Texts go out only between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on the customer's own clock, never on Sundays or on holidays you list. A text that would fall outside the window waits: a call at 10:15 p.m. is answered at 8:00 the next morning, and a Saturday-night call on Monday at 8:00.
It asks what your team would ask
A few short questions, one at a time: what is wrong, how urgent, where. Never more than the job needs.
It offers real times
Only times that are open on your calendar. If none are open it says so and tells them a person will follow up.
Your team takes it from there
The booked time, or a task for a person, and the whole conversation land in your CRM. Anything hot alerts a person at once.
