How does missed-call text-back automation work?

When a customer calls your business number and reaches voicemail or disconnects without speaking to a human, our system detects the missed call and instantly fires a personalized SMS within 30–60 seconds: "Hi, sorry we missed your call at [Company]! How can we help you today?" If the customer texts back with their issue, an automated conversational flow or booking link engages them before they call your competitor.

Does this work with our existing phone numbers?

Yes. We connect to your existing phone carrier, VOIP provider (RingCentral, Dialpad, Grasshopper, Nextiva, OpenPhone), or provision a dedicated Twilio/GHL number with call forwarding configured.

How much does missed-call automation cost?

Every build is fixed-price: $2,000–$5,000 for a complete missed-call text-back and qualification engine. Delivered in 1–2 weeks with no monthly retainer to Aplos AI. Telephony/SMS carrier fees typically run under $10–$25/month paid directly to vendors.
