Missed Call Text Back System to Stop Losing Leads
If you miss a call, that lead usually goes elsewhere. This system makes sure every missed call gets an instant response.
Set it up once, then it runs on its own. Follow the steps below
Here’s how it works
Capture the lead. Reply instantly. Follow up automatically. That’s it.
Missed calls → instant text back
If you miss a call, a text goes out immediately so the lead can reply straight away.
Slow replies → instant response
New enquiries get a reply straight away, even if you’re busy, unavailable, or away from your phone.
No follow-up → automatic reminders
If someone doesn’t reply, the system follows up so the conversation doesn’t go cold.
Set this up in one system
You can patch tools together, but it’s much easier to run missed calls, replies, and follow-up in one place.
This replaces missed call handling, texting, and follow-up tools in one system.
If you’re missing leads because you can’t answer every call, this fixes it automatically.
Once this is set up, every missed call gets an instant reply and follow-up without you needing to answer.
GoHighLevel (14-day free trial, then $97/month + usage for messages and calls)
Set this up in GoHighLevel
Open GoHighLevel in another tab, then follow the steps below as you go.
1. Add a phone number
Go to Settings → Phone Numbers → Add Number and buy or connect a number inside your sub-account.
2. Turn on Missed Call Text Back
Go to Settings → Phone Numbers → click your number → Voicemail & Missed Call Text Back and enable it.
Make sure SMS is enabled on the number or this won’t send.
3. Write a short message
Click Customise and add a simple message like:
“Hi, sorry we missed your call. What can we help you with?”
Keep it short so people actually reply.
This is enough to start. You don’t need anything else right now.
What happens next
Once you’ve set this up, you don’t need anything else to start. The rest (advanced workflows, extra automation, etc.) can come later once this basic system is working.
