How it works
From missed call to text conversation
A simple, configured flow that gives callers a second way to reach your shop when the phone can't be answered.
Customer calls the shop
Someone with a vehicle problem dials your shop number during business hours or after close.
The call is missed
Nobody is free to pick up, or the shop is closed. The call goes unanswered.
A branded text is sent automatically
Your shop's own message goes out by SMS within moments of the missed call, inviting the caller to reply by text.
Your team replies — or AI helps
On Missed Call Recovery, a shop employee continues the conversation from one inbox. On the AI Booking Upgrade, AI collects vehicle and service details and helps schedule through your configured calendar.

What the text conversation can look like
An illustration only. "Northline Auto" is a sample shop name, not a customer or testimonial. Real conversations depend on your shop's message settings and how the caller replies.
- Missed Call Recovery: your team replies from the shared inbox.
- AI Booking Upgrade: AI gathers details and helps schedule.

The problem
A missed call can become the next shop's customer.
Technicians and service advisors cannot always answer during busy hours. Voicemail is slow, while an automatic text gives the caller another way to continue.
Your team is under a vehicle, not beside the phone
During a busy service day, technicians and advisors are in the bay, on a test drive, or already with a customer at the counter. Calls go unanswered simply because everyone is working.
Voicemail is a slow way to answer
Many callers never leave a message, and the ones who do often wait until someone can listen and call back. That gap is time the caller can spend dialling the next shop.
A text gives the caller another way to continue
An automatic text sent right after a missed call lets the caller reply on their own time with the vehicle and service they need, instead of the conversation ending at the beep.
