Call handlingFollow-upAutomation

Missed Call → Intake → Follow-Up

A sober living home receives a call from a potential resident or their family, but no staff is available to answer. Without a system, this call becomes a lost opportunity.

Exact steps

1

Call goes to voicemail

Auto-text sent immediately

Automatic text message sent to caller: "Thanks for calling [Home Name]. We missed your call and will call back shortly. If urgent, reply here."

Trigger: Voicemail starts
3

Voicemail transcribed and logged

Voicemail is transcribed and added to a shared inbox for all intake staff to see.

4

Callback task created automatically

A task is created in the pipeline with caller info and voicemail content.

If no answer, follow-up text sent

7

Intake staff

Automation logic

When missed call detected → Send auto-text → Create pipeline task (status: Needs Callback) → If no callback logged within 4 hours → Send follow-up text. If callback made but no answer → Mark for retry in 24 hours. After 3 failed attempts → Move to "Cold" status with notification to manager.

Expected outcomes

No missed calls go untracked

Average callback time under 2 hours

Higher contact rate from automatic texts

Clear visibility into intake pipeline

Fewer lost opportunities from forgotten callbacks
