What is missed-call text-back?

Missed-call text-back automatically sends a text to anyone whose call to your business goes unanswered. Instead of losing them to voicemail, the caller gets an instant SMS — usually within seconds — that starts a conversation and lets you book them without phone tag.

How fast does the text go out?

Within seconds of the call ending. Speed is the whole point: the business that responds first wins the majority of leads, and most people will not call back if their first call is not answered.

Does it work after hours?

Yes. You set the rules. Text-back can fire 24/7 or only outside business hours, with a different message for each — so a caller at 9 PM still gets answered and booked for the morning.

Will the texts come from my business number?

Yes. Messages are branded with your business name and sent from your Frayze line, so the caller knows who is replying. Replies land in one inbox your team manages from desktop or the mobile app.

Can AI answer the replies, or just send the first text?

Both. The first text-back fires automatically. From there your team can reply, or you can turn on Frayze Conversation AI to answer questions and book the appointment on its own.

Is this only for dealerships and trades?

No. It fits any business where a missed call is a lost sale — dealerships, contractors, clinics, salons, law firms. It is most valuable when each lead is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.
