problem

The operating gap

Every missed call is a lost lead. The caller moves on to a competitor before anyone calls back, and busy teams rarely call back fast enough, especially after hours.

build

What gets built

A missed-call trigger fires an immediate SMS from the business number: a friendly acknowledgement, a quick qualifying question, and a booking link. A lightweight SMS agent handles the back-and-forth (reschedule, answer a simple question, confirm a slot) using approved messaging, and books straight into the calendar. Anything beyond its scope is handed to a human with the thread attached. Opt-out is honored throughout.

build steps

  1. 01Detect missed/abandoned calls via the telephony webhook and capture the caller number.
  2. 02Send an instant, opt-out-compliant SMS acknowledging the call and offering to help or book.
  3. 03Run a constrained SMS agent to qualify lightly and share the booking link.
  4. 04Write the booking back to the calendar and update the CRM with source = missed call.
  5. 05Escalate complex threads to a human with the full conversation attached.
  6. 06Track recovery rate and tune the opening message and timing.

architecture notes

Architecture layers

  • Conversation layer: Detect missed/abandoned calls via the telephony webhook and capture the caller number.
  • Reasoning layer: Send an instant, opt-out-compliant SMS acknowledging the call and offering to help or book.
  • Tools layer: Twilio (missed-call webhook + SMS) runs the bounded conversation step for Missed-Call Follow-Up Agent with while keeping tool use, transcripts, and escalation outcomes explicit.
  • Records layer: GPT-5-class SMS agent connects calls, messages, calendar work, or CRM writes while a missed-call trigger fires an immediate SMS from the business number: a friendly acknowledgement, a quick qualifying question, and a booking link.
  • Escalation layer: Seconds, not hours Callers re-engaged before they call a competitor; Self-serve booking Recovered callers book without staff effort; After-hours sa...
