Missed call text‑back that answers every call you can't pick up

A missed call is often a customer who will call the next business on the list. Veliora sends the caller a short, friendly text the moment a call goes unanswered, with a way to continue the conversation or book online. The reply lands in your shared inbox, on the caller's record.

The problem

The cost of a call that nobody returns

During busy hours, lunch breaks, or after closing, calls go unanswered. Callers rarely leave voicemails, and by the time someone calls back, the customer has booked elsewhere. Owners usually do not even know how many calls were missed.

When calls are missed

Lunch and closing time are when calls slip away

Missed calls cluster around busy hours. Text-back covers exactly those moments, without anyone watching the phone.

What it includes

What Missed Call Text-Back includes

Instant text to every missed caller

As soon as a call is missed, the caller receives a message written in your brand voice.

  • Personalized with the caller's name when known
  • Includes a booking or enquiry link if you want
  • Different message after business hours

Replies arrive in the shared inbox

When the customer replies, the message appears in the Veliora inbox on their contact record, so whoever is free can answer.

No duplicate texts for repeat callers

Customers often call two or three times in a row. We configure the follow-up as a workflow with a waiting period and simple rules, so the same person does not receive several identical texts.

A sending number that can reach the customer

If the number that was called cannot send texts, the system can send the follow-up from another eligible business number, so the message still goes out.

WhatsApp follow-up where it fits

Where WhatsApp is connected and the rules allow it, a missed-call follow-up can be sent on WhatsApp instead of SMS, using an approved template.

After hours

A call at 7 PM, a booking by morning

After closing, the text says when you open and offers the booking link, so the conversation keeps going overnight.
