Keep Your Callers Informed About Unanswered Calls With Auto Reply For Missed Calls

Your business needs an auto-reply for the following key reasons:

• Promptly replying to unattended customer inquiries.
• Managing time and efficiency during high-volume calls.
• Ensuring consistency and showcasing professionalism.
• Reassure customers about response times and opening hours

A good auto-reply message for business should be professional, friendly, and informative. It should acknowledge the receipt of the message, provide an expected response time, and offer alternative contact methods if necessary.

You need auto replies for missed calls, as they can help you save time by not having to hire staff to manually send messages for missed calls and stay reachable even when you are busy.

To respond to a missed call with an auto-reply text, you can follow these methods:

1. Set up a trigger to detect missed calls, or use an app that can detect missed calls and respond automatically.
2. Create a personalized auto-text message to send to the caller.
3. If a missed call is detected, send the customized auto-text message to the caller immediately.
4. Set up a follow-up task to ensure that the missed call is not forgotten.
5. Add a personal touch to your auto-text message by using the contact information properties.

To set up auto-replies on your Android phone, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Tap the three dots (⋮) menu in the top right corner.
3. Select “Settings” or “Call settings” (depending on your phone model).
4. Look for options like “Respond with SMS,” “Quick response messages,” or “Auto reject with a message.” (These options might vary slightly depending on your phone’s manufacturer).
5. Choose from pre-written messages or create your own custom text.
6. If available, enable the auto-reply feature. 

Note: Some Android phones might allow setting schedules for when the auto-reply is active (e.g., only during work hours).

iPhones don’t have a built-in feature for auto-replies to regular text messages. However, you can utilize an option called “Auto-Reply” within the “Focus” mode. This works specifically with the Driving Focus, but you can also create a custom Focus mode to achieve a similar result.

Here’s how to set up auto-replies using the Driving Focus:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Focus.
3. Choose Driving.
4. Tap on Auto-Reply.
5. Select who you want to receive the auto-reply:

• • No One (won’t send any replies).
  • Recent (replies to those whom you’ve recently texted).
  • Favorites (replies to your favorites list).
  • All Contacts (replies to everyone).

You can customize the default message by tapping on the text box and typing your desired response.
