Reply When You Can’t Pick Up sends a short text when you miss a call. It asks what they need and where they are, so they hear from you before they call someone else.
Before you start: You need your business phone and one short text. Free to set up.
Works on your phone. No account. Free.
Why I built it
I started out at the front desk of a hospital. A phone nobody answers is a person who goes somewhere else.
Now I'm a mom of three with a business. I can't always pick up.
So I built a front desk that answers for me. It works even when I'm tired from being a mother.
The smallest version is one short text, sent every time a call gets missed.
