I run an HVAC company called [BUSINESS NAME]. Write me a set of short texts to send by hand after I miss a call. 1) A first text that says sorry I missed you and asks what they need help with. 2) Replies for each kind of answer: no heat, no AC, maintenance, new system, or other. 3) A text offering two visit times: [TIME 1] and [TIME 2]. 4) A booking confirmation with the address and time. Keep each text under 300 characters, friendly, and plain. Sign them [YOUR NAME].
How to set it up
- Set up n8n on your own server (the post says about $4.80 a month).
- Connect a texting service and your calendar.
- When a call is missed, send a text back.
- Ask what they need, then put the visit on the calendar.
Cost
Free self-hosted n8n (post says about $4.80/mo server); texting extra
