Miss the Call.
Don't Lose the Customer.
When a call is missed, Slingshot instantly sends a text to the caller — keeping the conversation alive until someone can follow up.
A missed call is a missed job.
A contractor could spend hundreds of dollars generating a phone call through advertising. If nobody answers, that money is wasted. The caller moves on to the next business — usually the one that picks up. Most businesses don't even know how many calls they're missing or how much revenue those missed calls represent.
How this feature helps.
Call comes in
A customer calls your business. Your team is on another call, out on a job, or it's after hours.
Call is missed
The call goes unanswered. Without Slingshot, the customer hangs up and calls a competitor.
Instant text-back
Within seconds, Slingshot automatically sends a text: 'Sorry we missed your call. How can we help?'
Conversation starts
The customer replies. A conversation begins. A lead is captured. The opportunity stays with you.
What this means for your business.
Recover missed revenue
Every missed call is a potential job. Text-back keeps the opportunity alive.
Instant response
The text goes out within seconds — fast enough that the caller is still looking at their phone.
Capture after-hours leads
After-hours calls don't disappear. The text-back starts the conversation until your team follows up.
Know what you're missing
See exactly how many calls were missed, how many were recovered, and what happened next.
No manual effort
It's fully automatic. No one has to remember to text back — Slingshot does it instantly.
Higher conversion
Recovered calls convert to jobs at a high rate because the lead was already qualified enough to call.
This feature works with the rest of Slingshot.
