Prerequisites
Connect the call and message channels first.

- A department exists for callbacks and customer-service tickets.
- Consent, service-window, and staff-approval policies match the channel behavior.
Build
Start with the missed-call template.
- 01
Create the automation
Open Settings → Automations and choose Missed-call follow-up.
- 02
Review the trigger
Keep Missed call selected and confirm which connected calling source produces the event.
- 03
Prepare the customer
The flow uses the external caller number to find or prepare the customer record under tenant rules.
- 04
Find intent and gather information
Ask only what the selected business task requires and preserve unrelated customer requests.
- 05
Handle unsupported work
Create a ticket with the conversation and call reference, then route to Human Handoff when needed.
- 06
Validate and publish
Resolve channel conflicts and test a controlled missed inbound call before publication.
