Free automations

The exact automations we run for clients. Free.

Full blueprints, not teasers. They take real technical work: APIs, webhooks, compliance and testing. Build them yourself, or book a call and we'll install them with you.

Blueprint

  1. 1

    Buy a Twilio number, port or forward your business line to it, and enable A2P 10DLC registration (approval takes 3–10 days).

    Create a TwiML Bin that dials your real phone with a 20-second timeout and posts the DialCallStatus to a webhook.

    In Make/n8n, add a webhook trigger. Filter for DialCallStatus = no-answer | busy | failed.

  4. 4

    Look up the caller in your CRM by E.164 number. Create a contact if none exists and tag it 'missed-call'.

  5. 5

    Send the SMS through Twilio's Messages API, then log the message on the contact timeline.

  6. 6

    Add quiet-hours logic and an opt-out keyword handler (STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE) to stay compliant.
