If you only need an automatic reply, standalone text back may be enough. Front Desk also answers the call and books the visit.

A caller who gets an answer can ask a question and book now. If the call cannot connect, the text identifies the business and asks what they need. Their reply goes to the right conversation, where the booking or callback can continue.
Use your real business name and keep the reply about the caller's request. A missed call is not permission to add someone to a marketing list.
TCPA rules govern consent for automated texts. Record the required consent, identify the sender and honor STOP and other opt-out requests. A2P 10DLC registers a business and its messaging use with carriers for US local-number texting. Registration does not replace consent. Keep appointment replies separate from marketing messages.
Your team still needs a callback plan. A text sent is not a job booked. Keep the missed call visible until someone books, the caller declines or the request reaches the person responsible for it.
Those inputs put about $3,248 in potential bookings at stake each month.
Missed calls per week × 4.33 weeks × average value × the share that would book. Booking value is not profit or a promise of recovered sales.
That's more than Core costs. Core is $697 a month. See the plans

Frequently asked questions
Do not treat it as permission for marketing. Keep any response tied to the request, obtain the consent required for the message you send, and honor opt-outs.
No. A2P 10DLC is carrier registration. TCPA consent and opt-out handling are separate requirements.
