How after-hours calls are handled
You define your business hours in your settings, and Revenue Sol uses them to decide how to treat each incoming call. Outside those hours, you have a few options for what happens:- The 24/7 AI receptionist answers the call, talks to the caller, answers common questions from your Knowledge Hub, and can book a job on the spot.
- The call rolls to voicemail so the caller can leave a message.
- The caller receives an automatic text-back inviting them to reply by SMS instead.
The AI receptionist works around the clock on every plan, so “after-hours” does not have to mean “no one answers.” Many home-service businesses let the AI take overnight calls and only fall back to voicemail for specific scenarios.
Voicemail capture and transcription
When a caller leaves a voicemail, Revenue Sol captures the recording and automatically transcribes it to text. Both the audio and the transcript appear as a new conversation in your unified inbox, attached to the matching contact (or a new lead if the number is unknown).The message is transcribed
Revenue Sol converts the audio to a readable transcript so you can scan it without listening.
It lands in your inbox
The voicemail, transcript, and caller details show up as a conversation, and you get a push notification on the mobile app.
Automatic text-back so leads aren’t lost
A missed call after hours often means a lost customer, because the caller simply dials the next business on their list. To prevent that, Revenue Sol can send an automatic text-back to anyone whose call you miss outside business hours. The text-back opens a two-way SMS conversation in your inbox, and you can let the AI Employee handle the reply automatically using your AI credits and Knowledge Hub, or jump in yourself. Either way, the lead stays engaged instead of going cold overnight.Texts and calls are sent through your own Twilio or RingCentral number and billed at carrier cost with no markup. Make sure a number is connected so after-hours messaging works. See Phone setup.
