Clara Now Texts Your Callers Automatically

You’ve seen Clara answer your calls. Now Clara can text every caller automatically the moment a call ends, with exactly the message you choose.

It’s called Auto Text Follow-Ups, and it’s one of the most-requested features we’ve ever shipped.

Why follow-ups matter more than you think

Missing a call is one thing. Missing the follow-up is where you actually lose the job.

Most callers don’t leave voicemails. They move on. But a text that lands within seconds of a call keeps you front of mind while they’re still deciding who to go with. You don’t have to do anything. Clara handles it the moment the call ends.

Pick the message that fits your business

There are four follow-up types to choose from:

A simple, personal acknowledgement that arrives within seconds of the call ending. Low effort, high impact.

Book an appointment

Clara texts a booking link straight after the call. No back-and-forth, no missed opportunities: the caller can schedule before they’ve even put their phone down.

For returning customers or follow-up jobs. Clara sends the link so they can pay without waiting for you to follow up manually.

Custom message

Write anything you want, with any link you’d like to include. Promotions, instructions, intake forms, entirely up to you.

Tip: Not sure which to pick? Start with "Thanks for calling." It works across every business type and consistently gets the highest engagement. You can always switch later.

How to set it up in under a minute

1. Open the Clara app

2. Go to Receptionist (bottom right tab), then Follow-ups

3. Select your follow-up type

Choosing a follow-up type: Thanks for calling, Book appointment, Payment link, or Custom message

4. Add your instructions and link (optional)

Setting up a custom follow-up message with an optional link

That’s it. Every caller Clara speaks to will get your message automatically, from that point on.

The bottom line

You’re already not missing calls. Auto Text Follow-Ups means you’re not missing what comes after, either. It takes less than a minute to set up and works quietly in the background every time Clara picks up.
