Auto Message After CallMissed call message template examples for WhatsApp
Each missed call message template below fits a lock-screen preview and works as written in Auto Message After Call.
A good missed call message template apologises once, promises a specific callback time and gives the caller something to do now, in under 40 words.
Auto Message After Call sends a missed-call template whenever a call rings out or is rejected, so the wording on this page is written to be sent without anyone checking it first. The templates are grouped by situation, covering a short apology, a callback promise, outside business hours, busy with a customer, and booking or payment links. Each one uses {name} for the caller's first name, which the app fills in from your contacts; unsaved callers simply get the sentence without a name, so every template is written to read naturally either way. Three rules make a missed call message work. Keep it under about 40 words so the whole text shows in the WhatsApp notification. Give a real time, such as 4 pm, rather than soon. End with an action the caller can take straight away, like replying with their question.

- “Hi {name}, sorry I missed your call. Reply here and I will get back to you today.”

Missed call message template FAQ
How to create a missed call message?
Write one or two sentences: an apology, a callback time and an action. In Auto Message After Call, add it as a Missed template and mark it active.
How do you politely say you missed a call?
Name the caller, say sorry once, and promise a specific time. Specific feels polite because it shows you will act.
How do I text about a missed call?
Send a short WhatsApp or SMS that mentions the missed call and asks what they needed. The app sends the WhatsApp version for you the moment the call ends.
How do I apologize for a missed call?
A single 'sorry I missed your call' is enough. Spend the rest of the message on when you will reply.
How long should a missed call message be?
Under about 40 words, so the full text fits the WhatsApp preview and the caller reads it without opening the chat.
Should a missed call message include my business name?
Yes, when callers may not have your number saved. Add it to the first sentence, for example 'Hi, this is Hemraj from Beniwal Motors'.
Can I add a link to a missed call message?
Yes. A booking, payment or catalogue link turns the reply into an action. Paste the full link so WhatsApp makes it tappable.
Can a missed call message include a file?
Yes, one file per template, as large as 10 MB, for example a price list PDF or a menu.
Should I use emojis in a missed call message?
One is fine for a friendly brand, such as a wave. Skip them for legal, medical or finance callers.
What if the caller is not in my contacts?
The {name} variable stays empty, so write the greeting to work without it, for example 'Hi, sorry I missed your call'.
Can I have a different missed call message for after hours?
Templates are chosen by call type, not time of day. Many owners use one wording that works at any hour.
Can I write the template in Hindi or another language?
Yes. WhatsApp supports every script, so the message goes out exactly as you type it.
Will the same caller get the message twice?
No. The cooldown, 7 days by default, stops a second message to the same number.
Is it better to send the missed call message by WhatsApp or SMS?
WhatsApp carries links, files and read ticks, and the app can send it by itself. SMS opens ready for one tap.
Can my staff use the same missed call template?
Yes. Templates live in your account and can be assigned to employees, so every phone sends the approved wording.
