SMS Mid-Call

The SMS Mid-Call tool lets your voice agent send a text message to the caller while the call is still active. This is useful for sharing information that’s hard to communicate over the phone — links, confirmation codes, addresses, or appointment details.

When to Use

  • Send a booking confirmation link during a scheduling call
  • Share a payment URL while discussing billing
  • Send a verification code for caller authentication
  • Provide a tracking number or order details
  • Share directions or an address

How It Works

The SMS is sent to the caller’s phone number (the number they called from or the number you dialed for outbound calls).

Configuration

Via the Dashboard

  1. Open your agent and scroll to Voice Settings.
  2. Enable SMS Mid-Call.

  1. Configure message templates (optional).
