After-Hours Auto-Responder
Never lose a lead because you closed for the day.
The Problem
When a potential customer calls or messages after hours, your auto-responder captures their info, answers common questions, and sets expectations — so you start every morning with warm leads instead of missed opportunities.
- Missed calls after 5pm go straight to competitors
- Voicemail messages get lost or forgotten
- Emergency requests have no way to reach you outside hours
- You're losing leads every evening and weekend

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about after-hours auto-responder.
How do I respond to leads after hours?
An after-hours auto-responder immediately acknowledges incoming calls, texts, or form submissions when you're closed. It captures the lead's details, answers common questions (pricing ranges, service areas), and queues everything for morning follow-up.
This is critical for contractors — 78% of customers hire the first business that responds. If a homeowner texts at 9pm about a plumbing issue, the auto-responder ensures you're first in line, not the competitor they call next.
Will an auto-responder replace my team?
No — it handles the initial response and information gathering so your team starts each morning with qualified, organized leads instead of a pile of voicemails.
Urgent requests can trigger immediate notifications to an on-call team member, while routine inquiries are neatly queued for business hours.
How much does an after-hours auto-responder cost?
Social Hues sets up after-hours auto-responders starting at $199/month, which includes the system setup, custom response flows, and monthly optimization based on lead data.
Compare that to a missed lead worth $2,000-$10,000 for a contractor — the system pays for itself with a single recovered opportunity.
