FAQ
Everything you need to know. Can't find your question? Email us.
Setup & Installation
+
How long does setup take?
10 minutes. We handle the call forwarding configuration for you during onboarding. You don't need any technical knowledge.
+
Will it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. Any UK mobile or landline works. We configure call forwarding in 10 minutes. After that, missed calls automatically trigger the SMS bot.
+
Do I need to give you access to my phone?
No. You set up call forwarding through your carrier (same as a normal voicemail), and we handle the rest. Your phone stays yours.
+
What if I already have call forwarding set up?
We'll replace it with ours. Takes 5 minutes. You can revert anytime—just dial the code to cancel (we show you how).
How It Works
+
How fast do prospects get the SMS after a missed call?
Within 30 seconds. The bot is live 24/7/365. If it's 3 AM and someone calls, they get a text immediately.
+
What if they don't reply to the bot?
It doesn't matter. Call forwarding still works—they can reach you by calling back normally. The bot is a bonus, not a requirement.
+
Can I customize the bot questions?
Yes, on Growth tier and above. Tell us what you want to know and we update the flow for you. Takes 1–2 days.
+
Does the bot ask questions I can't customize?
By default it asks about property type, timeline, and budget. You can customize all of it on Growth. Starter tier gets the default flow.
+
What if prospects send gibberish or rude messages?
The bot is trained to handle messy input. Typos, abbreviations, and casual language all work fine. Rude messages: the bot stays professional and moves forward.
Booking & Calendar
+
Does the bot actually book into my calendar?
Yes, on Growth tier. The bot asks for a preferred day/time, confirms it, and creates an event in your calendar (Google Calendar or Outlook). Starter tier gets a lead summary only.
+
What if my calendar is full?
The bot won't overbook you. It shows available slots based on your calendar. If you're fully booked, prospects get "let me check and confirm" instead.
+
Can I set quiet hours or days off?
Yes. Mark days/times as unavailable on your calendar and the bot respects them. Perfect for holidays or admin days.
+
Do reminders actually reduce no-shows?
Yes. In our pilot, reminders cut no-shows from 20% to 0%. A simple "See you tomorrow at 2 PM" SMS works better than you'd expect.
Leads & Dashboard
+
Where do I see the leads?
Your personal dashboard. Log in, see all qualified leads with a summary. Export as CSV anytime. No special software needed—just a web browser.
+
Can I export leads to my CRM?
CSV export is standard on all tiers. Zapier integration works on Growth+ (thousands of apps supported). Native CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot) coming Q1 2027.
+
Can I see call history or recordings?
No. We only process the missed-call trigger and SMS conversation. Call audio is never stored. Your leads show SMS summaries only.
+
How long are leads stored?
Indefinitely on Growth tier. Starter tier keeps leads for 90 days (you can export earlier). You own the data—we never sell it.
Pricing & Billing
+
Do I have to pay the setup fee if I'm on trial?
No. The setup fee is waived during your 2-week free trial. If you convert to paid, the setup fee applies (but many pilots love us enough they don't mind).
+
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract. Month-to-month only. Cancel with one email. Call forwarding reverts to normal within 24 hours.
+
Which tier should I start on?
Start on Starter (£99/month). If you're getting 30+ leads/month after a few weeks, move to Growth (£149/month). Growth's per-lead cost is 40% cheaper.
+
Can I get an annual discount?
Yes. Annual billing saves 15% on Growth and up. Contact us if you're interested.
+
Do you charge per SMS or per lead?
Flat monthly fee. Unlimited SMSes and leads. No per-message charges, ever.
Privacy & Security
+
Is my data safe?
Yes. We encrypt all data in transit and at rest. We're GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified. We never sell or share lead data.
+
How long do you keep SMS messages?
SMS logs are kept for 90 days. Lead summaries are kept indefinitely (unless you delete them). You can request deletion anytime.
+
Do you comply with GDPR?
Yes, fully. All EU data is stored in UK datacenters. You own the data. Prospects can request deletion and we comply within 30 days.
+
Are SMS messages HIPAA compliant?
Our infrastructure supports HIPAA, but individual tiers don't include HIPAA BAA by default. Contact us if you need it.
Support & Troubleshooting
+
How do I get help?
Email support@racso.io (Starter: 24–48h response), or WhatsApp for Growth+ (1–2h response). We're UK-based and usually respond same business day.
+
What if the bot stops responding?
Very rare, but if it happens: call forwarding still works. Reach out to support and we'll restart it (usually 5 mins). We aim for 99.9% uptime.
+
Do you have a status page?
Yes. Visit status.racso.io for real-time uptime and incident reports. We post updates there and notify affected users.
+
Can you help me test before going live?
Absolutely. We walk you through a live test during onboarding. Growth tier includes a 30-min setup call. Starter tier: we'll do it via email.
