What is MyOperator’s After-Call SMS feature and how do I configure, price, and troubleshoot it end-to-end?
Quick answer
After-Call SMS is an automation that fires one or two transactional text messages immediately after a call ends (Connected, Missed, or Voicemail).
- Caller-end notification — thanks or next-steps to the customer.
- User-end notification — mini call summary to the agent.
You can enable it in Dashboard → Call → After-Call SMS, pick default or custom templates, set rules and priority, and decide whether to run it One-way (caller or user) or Two-way (both).
Charges vary by plan, recipient mode, SMS length, and whether you buy an SMS pack or pay-per-use.
When should I use this guide?
Use it if you need a single, exhaustive reference on what After-Call SMS does, how to create or edit templates, meet DLT rules, price the feature on Lite / Office IVR / Cloud Call-Centre plans, avoid rule overlap, or fix cases where messages don’t deliver.
1. Feature overview
After-Call SMS automatically sends transactional texts when a call disconnects on any toll-free or non-toll-free DID. The feature does not create extra voice channels; it purely sends SMS.
When it does not work
- Feature disabled
- SMS limit hit (100 SMS/24 h)
- Non-DLT template
- Department name too long
- Plan doesn’t include notifications
2. Recipient types & use-cases
Recipient | What they receive | Typical benefit |
|---|---|---|
User-end (agent) | Caller’s number, department, date & time | Keeps a personal record of callers |
Caller-end (customer) | Thank-you, website, phone, app link | Acknowledges the interaction |
Modes:
- One-way = send to caller or user (lower cost).
- Two-way = send to both (higher cost).
3. Caller-end content guidelines (compliance)
- Content must be transactional, never promotional.
- Template cannot include coupon codes, discounts, or vouchers.
- Permitted: website links, alternate phone numbers, postal addresses.
- On Office IVR plans, caller SMS content cannot be customised; defaults apply.
4. SMS length, language & credit calculation
Language | Up to 1 SMS credit | Each additional part (multi-part) |
|---|---|---|
English | 160 chars | 153 chars per part |
Other (Unicode) | 70 chars | 67 chars per part |
5. Pricing models & plan-specific notes
A. Cloud Call-Center / Prime
- Pay-per-use: ₹0.30 per SMS (length-based).
- SMS Pack (cheaper):
Monthly Rental | Annual | SMS/month | In-plan rate |
|---|---|---|---|
₹ 250 | ₹ 3,000 | 1,000 | ₹0.25 |
₹ 500 | ₹ 6,000 | 2,800 | ₹0.18 |
₹ 800 | ₹ 9,600 | 5,000 | ₹0.16 |
Extra SMS beyond the pack → ₹0.30 each. Rental doubles if you double the pack.
B. Billing notes by edition
- Two-way enabled for any period → full two-way rental for that month.
- Office IVR: fixed rental only, no per-SMS usage; no content customisation.
- Lite: no pay-per-use option—rental only.
- Example (Lite 2CH): ₹400 One-way, ₹800 Two-way.

7. Template placeholders you can use
Placeholder | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Your IVR number |
| Company brand |
| Caller’s phone |
| Agent name |
| Agent email |
| Agent mobile |
| Call time |
| Department reached |
| Company name |
8. Why SMS may not send & self-checks
- SMS limit exceeded (100 SMS/24 h).
- Department text too long.
- Notification feature not subscribed.
- Template/header rejected by DLT.
- Rule disabled or no conditions matched.
9. Rule overlap & priority logic
Multiple rules can satisfy one call. The system executes only the highest-priority (top) rule.
- Users can create multiple rules based on different criteria (particular user or department, incoming/outgoing, connected/missed, etc.). If multiple rules overlap, the higher priority rule executes and sends SMS notifications.
- Edit the priority of overlapping rules by clicking Set priority in the actions section of After-Call SMS (Custom) rules.
Alt text: Drag and drop rules to change the priority
10. Billing formula & examples (Lite channel-line)
Let L1 = lines One-way all month; L2 = lines with Two-way at any point.
Monthly rental = (L1 × ₹200) + (L2 × ₹400)
Example for Lite 2CH:
- One-way only → ₹400 (2 × ₹200)
- Two-way on both lines → ₹800 (2 × ₹400)
