Turn On Wallet Auto Recharge So Client Texts Never Stop

Auto Recharge refills a sub-account's wallet when the balance runs low, so reminders, follow-ups and missed call texts don't silently fail.

Every sub-account has a wallet that pays for usage such as SMS, calls and email sending. When the balance reaches zero, those sends fail. The lead gets no text, and often nobody notices until the client complains. Auto Recharge tops the wallet up automatically when the balance drops below a level you choose.

This matters most on accounts built on automation: missed call text back, appointment reminders and speed to lead follow-up. Those workflows are quiet when they work, so an empty wallet can go unnoticed for days. Auto Recharge turns a silent failure into a routine charge.

Two details make it work. Set the threshold high enough to cover a busy day of sending, not just a few messages, because a bulk campaign or reactivation send can drain a small balance fast. And keep the card on file current, since a declined card means no recharge. If you rebill clients for usage, check your rebilling settings too. Test on one account before you roll it out to the rest.
