How This Automation Works
New Lead Submission Received → Lead Captured and Routed to Technician
Monitor All Lead Sources
The system continuously monitors your website forms, social media accounts, email inbox, phone system, and any third-party lead platforms for new service inquiries. When a potential customer submits a request through any channel, the information is immediately captured.
Validate and Standardize Contact Data
Contact information is automatically validated to ensure phone numbers and email addresses are correctly formatted and deliverable. Addresses are standardized using postal databases, and duplicate leads are identified to prevent multiple technicians from contacting the same customer.
Extract and Categorize Service Details
The system analyzes the customer's message to identify the appliance type, problem description, urgency indicators, and any mentioned brand or model information. This data is categorized and structured for easy reference by technicians and used to assign priority levels.
Create Comprehensive CRM Record
A complete lead record is automatically created in your CRM or service management system with all captured information, including customer details, appliance information, service request description, lead source, timestamp, and initial priority score. Existing customer records are updated rather than duplicated.
Determine Optimal Technician Assignment
The system applies routing rules to identify the best technician based on service territory coverage, current availability and schedule, appliance specialty or certification, existing workload, and proximity to the service address. For urgent requests, on-call technicians are prioritized.
Notify Assigned Technician Instantly
The selected technician receives an immediate notification via their preferred channel (SMS, mobile app push notification, or email) with complete lead details, customer contact information, service address, appliance issue description, and priority level. The notification includes direct links to contact the customer or update lead status.
Send Confirmation to Customer
An automated confirmation message is sent to the customer acknowledging receipt of their service request and providing an expected response timeframe. This reassures the customer and sets expectations while reducing inbound follow-up calls.
Track Response and Auto-Escalate
The system monitors whether the assigned technician responds within the configured timeframe (typically 15 minutes). If no response is detected, the lead automatically escalates to a backup technician or manager to ensure timely follow-up and prevent lost opportunities.
How It Works
For appliance repair businesses, every lead counts. This automated lead capture system monitors your website forms, phone calls, social media messages, and email inquiries 24/7, instantly collecting new lead information and storing it in your CRM. The system automatically validates contact details, enriches lead data with property and appliance information, assigns priority scores based on urgency and service type, and routes qualified leads to available technicians in the appropriate service area. By eliminating manual data entry and ensuring no lead falls through the cracks, you can respond faster, book more appointments, and grow your service business without adding administrative overhead.
The Trigger
Activates when a potential customer submits a service request through any channel—website contact form, Facebook message, Google Business Profile inquiry, phone system, or email. The system monitors all lead sources continuously and triggers immediately upon detecting new contact information.
The Action
The system validates and standardizes contact information, creates a complete lead record in your CRM with appliance type and issue details, assigns a priority level based on urgency keywords, checks technician availability and service areas, sends the lead to the appropriate technician via SMS or app notification, and creates a follow-up task if no response is received within 15 minutes.
