How This Automation Works
Job Status Changed to Complete → Service History Record Created
Monitor Job Completion Events
The system continuously monitors your field service platform for job status changes, immediately detecting when technicians mark appliance repair jobs as complete and capturing the completion timestamp along with the associated job ID.
Extract Complete Job Details
Upon detecting job completion, the system retrieves all relevant repair data including customer information, appliance details (make, model, serial number), services performed, parts used with quantities and costs, labor hours, technician notes, diagnostic findings, and any photos or documents attached to the job.
Identify Appliance Record
The system matches the completed job to the correct appliance record in your service database using serial numbers or customer-appliance relationships, ensuring the service history entry is linked to the specific unit that was serviced.
Format Service History Entry
All captured job data is structured into a standardized service history record format, organizing information into logical categories (service details, parts inventory, costs, technician observations) and calculating relevant metrics like warranty remaining, service intervals, and total customer lifetime value.
Write to Master Database
The formatted service record is automatically written to your master service history database, creating a timestamped entry that's linked to both the appliance and customer account, with all technical details, costs, and documentation properly indexed for future reference.
Update Related Systems
The automation propagates relevant updates to connected systems—updating parts inventory counts, adjusting warranty tracking timelines, triggering customer satisfaction surveys, updating technician performance metrics, and notifying relevant staff that documentation is complete and ready for review or invoicing.
How It Works
Transform your appliance service record-keeping with intelligent automation that instantly updates customer service history when jobs are marked complete. This system captures all critical repair details—including parts replaced, service performed, technician notes, and warranty information—and automatically writes them to your master service database. By eliminating manual transcription between job completion and history updates, you ensure every service call is accurately documented with complete technical details, timestamps, and cost breakdowns. This creates a comprehensive maintenance timeline for each appliance, enabling better diagnostics on repeat visits, accurate warranty tracking, and powerful insights into common failure patterns. Service coordinators save hours previously spent consolidating paperwork, while technicians benefit from instant access to complete repair histories during customer visits. The result is a living service database that grows smarter with every completed job, improving first-time fix rates and customer satisfaction.

The Action
Automatically compiles all job completion data and creates a comprehensive service history entry in your customer database, linking the repair details to the specific appliance, customer account, and service timeline with complete technical documentation.
