How This Automation Works
New Service Booking from Referred Customer → Referral Credit Automatically Applied to Customer Account
Capture Referral Information at Booking
When a new customer books appliance repair service, the system captures referral details including referrer name, referral code, or link source through your booking interface.
Validate Referral Eligibility
The system automatically verifies that the referrer is an existing customer, the referred customer is genuinely new, the referral code is valid and active, and all program eligibility requirements are met.
Calculate Credit Amount
Based on your predefined rules (service type, booking value, promotion tier), the system calculates the appropriate credit amount to award the referrer, applying any special bonuses or caps.
Update Customer Account
The referrer's account balance is automatically updated with the earned credit, creating a transaction record with full details including referral source, date, and amount.
Send Confirmation Notifications
Automated emails or SMS messages are sent to the referrer confirming their earned credit and to the new customer welcoming them and acknowledging the referral relationship.
Generate Reporting Data
All referral activity is logged for analytics, including conversion rates, credit liability, top referrers, and program ROI metrics accessible through automated dashboards and reports.
How It Works
Managing referral credits manually creates administrative burden and delays reward fulfillment, potentially damaging customer loyalty. This automation streamlines the entire referral credit lifecycle—from initial referral submission through validation, credit application, and customer notification. When a customer refers someone who books a service, the system automatically verifies the referral, calculates the appropriate credit amount, updates customer accounts, and sends confirmation notifications. This eliminates spreadsheet tracking, reduces processing errors, and ensures referrers receive their rewards promptly, encouraging continued advocacy for your business.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a new customer books an appliance repair service and indicates they were referred by an existing customer, or when referral codes are used during booking.
The Action
The system validates the referral relationship, calculates the credit amount based on predefined rules, updates the referrer's account balance, sends confirmation to both parties, and logs the transaction for reporting.
