How This Automation Works
Appointment Scheduled → Multi-Channel Reminder Sent
Appointment Created in Scheduling System
When a customer books a chimney service appointment through your website, phone system, or scheduling platform, the appointment details are automatically captured including service type, date, time, customer contact information, and service address.
Customer Information Validated
The system verifies customer contact details (phone number and email address), confirms communication preferences, and checks for any special instructions or service requirements associated with the appointment.
Reminder Schedule Calculated
Based on the appointment date and time, the system automatically calculates optimal reminder delivery times (typically 72 hours, 24 hours, and 2 hours before the appointment) and queues the messages for delivery.
First Reminder Sent (3 Days Before)
An initial reminder is sent via the customer's preferred channel (SMS, email, or both) including full appointment details, service information, technician assignment, and easy options to confirm or reschedule the appointment.
Second Reminder Sent (24 Hours Before)
A follow-up reminder is delivered one day before the appointment with updated details, preparation instructions (such as ensuring fireplace access), and a final opportunity to make changes to the appointment.
Final Reminder Sent (2 Hours Before)
A last-minute reminder is sent shortly before the appointment with the technician's expected arrival time, contact information, and any last-minute updates to ensure the customer is ready and available for the service call.
How It Works
Transform your chimney service business with intelligent appointment reminder systems that automatically notify customers before scheduled inspections, cleanings, and repairs. This solution sends personalized reminders at optimal intervals—72 hours, 24 hours, and 2 hours before appointments—via the customer's preferred communication channel. Eliminate manual follow-ups, reduce last-minute cancellations, and maintain a fully optimized service calendar. The system integrates seamlessly with your existing scheduling software, customer database, and communication platforms to ensure every customer receives timely notifications with appointment details, technician information, and easy rescheduling options. Perfect for chimney sweep companies, fireplace service providers, and HVAC businesses offering chimney maintenance.
The Trigger
When a new chimney service appointment is created or confirmed in your scheduling system, the reminder sequence is automatically initiated based on the appointment date and time.
The Action
The system sends personalized reminder messages via SMS, email, or both, containing appointment details, service type, technician name, arrival window, and a link to reschedule or confirm attendance.
