How This Automation Works

Service Date Anniversary ReachedInspection Reminder Sent and Appointment Scheduled

1

Monitor Service History Database

The system continuously monitors your customer database, tracking the last chimney liner inspection date for each customer and calculating when the next inspection is due based on recommended intervals.

2

Trigger Reminder Sequence

When a customer's inspection date approaches (typically 30 days before due), the system automatically initiates a personalized reminder sequence tailored to their service history and preferred communication method.

3

Send Multi-Channel Notifications

Personalized inspection reminders are sent via email, SMS, or both, including the customer's name, last service date, why the inspection is important, and a direct link to schedule their appointment online.

4

Capture Booking Response

When customers click the booking link or respond to the reminder, their response is automatically captured and their preferred appointment time is recorded in the system.

5

Update Calendar and Create Service Ticket

Confirmed appointments are automatically added to your scheduling calendar with all relevant customer information, previous inspection notes, and any specific liner concerns, creating a complete service ticket for your technician.

6

Send Confirmation and Pre-Service Reminders

The system automatically sends appointment confirmations immediately after booking and follow-up reminders 48 hours and 24 hours before the scheduled inspection to minimize no-shows.

By eliminating manual tracking and follow-ups, you ensure no customer misses their critical safety inspection while reducing administrative workload by hours each week.

The Action

Sends personalized inspection reminder notifications to customers via their preferred communication channel, includes booking link or call-to-action, and automatically adds confirmed appointments to your scheduling system with all relevant customer history and notes.
