How This Automation Works
Inspection Due Date Approaching → Customer Notification and Inspection Scheduled
Monitor Inspection Due Dates
The system continuously tracks all prefab chimney installations and last inspection dates in your database, calculating when the next inspection is due based on manufacturer guidelines (typically 12 months) and service agreement terms.
Send Initial Customer Reminder
When an inspection comes due within 60 days, the system automatically sends the first reminder notification via email or SMS, informing customers their prefab chimney inspection is approaching and providing scheduling options or a booking link.
Enable Online Scheduling
Customers receive a link to view available inspection time slots based on technician calendars. They can select their preferred date and time, with the system checking real-time availability to prevent double-booking and scheduling conflicts.
Confirm Appointment Details
Once scheduled, the system sends immediate confirmation with appointment details, technician information, preparation instructions specific to prefab chimneys, and calendar invitations to both customer and technician with automated reminders leading up to the visit.
Generate Pre-Inspection Documentation
The system creates customized inspection checklists based on the specific prefab chimney model and manufacturer, providing technicians with relevant safety standards, previous inspection notes, and any recorded issues requiring follow-up during the upcoming visit.
Send Appointment Reminders
Automated reminders are sent 7 days and 24 hours before the scheduled inspection via SMS and email, reducing no-shows significantly. If customers need to reschedule, they can use the provided link to select a new time without phone calls.
Update Records and Schedule Follow-Up
After inspection completion, the system logs the inspection date, updates the next due date for 12 months later, and can automatically send post-inspection follow-ups requesting reviews, scheduling any needed repairs, or confirming satisfaction with the service provided.
How It Works
Managing prefab chimney inspections manually creates scheduling conflicts, missed appointments, and compliance gaps that put homeowners at risk. This automation system streamlines the entire inspection process by automatically scheduling appointments based on manufacturer recommendations, sending timely reminders to customers, tracking inspection history, and generating compliance reports. From initial scheduling through post-inspection follow-up, every step is coordinated seamlessly to ensure no prefab chimney goes uninspected while reducing administrative burden on your team. The system integrates with your existing calendar, customer database, and documentation tools to create a complete inspection management solution that maintains safety standards and customer satisfaction.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a prefab chimney inspection becomes due based on installation date, last inspection date, manufacturer guidelines (typically annual), or customer service agreement terms. It can also trigger when a new prefab chimney installation is logged, automatically scheduling the first inspection.
The Action
The system automatically sends inspection reminder notifications to customers via email or SMS, creates calendar appointments with available technicians, updates the inspection database with scheduled dates, and generates pre-inspection checklists specific to the prefab chimney model and manufacturer requirements.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Scheduling Conflicts
Real-time calendar integration prevents double-booking and ensures technicians have optimal route scheduling. Customers see only genuinely available time slots, eliminating frustrating callback loops and improving first-contact booking rates.
Reduce No-Show Appointments
Multi-channel reminder sequences via email and SMS keep inspections top-of-mind for customers. Automated reminders at 60, 30, 7, and 1 day intervals dramatically reduce missed appointments, improving technician utilization and revenue per day.
Maintain Compliance Records
Every inspection, communication, and finding is automatically logged with timestamps and details. This creates an indisputable compliance record for warranty claims, insurance requirements, and liability protection while eliminating manual paperwork.
Increase Customer Retention
Proactive reminders position your business as a trusted safety partner rather than requiring customers to remember annual inspections. Automated follow-up creates a seamless service experience that encourages long-term customer relationships and referrals.
Optimize Technician Productivity
Eliminate administrative time spent on phone tag, manual scheduling, and appointment coordination. Technicians receive pre-populated inspection checklists and optimized routing, allowing them to focus on quality service delivery rather than paperwork and logistics.
