How This Automation Works
Real Estate Inspection Request Received → Inspection Scheduled and Confirmed
Capture Inspection Request
System receives chimney inspection request from website form, real estate agent portal, email, or phone log. Request includes property address, inspection type (pre-listing, buyer, post-repair), urgency level, access instructions, and stakeholder contact information.
Validate and Categorize
Automation validates property address, determines service area coverage, identifies inspection type requirements, checks for previous service history, and flags any special requirements such as historic property status or complex chimney systems.
Match and Assign Inspector
System evaluates available inspectors based on location proximity, certification requirements, specialization match, current schedule availability, and performance ratings. Assigns the best-fit inspector and creates preliminary booking.
Confirm Availability and Book
Automation checks inspector calendar for conflicts, reserves the time slot, and sends booking notification to inspector for acceptance. Upon acceptance, the appointment becomes confirmed and all calendars sync automatically.
Notify All Stakeholders
System sends customized confirmation emails to real estate agent (with inspector credentials and estimated completion time), homeowner (with preparation checklist and access requirements), and inspector (with property details, special instructions, and navigation link).
Send Automated Reminders
Scheduled reminders go out 48 hours and 24 hours before inspection. The 24-hour reminder requests confirmation from homeowner. System flags unconfirmed appointments for office review and potential follow-up.
Create Job Documentation
Automation generates inspection job ticket with property history, previous service notes, access codes, emergency contacts, and required documentation checklist. Inspector receives mobile-accessible job packet with all necessary information.
How It Works
Transform your chimney inspection business for real estate transactions with intelligent scheduling automation. When a real estate agent or homeowner requests a pre-sale or pre-purchase chimney inspection, the system automatically checks inspector availability, books appointments, sends confirmations to all parties, and syncs calendars. Eliminate phone tag, reduce scheduling errors, and ensure compliance-critical inspections happen on time. Perfect for chimney service companies serving the residential real estate market, this automation handles multiple inspection types including pre-listing assessments, buyer inspections, and post-repair verifications. The system manages inspector assignments based on location, certification level, and specialization while keeping all stakeholders informed throughout the process.
The Trigger
Automation activates when a new chimney inspection request arrives via website form, email, phone call log, or real estate agent portal. The system captures property details, urgency level, inspection type, and preferred timeframes.
The Action
The system automatically assigns a qualified inspector based on location and availability, books the appointment, sends confirmation emails to the agent and homeowner, adds the inspection to the inspector's calendar, and creates a job ticket with property access instructions and special requirements.
