How This Automation Works
Repair Appointment Scheduled → Deposit Invoice Sent
Appointment Scheduled
Customer books a chimney repair service through your website, phone system, or scheduling platform. The system captures all job details including service type, date, time, customer information, and property address.
Deposit Calculation Applied
Based on the scheduled service type, the system automatically calculates the required deposit amount using your predefined rules—whether percentage-based, flat rate, or service-specific amounts for inspections, repairs, or installations.
Invoice Generation
A professional deposit invoice is automatically created with all relevant details: customer information, service description, appointment date, deposit amount, payment terms, due date, and your business information with branding.
Automated Delivery
The deposit invoice is immediately sent to the customer via email with a clear subject line, payment instructions, secure payment links, and details about what the deposit covers. Customers can pay directly from the email.
Payment Tracking
The system monitors payment status in real-time. When customers pay, the deposit is automatically recorded, the appointment is confirmed, and your financial records are updated without manual data entry.
Reminder Management
For unpaid deposits, automatic reminders are sent at configured intervals (e.g., 3 days before appointment). The system flags at-risk bookings and can automatically send final notices or trigger appointment review protocols.
How It Works
Managing deposit collection for chimney repair jobs shouldn't require hours of manual invoicing. This automation instantly creates and sends professional deposit invoices the moment a repair appointment is scheduled. Whether you're booking inspections, chimney sweeps, liner installations, or masonry repairs, customers receive their deposit invoice immediately with clear payment instructions and secure payment links. The system tracks payment status, sends automatic reminders for unpaid deposits, and updates your records in real-time. Eliminate the administrative burden of chasing deposits, reduce scheduling gaps from unpaid bookings, and ensure consistent cash flow. Your team focuses on repairs while the system handles deposit collection from initial contact through payment confirmation, creating a seamless experience that builds customer trust and protects your business from revenue loss.
The Trigger
When a chimney repair appointment is confirmed in your scheduling system, the automation immediately initiates the deposit invoice process, capturing all job details, customer information, and service specifications.
The Action
A professionally formatted deposit invoice is automatically generated with job details, deposit amount, payment terms, and secure payment links, then immediately delivered to the customer via email with payment instructions and deadline.

Stop spending time creating individual deposit invoices for each repair job. The system generates perfect invoices automatically with all details populated from your scheduling data, freeing your team to focus on service delivery.
Reduce No-Show Appointments
Collecting deposits creates financial commitment that dramatically reduces missed appointments. Customers with deposits are significantly more likely to keep scheduled repairs or provide advance cancellation notice.
