How This Automation Works

New Service Request ReceivedTechnician Assigned and Customer Notified

1

Capture Service Request

When a customer submits a booking request through any channel (website form, phone call transcription, email, Facebook message), the system instantly captures all details including address, chimney type, service needed, and preferred dates.

2

Check Availability and Optimize Route

The system automatically queries technician calendars, identifies available time slots within the customer's preferred window, and calculates optimal routing to minimize drive time between appointments.

3

Assign Qualified Technician

Based on location proximity, certifications, specializations, and current workload, the system assigns the best-suited sweeper and blocks the time slot on their calendar to prevent double-booking.

4

Send Customer Confirmation

Instantly deliver confirmation via the customer's preferred channel (email/SMS) including appointment date, time, technician name, preparation instructions, and a link to reschedule if needed.

5

Update Dispatch Board

Populate the technician's mobile app and dispatch dashboard with complete job details, property information, service history, access instructions, and any special customer notes.

6

Send Automated Reminders

Trigger reminder sequences at 48 hours and 24 hours before the appointment with preparation checklists and technician ETA updates to ensure customers are ready and present.

7

Track and Follow-up

After service completion, automatically send satisfaction surveys, request reviews, schedule next year's inspection, and add customers to seasonal maintenance campaigns for ongoing engagement.
