How This Automation Works
Appointment Scheduled 24 Hours Prior → Personalized Reminder Sent
Schedule Monitoring
The system connects to your electrical service scheduling software and continuously monitors all upcoming appointments. It calculates the exact 24-hour mark before each scheduled service call in the customer's local time zone.
Trigger Activation
When an appointment reaches the 24-hour threshold, the system automatically activates and retrieves all relevant appointment details including customer contact information, service type, technician assignment, location, and any special instructions.
Message Personalization
The system generates a customized reminder message using your branded template, inserting the customer's name, appointment date and time, service address, technician name, estimated duration, and any job-specific details. The message maintains your company's professional tone and includes your contact information.
Multi-Channel Delivery
The personalized reminder is sent through the customer's preferred communication channel—SMS, email, or both. The system includes interactive elements like confirmation buttons, rescheduling links, and direct reply options to facilitate easy customer responses.
Response Processing
Customer responses are automatically captured and processed. Confirmations update the appointment status, reschedule requests trigger booking workflows, and questions are routed to the appropriate team member. All interactions are logged in your CRM for complete visibility.
Follow-Up Actions
Based on customer responses, the system triggers appropriate follow-up actions. Confirmed appointments receive preparation instructions, unresponsive customers may receive a secondary reminder, and cancellations trigger rebooking outreach or schedule optimization to fill the open slot.
How It Works
Professional electrical contractors face constant challenges with missed appointments and schedule disruptions. This automated reminder system sends personalized notifications exactly 24 hours before each scheduled service call, giving customers adequate time to confirm, reschedule, or prepare for the technician's arrival. The system pulls appointment data directly from your scheduling software, customizes the message with job details, customer name, and technician information, then delivers it via the customer's preferred communication channel. By implementing this automation, electrical businesses eliminate the manual task of calling or texting each customer, ensure consistent communication, and dramatically reduce the costly problem of no-shows. The system works seamlessly in the background, freeing your office staff to focus on higher-value activities while maintaining professional customer touchpoints. Advanced features include automatic rescheduling links, two-way confirmation responses, and integration with your existing CRM and scheduling platforms.
The Trigger
The system continuously monitors your appointment schedule and automatically triggers when any electrical service appointment reaches the 24-hour mark before the scheduled time. This real-time monitoring ensures every customer receives their reminder at precisely the right moment, regardless of when the appointment was originally booked.
The Action
A customized reminder message is instantly generated containing the appointment date, time, service type, technician name, and any special instructions. The message is delivered via SMS, email, or both based on customer preferences stored in your system. Customers can confirm, cancel, or request changes with a single click.
