How This Automation Works
Job Status Changed to Complete → Manager Receives Instant Alert
Technician Completes Job
Field technician or maintenance worker marks the job as complete in your job management system, mobile app, or work order platform, triggering the automation sequence.
System Captures Completion Data
The automation immediately extracts all relevant job information including completion timestamp, technician details, work summary, location, materials used, time spent, and any uploaded photos or documentation.
Notification Formatted and Routed
The system formats the captured data into a structured notification template and identifies the appropriate facility manager based on location, job type, or organizational hierarchy.
Multi-Channel Alert Delivered
The formatted notification is delivered to the manager through their preferred communication channel (email, SMS, mobile push notification, or dashboard alert) with all relevant details and action links.
Manager Reviews and Takes Action
The facility manager receives the instant alert, reviews the completion details, and can immediately approve the work, authorize payment, schedule follow-up inspections, or request additional information through embedded action buttons.
How It Works
This automated process eliminates manual status updates by instantly alerting facility managers when technicians mark jobs as complete. The system captures completion details, timestamps, and work summaries, then delivers structured notifications via email, SMS, or dashboard alerts. Facility managers gain real-time visibility into completed work, can quickly review job details, and approve invoices or next steps without delay. This reduces response times from hours to minutes, prevents communication gaps between field teams and management, and creates an auditable trail of completion timestamps. Perfect for multi-site operations where managers oversee dozens of simultaneous jobs and need immediate awareness when critical repairs finish.
The Trigger
When a technician or field worker marks a maintenance job, repair task, or facility work order as completed in your job management system, the automation immediately captures this status change along with completion timestamp, job details, technician notes, and any attached documentation or photos.
The Action
The facility manager immediately receives a formatted notification containing the job ID, location, completion time, technician name, work summary, and any relevant attachments. The alert is delivered through their preferred channel (email, SMS, mobile app, or dashboard notification) with direct links to review full job details, approve invoicing, or initiate follow-up actions.
