How This Automation Works
Maintenance Schedule Created or Updated → Formatted Notification Sent to Affected Residents
Monitor Maintenance Schedule Changes
The system continuously monitors your facility management platform for new maintenance schedules or updates to existing ones. It captures all relevant data including work type, scheduled date and time, location, affected areas, technician assignments, and expected duration.
Identify Affected Residents and Stakeholders
Based on the maintenance location and scope, the system automatically identifies which residents, tenants, or stakeholders need to be notified. It retrieves contact information and communication preferences from your resident database to ensure proper routing.
Format Professional Notification Messages
The automation generates clear, professional notifications using predefined templates. Messages include all essential information: work description, timing, duration, affected areas, access requirements, and contact details for questions, formatted appropriately for each communication channel.
Send Multi-Channel Notifications
Notifications are automatically sent through the appropriate channels based on urgency and resident preferences. Email for routine updates, SMS for time-sensitive changes, and portal messages for detailed information. Each recipient receives the message in their preferred format.
Log Communication and Track Delivery
The system records all sent notifications in your communication log with timestamps and delivery status. This creates an audit trail proving residents were informed, helps track response rates, and provides data for improving future communications.
How It Works
Managing facility maintenance schedules requires constant communication with residents, tenants, and stakeholders. Manual notifications lead to missed updates, resident complaints, and unnecessary follow-up calls. This automation transforms your communication process by instantly sending schedule updates whenever maintenance plans change. Whether it's routine HVAC servicing, elevator repairs, or emergency work, your residents receive timely notifications through their preferred channels. The system captures schedule changes from your maintenance management system and automatically formats professional notifications with all relevant details including work type, duration, affected areas, and contact information. Property managers save hours daily while improving resident satisfaction and reducing complaint calls by up to 60%. Perfect for property management companies, facility operators, community associations, and building management teams.
The Trigger
Automatically activates when a new maintenance task is scheduled or an existing schedule is modified in your facility management system. Captures all relevant details including work type, location, timing, duration, and priority level to ensure complete information reaches recipients.
The Action
Sends professionally formatted maintenance notifications through email, SMS, or resident portal messages. Each notification includes work description, scheduled date and time, expected duration, affected areas, alternative access routes if applicable, and emergency contact information for questions.
