How This Automation Works
Service Interval Reached → Appointment Scheduled & Customer Notified
Service Interval Monitoring
The system continuously tracks days since last track alignment service for all active customers. When a door approaches the recommended service interval (based on door type, usage, and service history), it flags the customer for outreach and creates a pending service opportunity.
Multi-Channel Customer Notification
Automated reminders are sent via email and SMS with personalized messaging that includes the customer's door model, last service date, and why alignment is important. Messages include direct links to online scheduling, estimated service duration, and current pricing.
Online Booking & Calendar Integration
Customers access the booking portal to view available technician time slots filtered by service area and expertise. Upon selection, the appointment automatically populates your calendar system, blocks the time slot, and triggers confirmation messages.
Service Ticket Creation
A comprehensive service ticket is generated containing customer details, complete door service history with photos, previous technician observations, door specifications, warranty information, and GPS directions. The assigned technician receives the ticket via mobile app.
Pre-Service Preparation & Reminders
24 hours before the appointment, automated reminders are sent to customers with preparation instructions and technician ETA updates. Technicians receive route optimization and any last-minute customer notes or special instructions.
Post-Service Documentation & Follow-Up
After service completion, technicians upload photos, notes, and recommendations directly into the system. Customers automatically receive service summaries, invoices, and feedback requests. The next service interval is calculated and scheduled based on findings.
How It Works
Track misalignment is one of the most common causes of garage door failures, yet it's often overlooked until damage occurs. This automation system monitors service history and automatically schedules track alignment appointments at optimal intervals. When a customer's garage door is due for alignment inspection, the system sends personalized reminders via email and SMS, books appointments directly into your calendar, and creates service tickets for your technicians. The solution integrates with your existing scheduling software, CRM, and payment systems to create a seamless preventive maintenance program. By proactively addressing track alignment issues, you reduce emergency service calls, extend door lifespan, and build recurring revenue streams. The system tracks service history, identifies high-risk customers based on usage patterns, and prioritizes scheduling based on severity indicators. Automated follow-ups ensure customers don't miss critical maintenance windows, while technician notes and photos are automatically logged for future reference.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a customer's garage door reaches the recommended track alignment interval (typically 90-180 days since last service) or when system diagnostics detect potential misalignment indicators based on service history patterns.
The Action
The system automatically sends multi-channel reminders to customers, provides online booking options with available time slots, creates service tickets with customer history and door specifications, and updates your calendar while notifying assigned technicians of upcoming appointments.
