How This Automation Works
24 Hours Before Scheduled Appointment → Customer Receives Personalized Reminder
Monitor Appointment Calendar
The system continuously syncs with your HVAC scheduling software, monitoring all upcoming service appointments and identifying those occurring in exactly 24 hours.
Retrieve Appointment Details
When a qualifying appointment is identified, the system automatically extracts all relevant information including customer name, contact details, appointment time, service address, service type, and assigned technician information.
Generate Personalized Reminder
The system creates a customized reminder message using your branded template, incorporating all appointment-specific details and formatting the message for the customer's preferred communication channel (SMS, email, or both).
Send Multi-Channel Notification
The reminder is automatically delivered to the customer via their preferred channel with confirmation and rescheduling options embedded directly in the message for easy customer response.
Process Customer Response
The system monitors for customer confirmations, reschedule requests, or cancellations, automatically updating your scheduling system with the customer's response and flagging any appointments requiring attention.
Update Scheduling System
All customer interactions and confirmations are logged back into your scheduling software in real-time, keeping your team informed about appointment status and allowing proactive schedule management.
How It Works
No-shows and last-minute cancellations cost HVAC businesses thousands in lost revenue and wasted technician time. This automation sends professional appointment reminders exactly 24 hours before each scheduled service visit, giving customers sufficient notice while ensuring your schedule stays full. The system automatically pulls appointment details from your scheduling system, personalizes the message with customer name, service type, and technician information, then delivers reminders through the customer's preferred communication channel. Customers receive all essential details including appointment time, service address, technician name, and a simple confirmation or reschedule option. The automation tracks delivery status and customer responses, automatically updating your scheduling system when customers confirm or request changes. This eliminates the manual task of calling or texting each customer, reduces administrative workload by hours each day, and significantly improves show rates. Your team gains real-time visibility into appointment confirmations, allowing proactive schedule management and better resource allocation. The result is fewer empty time slots, reduced fuel costs from wasted trips, improved customer satisfaction through reliable communication, and increased revenue from better schedule utilization.
The Trigger
The automation activates automatically when an HVAC service appointment is scheduled to occur in exactly 24 hours. The system continuously monitors your appointment calendar and identifies upcoming appointments that require reminder notifications, ensuring timely customer communication without manual intervention.
The Action
The system automatically generates and sends a customized appointment reminder containing all relevant service details—appointment time, service address, technician name, service type, and contact information. The reminder is delivered via the customer's preferred channel (SMS, email, or both) and includes easy options to confirm attendance or request rescheduling.
