How This Automation Works
Customer Requests Financing or Application Status Changes → Personalized Follow-up Messages Sent Automatically
Capture Financing Inquiry
When a customer requests financing information through your website, estimate, or during a consultation, the system automatically captures their contact details, project information, and financing needs in your customer database.
Send Initial Financing Information
Within minutes, the system sends a comprehensive email with available financing options, typical approval criteria, required documents, and clear next steps. This message includes links to application portals and establishes expectations for the timeline.
Monitor Application Status
The system continuously monitors the financing application status through integration with your financing partner's platform or through manual status updates from your team, tracking whether applications are started, pending, approved, or declined.
Trigger Status-Based Follow-ups
Based on application status and time elapsed, the system automatically sends appropriate messages: reminders for incomplete applications with specific missing items, congratulations for approvals with scheduling next steps, or alternative options for declined applications.
Escalate Stalled Applications
When applications remain incomplete for 72 hours or show no progress for one week, the system alerts your sales team and sends a personalized message offering a phone consultation to address questions or concerns that may be preventing completion.
Convert Approval to Scheduled Installation
Upon financing approval, the system immediately sends congratulations, confirms the approved amount and terms, and provides direct scheduling links or contact information to book the installation, creating urgency to move forward while enthusiasm is high.
How It Works
High-ticket HVAC installations often require financing, but customers who request financing options frequently stall in the application process or need additional guidance. This automation monitors financing inquiries and application statuses, then triggers personalized follow-up communications at optimal intervals. When a customer requests financing information, hasn't completed their application, or receives approval, the system automatically sends appropriate messages with next steps, answers common questions, and provides support to move the sale forward. The automation tracks customer engagement, flags applications needing attention, and ensures no financing opportunity falls through the cracks. By maintaining consistent communication throughout the financing journey, HVAC contractors can significantly improve conversion rates on high-value installations, reduce the sales cycle, and provide a professional customer experience that builds trust during a critical decision-making period.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a customer submits a financing inquiry through your website, phone system, or proposal software, or when a financing application status updates (submitted, pending documents, approved, or declined). It also triggers based on time intervals when applications remain incomplete.
The Action
The system sends targeted email or SMS messages based on the financing stage: initial information packets for new inquiries, gentle reminders for incomplete applications, congratulations and next steps for approvals, or alternative options for declined applications. Messages include relevant deadlines, required documents, and direct contact information.
