How This Automation Works
Scheduled Date Reached → Client Receives Maintenance Reminder
Monitor Service Schedule Database
The system continuously scans the client database to identify all access control systems and their last service dates. It calculates the next recommended maintenance date based on system type, service agreement terms, and industry best practices. When the current date falls within the notification window (typically 14-30 days before the scheduled service date), the record is flagged for reminder generation.
Generate Personalized Reminder Content
The automation retrieves specific client and system information including business name, contact preferences, access control system model, last service details, and service history. It then generates a customized reminder message incorporating this data, highlighting the specific maintenance tasks recommended for their system type, and including relevant service benefits and scheduling options tailored to their business hours and location.
Deliver Multi-Channel Notification
The system sends the reminder through the client's preferred communication channel—email for detailed information with attachments, or SMS for immediate awareness with booking links. The message includes direct scheduling functionality, allowing clients to book appointments with a single click. Delivery status is tracked and logged for follow-up purposes.
Create Follow-Up Task and Update Records
A service task is automatically generated in the management system, assigned to the appropriate technician or service coordinator for follow-up. The client record is updated with the reminder sent date, delivery status, and any automated responses. If no response is received within 7 days, a secondary follow-up reminder is queued, ensuring no maintenance opportunity is missed.
How It Works
This automation streamlines access control maintenance management by automatically tracking service intervals and sending personalized reminder notifications to clients when their systems require inspection. The system monitors maintenance schedules, identifies upcoming service needs, and delivers timely communications via email or SMS. By proactively managing access control check reminders, locksmith businesses reduce emergency service calls, maintain client security systems at peak performance, and build recurring revenue streams. The automation handles client segmentation, customizes reminder frequency based on system type, and tracks response rates to optimize follow-up strategies. Perfect for commercial locksmith operations managing multiple client locations with varying access control technologies including card readers, biometric systems, electronic locks, and integrated security platforms.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a predetermined maintenance interval is reached based on the last service date, typically 90 days, 6 months, or 12 months depending on the access control system type and client service agreement. The system continuously monitors all client records and activates when any scheduled check date approaches within the defined notification window.
The Action
The system automatically generates and sends a personalized reminder message to the client via their preferred communication channel (email or SMS). The message includes specific details about their access control system, the recommended service scope, scheduling options, and direct booking links. A task is simultaneously created in the service management system for follow-up tracking, and the client record is updated with the reminder delivery timestamp.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Manual Scheduling Work
Remove the administrative burden of manually tracking service intervals and contacting clients. The system automatically monitors hundreds of client accounts, calculates optimal service timing, and sends reminders without staff intervention, freeing your team to focus on billable service work instead of scheduling coordination.
