How This Automation Works
Battery Life Threshold Reached → Customer Battery Replacement Alert Sent
Track Electronic Lock Installation Data
The system captures and stores electronic lock installation dates, models, locations, and customer contact information in your customer database. Battery life expectations are automatically assigned based on manufacturer specifications for each lock model.
Calculate Battery Life Threshold
The system continuously monitors time elapsed since installation and calculates when each lock reaches 80% of expected battery life. Custom thresholds can be adjusted based on lock type, usage patterns, or seasonal factors affecting battery performance.
Generate Personalized Alert Content
When the threshold is reached, the system automatically generates personalized notification content including customer name, specific lock location, lock model, estimated days until battery failure, and scheduling information tailored to the customer segment.
Send Multi-Channel Notifications
Alerts are automatically sent through the customer's preferred communication channel (SMS, email, or app notification). Messages include direct booking links, service pricing, and educational content about preventing lockouts through timely battery replacement.
Track Response and Follow-Up
The system monitors customer responses, appointment bookings, and service completion. Automatic follow-up reminders are sent to non-responders after 7-10 days. Completed services update the database to reset the battery life tracking cycle.
How It Works
Electronic lock battery failures are a leading cause of emergency locksmith calls and customer frustration. This automated battery monitoring system tracks installation dates, estimated battery life cycles, and usage patterns to send proactive replacement reminders to customers. By alerting clients 2-4 weeks before batteries typically fail, locksmiths can schedule convenient maintenance visits, reduce emergency call volumes, and create a predictable revenue stream from preventive services. The system integrates with customer databases to personalize alerts based on lock type, usage frequency, and environmental factors that affect battery longevity. This proactive approach transforms reactive emergency service into planned maintenance, improving customer relationships while reducing after-hours emergency calls.
The Trigger
The system monitors electronic lock installation dates and automatically triggers when a lock reaches 80% of its expected battery life cycle (typically 8-10 months for standard electronic locks). Custom triggers can also be set based on lock model specifications, usage patterns, or seasonal factors.
The Action
Automatically sends personalized notifications to customers via SMS, email, or app notification, including their specific lock model, estimated days until battery failure, and easy scheduling options for battery replacement service. The message includes direct booking links and educational content about the importance of timely battery maintenance.
