How This Automation Works
Service Job Marked Complete → Personalized Referral Request Sent
Monitor Job Completion Status
The system continuously monitors your scheduling or service management platform for jobs marked as complete, capturing completion timestamps, service types, technician assignments, and initial customer feedback indicators.
Evaluate Customer Satisfaction Criteria
Automatically checks predefined satisfaction thresholds including payment status (fully paid), complaint logs (none filed), service duration (within expected range), and any available rating data to confirm customer eligibility for referral requests.
Retrieve Customer Communication Preferences
Pulls customer contact information and communication preferences from your database, identifying preferred channels (email, SMS, both) and any opt-out flags to ensure compliant, personalized delivery.
Generate Personalized Referral Message
Creates customized referral request content including customer name, specific service completed, technician name if appropriate, referral incentive details, and branded sharing links with unique tracking codes for attribution.
Schedule and Send Referral Request
Delivers the referral request via selected channels at the optimal time (typically 24-48 hours post-completion during business hours) to maximize visibility and response rates while customer satisfaction remains peak.
Track Referral Responses and Conversions
Monitors clicks on referral links, form submissions from referred prospects, and completed bookings attributed to each referral source, updating customer records with referral performance data and triggering incentive fulfillment when conversions occur.
How It Works
Transform your satisfied plumbing customers into a powerful referral engine with automated referral request messaging. This system identifies completed service jobs, evaluates customer satisfaction indicators, and automatically sends personalized referral requests at the optimal moment when customer satisfaction is highest. By eliminating manual follow-up and timing guesswork, you can systematically capture word-of-mouth opportunities that would otherwise be lost. The system tracks referral responses, manages incentive distribution, and measures referral conversion rates to optimize your customer acquisition strategy. Perfect for residential plumbing services, commercial contractors, and emergency repair businesses looking to reduce customer acquisition costs while building a sustainable growth channel through existing customer relationships.
The Trigger
When a plumbing service job is marked as complete in your scheduling system and customer satisfaction indicators meet predefined thresholds (positive feedback, no complaints, payment received), the automation initiates the referral request sequence.
The Action
A personalized referral request message is automatically sent to the customer via their preferred communication channel (email, SMS, or both), including referral incentive details, easy sharing options, and tracking links to measure referral effectiveness.
