How This Automation Works
Inspection Due Date Approaching → Automated Reminder Sent and Appointment Scheduled
Monitor Customer Inspection Schedules
The system continuously scans your customer database to identify upcoming termite inspection due dates based on the last service date plus 365 days (or custom intervals). It flags accounts approaching their annual inspection window and prepares reminder sequences.
Send First Reminder Notification
At 30 days before the scheduled inspection, the system automatically sends a personalized email and SMS message to the customer. The message includes their last inspection date, upcoming service window, preparation tips, and a direct link to confirm or reschedule their appointment online.
Deliver Follow-Up Reminders
The system sends additional reminders at 14 days and 7 days before the inspection date to customers who haven't confirmed. Each message includes updated availability, technician details, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining annual protection against termite damage.
Process Customer Responses
When customers confirm, reschedule, or cancel through the provided links, the system automatically updates your calendar, assigns or reassigns technicians, sends confirmation notifications, and logs all interactions in the customer record for future reference.
Update Records and Generate Reports
After each interaction, the system updates customer status, tracks response rates, flags non-responders for manual outreach, and generates performance reports showing booking rates, no-show percentages, and revenue forecasts for upcoming inspection periods.
How It Works
Managing annual termite inspection schedules manually creates gaps in service coverage and missed revenue opportunities. This automated system tracks customer inspection dates, sends timely reminders via email and SMS, and enables online booking—all without manual intervention. By maintaining consistent communication with customers about their upcoming inspections, pest control businesses can reduce cancellations by up to 65%, improve customer retention, and ensure properties remain protected. The system automatically updates customer records, schedules technician assignments, and sends follow-up communications, creating a seamless experience that keeps your inspection calendar full and your customers protected year-round.
The Trigger
The system monitors customer records and automatically triggers when a termite inspection due date is 30, 14, and 7 days away, ensuring multiple touchpoints before the scheduled service.
The Action
The system sends personalized email and SMS reminders with inspection details, includes a direct booking link for rescheduling, updates the customer database, and notifies the scheduling team of confirmed appointments.
