How This Automation Works
Pest Control Job Status Updated to Complete → Invoice Generated and Sent to Customer
Job Completion Detected
The automation continuously monitors your field service management system. When a technician marks a pest control job as complete via mobile app or when office staff updates the status, the trigger immediately captures the job completion event along with all associated data including customer information, services performed, time spent, materials used, and any job notes or photos.
Service Data Retrieved and Validated
The system automatically pulls all relevant job details from your service management platform, including the specific treatments performed, square footage treated, products and quantities used, time on site, and any additional services beyond the original work order. It validates that all required billing information is present and cross-references customer pricing agreements and service contracts.
Invoice Amount Calculated
Using your predefined pricing rules, the automation calculates the total invoice amount. This includes base service charges, product costs, any distance or trip fees, additional treatment charges, applicable taxes, and automatic application of customer-specific discounts or contract pricing. The calculation accounts for service package inclusions and separately billable items.
Professional Invoice Generated
The system creates a detailed, professional invoice in your billing platform with complete service documentation. The invoice includes your company branding, itemized charges with descriptions, before/after photos if applicable, technician notes, warranty information, and clear payment terms. It's formatted as a PDF and prepared for electronic delivery.
Invoice Delivered to Customer
The completed invoice is automatically sent to the customer via their preferred communication method (email, SMS, or customer portal). The message includes a direct link to view the invoice online and convenient payment options. For customers with portal access, the invoice is also posted to their account history.
Records Updated and Tracking Initiated
The automation updates all relevant systems with the invoice details, logs the transaction in your accounting software, updates the customer's account balance, and records the billing date. It also initiates payment tracking and can schedule automated follow-up reminders if payment isn't received within your standard terms.
How It Works
Transform your pest control billing process by automatically triggering invoice generation and delivery when technicians complete their jobs. This automation connects your field service management system with your billing platform to instantly create accurate invoices based on services performed, products used, and pricing agreements. The moment a technician marks a job complete in the field, the system automatically generates a professional invoice with all service details, calculates totals including any add-ons or extra treatments, applies customer-specific pricing or discounts, and sends it directly to the customer via their preferred method. This eliminates the common bottleneck of waiting for office staff to manually process completed jobs, reduces billing errors from manual data entry, and significantly accelerates payment collection. Your team saves hours of administrative work previously spent on invoice creation, while customers appreciate receiving their bills promptly with complete service documentation. The automation also maintains a complete audit trail of all billing activities and can trigger follow-up reminders for outstanding payments.
The Trigger
Monitors your field service management system for job status changes. When a technician marks a service visit as complete in the mobile app or when the office updates job status to finished, the automation immediately captures all relevant job details including services performed, time spent, materials used, customer information, and any job notes or photos.
The Action
Automatically creates a detailed invoice in your billing system with all service information, calculates totals based on pricing rules and any applied discounts, generates a professional PDF invoice, and sends it to the customer via email or SMS. The system can also update customer records, log the transaction, and schedule payment reminders if needed.
