How This Automation Works
Appointment scheduled 24 hours from now → Personalized reminder sent to homeowner
Monitor Scheduling System
The automation continuously checks your calendar or CRM system every 30 minutes to identify upcoming solar appointments. It scans for consultations, site surveys, and installations scheduled to occur in the next 24 hours.
Identify Upcoming Appointments
When an appointment is detected at exactly 24 hours away, the system retrieves all relevant details including customer contact information, property address, appointment type, assigned installer, and any special notes or requirements.
Generate Personalized Message
The automation selects the appropriate message template based on appointment type and populates it with customer-specific information, installer details, and customized preparation instructions. The message is formatted for the preferred communication channel (SMS, email, or both).
Send Reminder Notification
The personalized reminder is automatically sent to the homeowner via their preferred contact method. The message includes appointment details, a preparation checklist, installer information, and interactive buttons for easy confirmation, rescheduling, or cancellation.
Log and Track Response
The system records the reminder delivery timestamp in your CRM and tracks customer responses. Confirmations, reschedule requests, or cancellations are automatically logged and trigger appropriate follow-up actions or notifications to your team.
How It Works
This automation streamlines solar appointment management by automatically detecting upcoming consultations and sending personalized reminder messages to homeowners exactly 24 hours in advance. The system monitors your calendar, identifies appointments scheduled for the next day, and triggers SMS or email reminders with appointment details, installer information, and preparation instructions. By eliminating manual reminder tasks, solar companies reduce no-show rates by up to 40%, optimize installer routes, and improve customer satisfaction. The automation includes customizable message templates, timezone handling for multi-region operations, and integration with popular CRM and scheduling systems used by solar installation companies.
The Trigger
The system continuously monitors your scheduling database and identifies any solar consultation or installation appointment that is exactly 24 hours away from the current time. This trigger checks multiple times per hour to ensure precise timing and accounts for timezone differences across service areas.
The Action
Once an upcoming appointment is detected, the system automatically sends a customized reminder message via the homeowner's preferred channel (SMS, email, or both). The message includes appointment date and time, installer name and photo, property address, preparation checklist, and easy reschedule/cancel options with a single click.
