How This Automation Works
New Lead Submission → Lead Captured and Routed
Lead Submission Detected
The system monitors all configured channels—website contact forms, social media messages, phone call transcriptions, and SMS texts—and immediately triggers when a new tree service inquiry is detected, capturing timestamp, source, and raw customer data.
Data Validation and Enrichment
Contact information is automatically verified for accuracy, phone numbers are formatted correctly, the service address is validated against your coverage area using geolocation, and any available property data or previous customer history is retrieved and attached to the lead record.
Lead Qualification and Categorization
The system analyzes the inquiry content to identify service type (removal, trimming, stump grinding, emergency), urgency level, approximate job size, and special requirements, then assigns a priority score and qualification status based on your predefined criteria.
Intelligent Lead Routing
Based on service type, location, crew availability, and expertise requirements, the lead is automatically assigned to the most appropriate estimator or crew leader, with emergency requests routed to on-call personnel and specialty jobs directed to certified arborists.
CRM Record Creation
A complete lead profile is created in your CRM system with all captured information, source tracking, priority tags, service requirements, photos or attachments, and preliminary notes about access, equipment needs, or potential challenges identified from the initial inquiry.
Customer Acknowledgment
An immediate, personalized response is sent to the customer via their preferred contact method, confirming receipt of their request, providing expected response timeframe, sharing relevant company information, and setting clear expectations for the next steps in the process.
Team Notification and Assignment
The assigned estimator receives instant notification via SMS and email with complete lead details, embedded map to property location, customer contact preferences, and suggested response templates, ensuring they can follow up within minutes rather than hours.
Follow-Up Tracking Initiated
The system begins monitoring response times and automatically schedules follow-up reminders, tracks when estimates are sent, logs customer communications, and triggers escalation alerts if the lead hasn't been contacted within your target timeframe, preventing any opportunity from being forgotten.
How It Works
Transform how your tree service business handles incoming leads with intelligent automation that captures inquiries from websites, phone calls, and social media the moment they arrive. This system instantly validates contact information, qualifies leads based on service type and urgency, assigns them to the right estimator, and triggers immediate follow-up notifications. By eliminating manual lead entry and ensuring instant response times, you'll capture more emergency tree removal jobs, scheduled maintenance contracts, and seasonal work while your competitors are still checking their voicemail. The automation integrates with your CRM, scheduling tools, and communication channels to create a seamless pipeline from first contact to booked appointment, ensuring no high-value lead slips through the cracks during storm season or peak demand periods.
The Trigger
Activates automatically when a potential customer submits an inquiry through your website contact form, Facebook page, phone system, or text message requesting tree services such as removal, trimming, stump grinding, or emergency storm damage assistance.
The Action
The system instantly validates and enriches the lead data, categorizes the service request by type and urgency, creates a detailed record in your CRM with property information and photos if provided, assigns the lead to the appropriate estimator based on location and availability, sends an automated acknowledgment to the customer with expected response time, and notifies your team via SMS and email with all relevant details for immediate follow-up.
