How This Automation Works
Appointment Scheduled → Reminder Sent
Monitor Appointment Schedule
The system continuously monitors your scheduling software for new window consultations, measurements, and installation appointments. When an appointment is created or modified, it captures all relevant details including customer contact information, service type, date, time, and location.
Calculate Reminder Timeline
Based on the appointment date and your configured reminder schedule, the automation calculates exact send times for each reminder (typically 48 hours before, 24 hours before, and morning of). Different appointment types can have customized reminder sequences.
Send Initial Confirmation
Immediately after booking, an initial confirmation is sent via the customer's preferred channel with complete appointment details, what to expect, and preparation instructions. This serves as both confirmation and the first reminder.
Deliver Scheduled Reminders
At each scheduled interval, personalized reminder messages are automatically sent via email, SMS, or both. Each message includes appointment details, installer information, preparation checklist, and easy options to confirm, reschedule, or contact your team.
Track Customer Responses
The system monitors and logs all customer responses including confirmations, reschedule requests, and cancellations. Confirmed appointments are marked in your schedule, while change requests trigger notifications to your scheduling team for immediate follow-up.
Alert Team of Issues
If a customer requests changes, doesn't confirm after multiple reminders, or indicates problems, your team receives immediate notifications with customer details and context. This allows for proactive outreach to resolve issues and maintain your schedule.
How It Works
Managing appointment schedules for window consultations, measurements, and installations requires constant customer communication. This automation sends personalized appointment reminders at optimal times before scheduled visits, ensuring customers are prepared and present. The system pulls appointment details from your scheduling software and sends reminders via email, SMS, or both based on customer preferences. Reminders include appointment time, location, installer details, and preparation instructions. Follow-up confirmations are automatically tracked, and your team receives notifications if customers need to reschedule. This eliminates manual reminder calls, reduces last-minute cancellations, and keeps your installation schedule running efficiently while improving the customer experience throughout their window replacement journey.
The Trigger
When a new window consultation, measurement, or installation appointment is booked in your scheduling system, the automation immediately begins monitoring the timeline and queues reminder messages based on your configured schedule (typically 48 hours before, 24 hours before, and morning of appointment).
The Action
The system automatically sends personalized appointment reminders to the customer via their preferred communication channel (email, SMS, or both). Each reminder includes appointment date, time, installer name, service address, preparation instructions, and easy options to confirm or reschedule. Confirmation responses are logged automatically.
