How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Marked Completetrigger

The automation watches for new completed repair jobs in the work order system. It captures the job ID, customer contact info, repair type, and any technician notes.

2. Fetch Job & Customer Data

The automation retrieves full job details and customer profile from the work order system and CRM, including repair cost, duration, and any previous review or referral history.

3. Assess Satisfaction & Route

The automation analyzes technician notes, repair complexity, and customer history to predict satisfaction level and determine whether to send a review request, referral request, or both. It flags any jobs requiring manual review.

4. Send Review Request

For high-confidence satisfaction predictions, the automation sends a personalized review request email with a direct Google review link and a brief thank-you message.

5. Send Referral Request

For customers identified as strong referral candidates, the automation sends a separate SMS or email requesting referrals, including the referral incentive details.

6. Log Request

The automation creates a contact record or activity log with the request type, timestamp, and contact method, creating a searchable audit trail.

7. Schedule Follow-up Reminder

The automation schedules an automatic follow-up message to be sent 7 days later if no response is received, and notifies the team of any high-value referral leads.
