About This Automation

Contractor and vendor coordination involves receiving requests, checking availability, resolving scheduling conflicts, and confirming job details across multiple properties. Manual coordination creates delays, scheduling conflicts, and significant administrative overhead for the operations team.

Automation captures incoming requests, matches contractors to jobs based on availability and location, and sends confirmations automatically. The result is faster turnaround, fewer conflicts, and the ability to handle many more requests with the same team.

Key features
Capture contractor requests from email and web forms automatically
Match contractors to jobs based on type, location, and availability
Check contractor calendars and identify available time slots in real time
Propose alternative contractors when the preferred option is unavailable
Send confirmation emails with job details and special instructions
Update internal tracking and notify site managers automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Contractor Request Receivedtrigger

A new email arrives in the operations inbox with a contractor or vendor request. The automation detects the email and extracts job details.

2. Parse Request & Extract Details

The automation reads the email, identifies the job type, location, required date, and any contractor preference. It structures this data for the next steps.

3. Match Contractor & Check Availability

The automation queries the vendor database, finds matching contractors by job type and location, and checks their calendar availability.

4. Create Calendar Event

A confirmed time slot is automatically added for the contractor and the job site, preventing double-bookings.

5. Send Contractor Confirmation

An automated email is sent to the contractor with job details, address, date, time, and any special instructions.

6. Notify Internal Team

A message is posted to the relevant channel with the confirmed job details and contractor information for site managers and facilities staff.

7. Log Job

The job record is created with all details, contractor assignment, and scheduled date, creating a single source of truth for tracking.

8. Send Confirmation to Requestor

A final confirmation email is sent to the original requestor confirming the job is scheduled and providing contractor details.
