About This Automation

Inspection scheduling at buyers agencies involves manually collecting requests from multiple channels, checking property and inspector availability, and coordinating confirmations across email and calendar systems.

Automation extracts request details from any channel, matches availability in real time, and sends instant confirmations to all parties. The result is faster scheduling, fewer conflicts, and reduced no-show rates.

Key features
Extract inspection requests from email, forms, phone notes, and text messages automatically
Validate lead information and flag incomplete submissions for manual review
Match property availability against inspector schedules in real time
Identify and escalate scheduling conflicts to agents for negotiation
Send instant confirmation emails to leads and inspectors with all details
Update calendars and logs automatically when inspections are confirmed

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Request Receivedtrigger

Lead submits request via email, web form, or messaging. The automation platform captures the submission and extracts lead name, property address, preferred dates, and contact details.

2. Parse & Validate Request

The automation reviews the request, standardises the property address, and extracts structured data (dates, contact info, property ID). Invalid or incomplete requests are flagged for manual review.

3. Check Property Availability

The automation queries the property database or listing system to confirm the property is available and retrieves its details and inspection history.

4. Match Inspector Availability

The automation checks all inspector calendars and identifies available time slots that match the lead's preferred dates and times.

5. Slot Found?

If a matching slot exists, the automation proceeds to booking. If not, the request is escalated to the automation for manual negotiation.

6. Book Inspection & Update Calendar

The automation reserves the time slot, assigns the inspector, and logs the appointment in the master spreadsheet with all details.

7. Send Confirmations

Automated emails are sent to the lead and inspector with appointment details, property address, and contact information. A notification alerts the team.
