About This Automation

Booking and fleet availability checks require an agent to search a shared spreadsheet, confirm vehicle class and pricing, verify customer eligibility, and manually block the vehicle.

The automated version checks real-time availability, matches the customer to an eligible vehicle class, processes the deposit, and sends confirmation without manual lookup. The result is faster booking turnaround and far fewer double-booking conflicts.

Key features
Match customer requests to available vehicle classes in real time
Calculate rental rates automatically based on dates and vehicle class
Charge deposits and confirm bookings once payment clears
Block reserved vehicles on the shared calendar without manual entry
Flag double-booking conflicts for staff review before they reach customers
Send automated pickup reminders ahead of collection

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Booking Request Receivedtrigger

Customer submits a booking request through the website form or email, which starts the workflow instantly.

2. Check Fleet Availability

The Availability & Booking scans the fleet calendar to find a matching vehicle for the requested dates.

3. Charge Deposit

Once a vehicle is confirmed available, the system charges the required deposit automatically.

4. Alert Staff To Booking Conflict

If no vehicle matches the request, an alert email is sent to the branch manager to manually resolve or offer an alternative.

5. Send Confirmation

A confirmation email with pickup details and rental terms is sent automatically once the deposit clears.

6. Log Reservation

The confirmed booking is created or updated with customer and vehicle details for reporting.

7. Send Pickup Reminder

An automated SMS reminder is sent 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time.
