About This Automation

Enquiry-to-tour follow-up at childcare centres involves capturing parent enquiries from multiple channels, scheduling tours, sending reminders, and logging outcomes.

Automation captures enquiries automatically, extracts parent details, proposes tour dates from the calendar, sends personalised invitations, delivers reminders, and logs outcomes in a central system. The result is faster response times, higher tour attendance, and consistent data quality.

Key features
Extract enquiry details automatically from email, phone, and web forms into a centralised record
Propose available tour dates based on centre calendar and staff availability
Send personalised tour invitations with parent-specific details and multiple date options
Deliver automated reminders to parents 1 day before confirmed tours
Notify centre staff via messaging with tour details and parent information for preparation
Log tour outcomes and follow-up actions in a single system for consistency

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Enquiry Receivedtrigger

Enquiry arrives via email, phone, or web form and is captured by the automation platform.

2. Extract and Validate Enquiry Data

The automation reads the enquiry, extracts parent name, phone, email, child age, and any notes, and validates the data for completeness.

3. Create Lead

Validated enquiry is automatically created as a new lead record with all details and a tour-pending status.

4. Check Tour Availability

Automation queries for available tour slots in the next 7 days and selects the 3 best options based on centre preferences.

5. Send Personalised Tour Invitation

Personalised tour invitation email is sent with the parent's name, child's age, and the 3 available tour slots.

6. Monitor for Parent Response

Automation monitors the parent's reply and updates the lead record with the response (confirmed, declined, or no reply after 3 days).

7. Send Reminder Before Confirmed Tour

If tour is confirmed, a reminder email is automatically sent 1 day before the scheduled tour time.

8. Notify Centre Staff of Tour

Notification is sent to the centre manager with tour details, parent name, and child age so staff can prepare.
