Tour Scheduling & Family Assessment

Q: How does the system handle families who don't complete the assessment form?

Automated reminders are sent to families who have not submitted the form by a set deadline. The system tracks completion status so staff know exactly who still needs to respond.

Q: Will the tour guide have all family information before the tour?

Yes. The system compiles the family's assessment data and any special notes into a single document that is ready for the tour guide to review on the day of the visit.

Q: Can the system work with our existing email and calendar tools?

The automation integrates with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Forms, and Google Sheets. It also works with other mainstream email and calendar platforms like Microsoft Outlook.

Q: What if a family needs to reschedule their tour?

The system can handle reschedule requests by checking updated availability and updating the calendar and family record automatically, reducing manual coordination.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Tour Request Submittedtrigger

A prospective family submits a tour inquiry via email, phone, or web form. The automation captures the inquiry and extracts the family name, contact details, and preferred tour dates.

2. Check Available Tour Slots

The automation queries the centre calendar and identifies all available tour time slots for the requested dates. It ranks slots by preference and prepares a list of options.

3. Send Tour Options and Assessment Form

The automation sends a single email to the family with available tour times and an embedded link to a pre-filled family assessment form. The form captures child details, allergies, dietary needs, and special requirements.

4. Receive Family Confirmation

The family replies with their chosen tour time and submits the assessment form. The automation captures both the confirmed time and the completed form data.

5. Block Calendar and Create Tour Record

The automation blocks the confirmed time on the centre calendar and creates a tour record in a shared spreadsheet with the family name, contact details, tour date, and pre-populated assessment data.

6. Send Final Confirmation

The automation sends a final confirmation email to the family with the tour date, time, centre address, parking details, and a summary of their submitted information.

7. Notify Tour Guide

The automation sends a message to the assigned tour guide with the family name, tour time, and key details from the assessment form so they are prepared for the visit.
