About This Automation

Client requests and issues arrive through multiple channels: email, phone, SMS, and messaging apps. The facility manager manually searches for duplicates, creates tickets, assigns staff, and tracks progress through spreadsheets and messages, consuming per week on administrative work.

Automation captures all inbound requests, checks for duplicates instantly, assigns work based on priority and availability, and notifies staff with complete details. The manager oversees exceptions only, freeing time for strategic facility planning.

Detect duplicate requests automatically and update existing tickets instead of creating new ones
Assign work to staff based on priority, skill match, and real-time availability
Send assignment notifications with full ticket details to the assigned team member
Track task progress and send automated reminders to staff

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client Request Receivedtrigger

Email, SMS, or phone call from client is captured and parsed for key details such as client name, location, issue type, and urgency.

2. Check for Duplicate

Automation queries to see if the same client or location has an open ticket for the same issue type. If a duplicate is found, the existing ticket is updated instead of creating a new one.

3. Create or Update Ticket

A new ticket is created with all extracted details, or an existing ticket is updated. The ticket is automatically tagged with priority, location, and issue type.

4. Assign to Staff Member

Automation applies routing rules based on location, skill, and current workload to assign the ticket to the best available staff member.

5. Send Assignment

The assigned staff member receives an instant notification with the ticket details, location, and priority. The message includes a link to the ticket.

6. Log Request

A summary of the request is automatically logged for reporting and audit purposes.

7. Send Status Update to Client

Client receives an automatic SMS or email confirming their request has been received and providing an estimated completion time.
