About This Automation

Job scheduling and dispatch is the process of receiving customer requests, checking crew availability, and assigning work to field teams. Manual scheduling creates delays, incomplete information, and frequent rescheduling calls that consume dispatcher time.

Automation extracts job details from incoming requests, matches crews based on skills and location, and sends dispatch instructions automatically. The result is faster assignments, fewer missed jobs, and crews that receive complete information on first contact.

Key features
Parse incoming job requests from email, forms, and phone transcripts to extract customer and job details automatically
Query crew availability across multiple calendars and identify the best match based on skills and location
Calculate travel time and confirm no scheduling conflicts before assigning a job
Send complete dispatch instructions to crew leads with customer contact and job details
Log all job assignments to your CRM in real time without manual data entry
Handle rescheduling requests by re-evaluating crew availability and reassigning in minutes

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Request Receivedtrigger

A new job request arrives via email, form submission, or phone. The automation platform captures the request and extracts key details.

2. Extract and Validate Job Details

The automation reads the request and pulls out customer name, phone, job type, location, and preferred date. It flags any missing information.

3. Query Crew Availability

The automation checks for all crew schedules and identifies available crews on the requested date.

4. Match Crew to Job

The automation compares crew skills, certifications, and current location against job requirements and selects the best fit based on proximity and availability.

5. Create Calendar Event

A new event is automatically added to the assigned crew's with the full job details, customer contact, and any special notes.

6. Send Dispatch via SMS

Dispatch instructions including address, customer name, phone, and job scope are sent to the crew lead SMS.

7. Log Job

The job is automatically recorded with customer details, assigned crew, scheduled date, and status.

8. Notify Dispatcher of Confirmation

Once the crew confirms receipt via SMS reply, a notification is sent to the dispatcher confirming the job is dispatched and accepted.
