About This Automation

Requesting reviews and referrals after a completed job depends on someone remembering to pull the job list, check eligibility, write a personal message, and track responses by hand. When this happens inconsistently, eligible customers are missed and referral leads slip through unnoticed.

An automated version reviews completed jobs, filters out ineligible ones, drafts and sends each request, and watches for new reviews. It logs every touchpoint and flags the customer and reward whenever a review or referral needs a personal thank-the team.

Key features:
Identify newly completed and paid jobs eligible for outreach
Filter out jobs with open complaints or unpaid balances automatically
Draft a personalized review and referral request for each customer
Send the request and log it in a shared tracker without manual entry
Monitor review platforms and trigger one follow-up if no response arrives
Notify staff when a review posts or a referral is mentioned so a reward can be sent

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Marked Complete & Paidtrigger

Status change fires the workflow for that customer record.

2. Screen Customer Eligibility

Checks for open complaints, unpaid balance, or a prior request before continuing.

3. Draft Personalized Request

Writes a review and referral message referencing the job type and technician name.

4. Send Request

Message goes out by email and text with a direct link to leave a review.

5. Log Request

Customer, job, and send date are recorded automatically in the tracker.

6. Send Follow-Up Reminder

If no review appears within 5 days, a single reminder goes out automatically.

7. Notify Admin To Send Reward

Once a review posts or the follow-up window closes, admin gets a alert with the customer name so they can send the thank-you gesture.
