About This Automation

Key features:
Extract tour request details automatically from emails, phone calls, and web forms
Query venue availability in real time and compile matching time slots
Send instant availability options to prospects without manual formatting
Block confirmed tours on the calendar and create CRM records automatically
Send confirmation and day-before reminder emails without manual intervention
Reduce no-show rates through automated reminder sequences

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Tour Request Receivedtrigger

A prospect submits a tour request via email, phone, or web form. The automation platform captures the request and extracts prospect name, preferred dates, and party size.

2. Extract Request Details

The automation parses the incoming message to identify the prospect name, preferred dates, party size, and any special requirements. the automation outputs structured data for the next steps.

3. Check Real-Time Availability

The automation queries to find available time slots across all venue spaces that match the prospect's preferred dates and party size. It returns a list of 3 to 5 open slots.

4. Send Availability via Email

The automation sends a templated email to the prospect with the available time slots, formatted with venue details and a direct booking link or reply instruction.

5. Monitor for Confirmation Reply

The automation waits for the prospect's reply email. When a reply arrives, the automation extracts the confirmed date and time from the message.

6. Block Calendar and Create Event

The automation creates a event for the confirmed tour, blocking the venue space and assigning the sales rep who will conduct the tour.

7. Create Deal Record

The automation creates a new deal or activity record with the prospect name, tour date, time, location, and party size. All data is populated automatically from the extracted details.

8. Send Confirmation and Schedule Reminder

The automation sends a confirmation email to the prospect with tour details and automatically schedules a reminder email to be sent 24 hours before the tour.
