About This Automation

Vehicle status updates require someone to scan a shop tracking sheet for changes, write a message, look up contact details, and send matching notifications across multiple channels.

An automated version watches for repair stage changes and prepares the customer message and contact details right away.

Key features
Detects repair stage changes automatically from the shop tracking sheet
Drafts a customer-ready status message based on the current stage
Sends matching email and text updates to the customer without manual entry
Notifies the front desk team the moment a vehicle's stage changes
Updates invoice status automatically once a vehicle reaches ready-for-pickup
Keeps a consistent record of every status update sent

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Stage Updated In Trackertrigger

A technician marks a new repair stage tracker, which starts the workflow instantly.

2. Status Change Monitor Runs

The automation reads the updated row, pulls the vehicle and customer details, and queues the correct message.

3. Send Email

A status update email is sent automatically to the customer's address on file.

4. Send Text

A matching SMS update is sent in case the customer misses the email.

5. Update Invoice

If the stage is ready for pickup, the invoice status is updated automatically.

6. Advisor Follows Up On Failed Delivery

If a message fails to deliver, a service advisor is notified to call the customer directly.

7. Notify Team

The shop team channel is posted with the vehicle's new stage so the front desk stays in sync.
