How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Booking Request Receivedtrigger

A customer submits an appointment request via email, web form, or SMS. The automation platform detects the incoming message and extracts the customer name, preferred date, time, and service type.

2. Check Real-Time Availability

The automation queries to identify available technician slots on the requested date. It returns a list of open time windows and assigns the best match based on location and service type.

3. Confirm Appointment Details

The automation sends an instant SMS or email confirmation to the customer with the assigned technician, date, time, and service address. The message includes a link to reschedule or cancel if needed.

4. Create Calendar Event

The automation creates a calendar event for the assigned technician, populated with customer name, address, phone, and service notes. The event is immediately visible to the technician.

5. Log Booking

The automation records the appointment as a deal or task, linking it to the customer record. This creates a single source of truth for all booking and service history data.

6. Send Technician Notification

The automation sends the assigned technician an SMS or email alert with the appointment details, customer contact info, and any special instructions or notes.
