Send customers appointment options via SMS with one-click confirmation links
Block technician calendars and create job records instantly upon customer confirmation
Notify technicians and customers with complete appointment details and special instructions
Log all scheduled appointments to the job management system for reporting and tracking

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Treatment Marked Completetrigger

A treatment record is marked as complete or the job management system, triggering the automation workflow.

2. Calculate Re-Treatment Due Date

The automation reads the treatment type and service interval from the customer record and automatically calculates the next due date.

3. Find Available Technician Slot

The automation queries to find the next available 2-hour window for the assigned technician that falls within the due date window.

4. Send Customer Appointment Proposal

An SMS or email is sent to the customer or proposing the available slot with a one-click confirmation link.

5. Block Technician Calendar

Once the customer confirms (or after 24 hours if no response), the appointment is automatically added to the technician's.

6. Create Re-Treatment Job Record

A new job record is created with all treatment details, customer notes, and technician assignment.

7. Notify Technician and Customer

Confirmation messages are sent to both the technician and customer via SMS and email with appointment details and any special instructions.
