How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Service Request Receivedtrigger

A customer submits a service request via web form, email, or phone. The request is captured with address, pest type, and preferred date/time.

2. Extract Request Details

The automation parses the request to standardise the address, pest type, and preferred time window. It flags any missing information.

3. Check Crew Availability

The automation queries to find all crew members free during the requested time window and calculates travel time from their last job to the new location.

4. Rank and Assign Best Crew

The automation ranks available crews by proximity and workload, then assigns the job to the best match. If no crew is available, it suggests the next available time slot.

5. Send Dispatch to Crew

The automation sends a detailed dispatch message SMS to the assigned crew with address, job type, customer contact, and arrival window.

6. Confirm with Customer

An automated email or SMS is sent to the customer confirming the scheduled date, time, and crew member name. Customer can reply to confirm or request a change.

7. Log Job

The job record is created or updated with all details, crew assignment, and status marked as scheduled. Calendar is updated with the final assignment.
