About This Automation

Requesting reviews and referrals after a job finishes involves confirming completion, drafting a personal message, sending follow-ups, and checking review sites by hand. This chain of manual steps delays outreach for days and often gets skipped when staff are busy.

An automated version detects job completion, sends a personalized review request right away, follows up by text if needed, and tracks outcomes automatically. Satisfied clients are then prompted for referrals without anyone having to remember the sequence.

Key features
Detects when a job is marked complete and starts the follow-up sequence automatically
Pulls client name, contact details, and job type into a personalized review request
Sends a text reminder if a client has not left a review after a set number of days
Checks review platforms for new client reviews without manual browsing
Logs review outcomes and dates into a shared tracking sheet automatically
Sends a referral request and thank-you note to clients who leave a positive review

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Marked Completetrigger

Fires an update the moment a job status changes to Complete, kicking off the review and referral sequence automatically.

2. Sync Client Details

The Job Completion Sync pulls the client's name, email, phone number, and job type and writes a new row to the tracking sheet.

3. Draft Personalized Message

The Review Request generates a review request tailored to the job type and client name, ready to send within minutes of completion.

4. Send Review Request

The email goes out from the business account with a direct link to the Google or Facebook review page.

5. Send Follow-up SMS

If no review is logged within 48 hours, a short SMS reminder goes out.

6. Send Referral Request

Once a review is confirmed posted, a referral ask goes out automatically to the same client, offering a small incentive.

7. Escalate to Marketing Coordinator

If no review appears after 7 days, the workflow flags the client for a personal follow-up instead of another automated nudge.

8. Log Final Outcome

Whether the review came through automation or a manual escalation, the final status and date get recorded in the shared tracking sheet.
