About This Automation

Inspection scheduling for solar installations requires coordinating customer availability, inspector calendars, equipment readiness, and site logistics across multiple communication channels.

Key features:
Rank inspectors by availability, certification, and proximity to the job site
Send customers multiple time slot options via calendar invite and track responses automatically
Sync confirmed bookings across calendar, CRM, and team messaging in real time
Escalate unconfirmed requests to a human scheduler after 24 hours
Reroute rescheduling requests without repeating manual availability checks

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Request Receivedtrigger

Customer submits request via website form or email. Webhook captures request data including customer contact, preferred dates, and site address.

2. Fetch Team Availability

Automation queries API for all inspectors and pulls open slots across the customer's preferred date range in real time.

3. Check Equipment Status

Automation reads equipment inventory and confirms required tools and test equipment are available for each candidate date.

4. Match Inspector to Inspection

The automation evaluates inspector skill match, travel distance to site, and availability, then ranks and selects the best-fit inspector for the job.

5. Request Customer Confirmation

Automation sends customer a calendar invite and confirmation link with 2-3 available time slots. Customer clicks to confirm directly.

6. Customer Confirmed?

Automation waits for customer response. If confirmed within 24 hours, proceed. If no response after 24 hours, send reminder.

7. Create Calendar Events and Notify Team

Automation creates events for inspector and logistics team, sends notifications with site details and equipment requirements, and logs booking.

8. Send Final Confirmation to Customer

Automation sends customer final confirmation email with inspector name, inspection date, time, and pre-inspection instructions.
