Retrieve complete booking records and supplier details in seconds without manual searching

Record refunds in accounting software and reconcile with supplier confirmations

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Change request receivedtrigger

A customer change or cancellation request arrives via email. The automation platform monitors the inbox and captures the request with customer and booking details.

2. Extract booking details

The automation reads the request and extracts the customer name, booking reference, and type of change needed. It searches the booking system and retrieves the full booking record.

3. Prepare supplier notification

The automation drafts a supplier change request with all relevant booking and customer information, formatted according to the supplier's requirements.

4. Send to supplier via email

The prepared request is sent to the supplier's email address automatically. The system logs the request timestamp and supplier contact details.

5. Calculate refund amount

The automation retrieves the booking price, applies the cancellation policy, and calculates the refund amount including tax and fee adjustments. The result is logged.

6. Update booking status

The booking record is automatically updated in the booking system and to reflect the pending change or cancellation status.

7. Send customer confirmation

An automated email is sent to the customer confirming the request has been received and providing the expected refund amount and timeline.

8. Notify team

A summary message is posted to the customer service channel with the booking reference, change type, and refund amount for team visibility and tracking.
