About This Automation

Automation captures booking requests from all channels, checks technician availability in real time, and sends instant confirmations and reminders. The result is zero double-bookings, fewer no-shows, and the receptionist freed from scheduling admin.

Check real-time technician and service bay availability across all time slots
Confirm appointments instantly and send automated reminders 24 hours before

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Booking Request Receivedtrigger

Customer submits a booking request via email, SMS, or a web form. The request is captured and routed to the booking automation platform.

2. Extract Booking Details

The automation parses the customer message to extract the requested date, time, service type, vehicle details, and contact information, standardising the data.

3. Check Real-Time Availability

The automation queries to find free slots across all service bays and technicians for the requested date and service duration.

4. Confirm Booking in Calendar

The automation creates a calendar event for the confirmed appointment, blocking the technician and bay for the required duration.

5. Send Instant Confirmation

An automated email and SMS confirmation is sent to the customer and with the appointment date, time, location, and service details.

6. Schedule Automated Reminders

The automation schedules two reminders: one 24 hours before the appointment and one 2 hours before, sent via SMS and email.

7. Log Booking to CRM

The appointment is logged with customer contact details, service type, and appointment status for reporting and follow-up.
