About This Automation

Vehicle inspection reports combine checklist results, photos, and a written narrative for the customer. Compiling these manually across multiple documents and folders is slow and prone to formatting errors.

An automation gathers checklist data and photos, drafts the narrative, and formats the finished report automatically. The completed report is then delivered to the customer and archived without manual handling.

Key features
Pulls completed checklist results and inspection photos automatically into the report draft
Drafts a plain language narrative summarizing findings for the customer
Formats photos and findings into the shop's standard report template
Routes the finished report for manager review before sending
Converts the approved report to a customer ready PDF
Delivers the report by email and archives a copy automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Checklist Submittedtrigger

Automation starts the moment a technician completes and submits the digital inspection checklist.

2. Draft Report Generates Narrative

The automation pulls checklist data and photo files, drafts a plain language summary for the customer, and flags any failed items.

3. Format Report

The automation inserts the drafted narrative and photos into the shop's branded report template automatically.

4. Export Report To PDF

Converts the finished report into a customer ready PDF as soon as formatting is complete.

5. Manager Reviews Flagged Report

Reports containing failed inspection items route to the service manager for a quick accuracy check before anything is sent.

6. Send Report

The approved or unflagged report is emailed to the customer automatically with the PDF attached.

7. Archive Report

A copy of the final report and photos is filed into the customer's folder for future reference.
