Your customer journey, automated

From first enquiry to finished job.
And a review that builds your reputation.

A homeowner needs your help. We connect the steps from their first website request or phone call to the estimate, the work, the payment and the review—so your team can spend less time chasing and more time on the job.

Two ways in. One connected customer journey.

  • Website lead

    A homeowner requests an estimate or starts a website conversation.

  • Phone call lead

    A homeowner calls your business—even while you're on another job.

From here, every next step has a system behind it.

10 stages · 64 ways to automate the journey

  1. 01

    Every enquiry has a home—and a next step.

    Without a system: Website requests sit in an inbox while phone enquiries get lost between the office and the truck.

    • Website estimate requests

      Collect contact details, property addresses, service needs and project information through a website form.

    • Inbound call tracking

      Associate calls to configured business numbers with contact records and supported call-source reporting.

    • Ad & website lead capture

      Bring connected ad leads, website enquiries and chat contacts into one contact system.

    • Contact records & source tracking

      Keep enquiry history, custom fields, source tags and supported campaign attribution together.

    • Consent & welcome email

      Capture communication preferences and start an email sequence when the customer opts in.

    • Duplicate-contact management

      Use configured matching and merge tools to keep repeat enquiries connected to the same customer.

    A home services example

    A homeowner requests a gutter estimate on your website or calls your business. Their address, contact details and service request are organized in one customer record.

  2. 02

    Customers hear back. Your team knows who needs attention.

    Without a system: An unanswered call or slow reply sends a potential customer to the next contractor.

    • Missed-call text-back

      Acknowledge a missed call and invite the caller to continue the conversation by text.

    • New-enquiry acknowledgements

      Send a relevant email or text after a form submission instead of leaving customers waiting.

    • Website AI chat

      Answer configured questions, collect lead details and hand conversations to your team.

    • One conversation inbox

      Keep connected email, SMS and supported social messages with the customer's record.

    • Team alerts & lead assignment

      Notify the right person and assign a lead by service, location or a configured routing rule.

    • AI phone answering & human handoff

      A configured voice assistant can answer questions, collect job details and book supported appointments, with transfer rules for your team.

    • After-hours response rules

      Send appropriate next steps outside office hours and route urgent enquiries according to your escalation rules.

    A home services example

    You miss a call while installing a roof. A text acknowledges the enquiry, the customer replies with their address, and your office gets an alert.

  3. 03

    Relevant follow-up turns more enquiries into real opportunities.

    Without a system: Someone asks for an estimate, but nobody follows up—or you spend time chasing the wrong jobs.

    • Email & text follow-up sequences

      Space out helpful messages for opted-in leads who haven't booked yet.

    • Project qualification

      Use form answers and custom fields to flag service area, job type, timing and budget.

    • Pipeline stages & lead tags

      See who is new, contacted, qualified, booked or not ready—and trigger the next step.

    • Reply-aware follow-up

      Configure sequences to stop on a reply or booking so customers aren't chased unnecessarily.

    • Tasks & overdue-lead alerts

      Create callback tasks and escalate enquiries that haven't received attention.

    • Service-area & urgency routing

      Branch follow-up based on location, requested service and urgency; flag unsuitable jobs for a human response.

    • Long-term lead nurture

      Keep not-ready homeowners in relevant, consent-based follow-up until they reply, book or opt out.

    A home services example

    A remodel enquiry enters an email sequence with project examples and a booking invitation. When the homeowner replies, the sequence pauses and your team takes over.

  4. 04

    A confirmed time, the right person, and the details up front.

    Without a system: Phone tag and calendar conflicts delay the visit before the work even starts.

    • Online booking calendars

      Let customers choose an available appointment time from a booking link.

    • Connected calendars & availability

      Use calendar connections, buffers and availability rules to reduce scheduling conflicts.

    • Team & round-robin booking

      Distribute appointments across available estimators or the appropriate team calendar.

    • Pre-visit questions

      Collect the property address, service needs and access details during booking.

    • Confirmations & calendar invites

      Send the appointment details and move the opportunity into the booked stage.

    • Booking follow-up

      Remind an opted-in lead who was invited to book but hasn't scheduled an estimate yet.

    A home services example

    A homeowner picks an available estimate slot, answers a few project questions and receives a confirmation with the visit details.

  5. 05

    Customers stay informed and missed appointments get a next step.

    Without a system: Forgotten appointments, last-minute changes and no-shows waste valuable time.

    • Email & SMS reminders

      Send scheduled reminders with the appointment time and visit details.

    • Reply-to-confirm

      Use customer replies to notify the team or update a configured confirmation field.

    • Reschedule & cancellation links

      Give customers a simple way to change their appointment.

    • Pre-visit instructions

      Share access requirements or what the customer should have ready.

    • No-show recovery

      When an appointment is marked as missed, follow up with a fresh booking invitation.

    • Estimator reminders & visit tasks

      Notify the assigned team member and create preparation tasks before the appointment.

    A home services example

    The customer receives a reminder before the visit. If they can't make it, they get a rescheduling link instead of starting another round of phone tag.

  6. 06

    Clear proposals, timely follow-up and fewer forgotten estimates.

    Without a system: Quotes disappear into inboxes while your team wonders which customers are ready to go.

    • Digital estimates & proposals

      Send itemized pricing and scope that customers can review and accept.

    • Documents & e-signatures

      Send agreements for signature and keep signed documents with the customer record.

    • Estimate follow-up

      Check in on open estimates and stop the sequence when the quote is accepted.

    • Acceptance alerts & stage updates

      Notify the team when a customer approves and trigger the next configured step.

    • Deposit requests

      Request an agreed deposit through a connected payment provider when appropriate.

    • Declined or stalled estimate routing

      Create a task or move the opportunity when an estimate is declined or remains unaccepted; stop inappropriate sales messages.

    A home services example

    You send a window replacement estimate. An unaccepted quote gets a helpful check-in; acceptance moves the opportunity forward and ends the quote follow-up.

  7. 07

    A clearer handoff and fewer 'what happens next?' calls.

    Without a system: Customers ask for updates while handoffs and job details get lost between your office and crew.

    • Project handoff tasks

      Create internal tasks and assign responsibilities when approved work changes stage.

    • Customer onboarding messages

      Send preparation instructions, contact information and the next steps for the job.

    • Stage-triggered project updates

      Send relevant updates when your team or a connected job system changes the project status.

    • Shared notes & job information

      Keep project details and customer conversations available to your office team.

    • Completion follow-up

      A completed-job status can trigger care instructions, an invoice or a feedback request.

    • Job-system connections

      Connect supported job software through integrations or webhooks so recorded status changes can drive customer messages; dispatch remains in your job system.

    A home services example

    When your office moves a project to scheduled, the customer receives preparation instructions and your team gets a checklist. Marking it complete starts the next steps.

  8. 08

    A simpler payment experience and consistent invoice follow-up.

    Without a system: The job is finished, but the invoice is still unpaid and nobody has time to chase it.

    • Digital invoices & payment links

      Send an invoice customers can pay through a supported connected payment provider.

    • Unpaid-invoice reminders

      Follow up on outstanding balances using configured reminder schedules.

    • Receipts & payment alerts

      A recorded payment can send a receipt and notify your office.

    • Recurring billing

      Support eligible maintenance plans or subscriptions through connected payment tools.

    • Payment-status follow-up

      Use payment events to update records, stop reminders or create a task for a failed payment.

    • Overdue-balance escalation

      Create an office task when a balance stays overdue, instead of sending reminders indefinitely.

    A home services example

    A completed gutter installation triggers an invoice with a payment link. Scheduled reminders follow an unpaid balance and stop when payment is recorded.

  9. 09

    More opportunities from the customers and marketing you already have.

    Without a system: Past customers are forgotten, seasonal work gets missed and it's hard to know which leads paid off.

    • Seasonal service reminders

      Schedule relevant maintenance invitations using service dates and customer segments.

    • Customer reactivation

      Reconnect with opted-in past customers who haven't booked in a while.

    • Relevant cross-sell campaigns

      Offer related services based on completed work, interests and communication preferences.

    • Pipeline & conversion reporting

      Review lead progress, appointment outcomes and recorded sales to spot bottlenecks.

    • Campaign & source reporting

      Compare supported source and campaign data; attribution depends on connected channels and tracking.

    • Care instructions & satisfaction check-ins

      Send relevant aftercare information and create a service-recovery task when a customer needs help.

    • Referral invitations & tracking

      Send a separate invitation to recommend your business and tag referred enquiries through a dedicated referral page.

    A home services example

    An opted-in gutter customer receives a seasonal cleaning reminder. Your office can follow the pipeline from the original enquiry to the completed job and recorded payment.

  10. 10

    Every eligible customer gets an honest review invitation. Your reputation keeps building after the crew leaves.

    Without a system: The work is done, but asking for reviews becomes one more task nobody gets around to.

    • Job-triggered Google review requests

      Use a recorded completion or payment event to invite every eligible customer to leave an honest public review, without filtering by sentiment.

    • Timed email & SMS invitations

      Choose an appropriate delay, communication channel and consent-based schedule after the job.

    • Review-request reminders & stop rules

      Send limited follow-ups and stop when a supported review event is recorded or the customer opts out; review matching depends on the connected platform.

    • Review monitoring & team alerts

      Track connected reviews and notify your office when a new review arrives.

    • AI-assisted review responses

      Draft or configure supported automatic replies with your brand voice and preferred approval process; route sensitive responses to a person.

    • Private feedback & service recovery

      Collect feedback separately and assign concerns to a person, without withholding the public review link.

    • Review widgets & reputation reporting

      Display connected reviews on your website and track supported review activity over time.

    A home services example

    After a completed gutter job, a timed text or email invites the homeowner to leave a Google review. A recorded review stops the reminders, and your office is notified when a response needs attention.

Start with the step that's costing you customers.

We build around your services, your team and your customer journey. These are available capabilities—not everything included in one automation. Messaging follows customer consent and unsubscribe preferences. AI, payments and connected job systems may need additional setup and incur separate charges. Your crew still does the work; your team keeps control.
