- Text Scheduling Appointment Confirmation
- Once scheduling is completed, a text and/or email will be sent to your customer(s) based on the delay time set in your Preferences.
- Example: If you started scheduling your inspections at 9:30am your time and you set the text delay for 20 minutes, the text for that location will be sent to that customer around 9:50am your time.
- We recommend setting the text delay to at least 20 minutes while you are learning the program. Depending on the amount of inspections you are scheduling at one time, you may need to increase or decrease the delay time.
- If Customer Response is by text, those responses will be displayed on the Scheduling page Calendar.
- There are four possible responses:
- Contacted-No Response
- This indicates the text and email were sent successfully, but there has been no response from your customer
- `Undelivered
- This shows the location’s phone number cannot receive texts or is a landline
- You will need to contact the customer manually.
- Scheduled
- This shows the inspection time has been confirmed by your customer.
- Unscheduled/Declined
- This shows the customer has declined the suggested appointment date and time.
- You will need to contact the insured manually.
- Once scheduling is completed, a text and/or email will be sent to your customer(s) based on the delay time set in your Preferences.
