Remind past customers when inspections are due
Keep a simple list of jobs and automatically remind customers when their periodic check is due.
The problem
Landlords and businesses often need periodic electrical inspections, but they forget, and so do you. That's repeat work slipping away.
What it could earn or save you
Rough estimate- Time
- About 1 hour a month
- Money
- Could bring in repeat inspection jobs you'd otherwise miss
How we got this: Based on replacing manual diary checks; value depends on how many past customers need periodic checks. Your results depend on your business; this is an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee.
How to switch it on
- 1
Create a Google Sheet: customer, email, phone, job type, date done, next check due (follow the interval required in your country).
- 2
Connect it to Zapier or Make: each day, find rows where 'next check due' is in 30 days.
- 3
Have it send an email using the template below (Gmail or Outlook step).
- 4
Add a booking link (Calendly) so they can pick a slot.
