How Do I Remind Customers of Their Next Scheduled Service?
You remind customers by linking each scheduled visit to an automatic message sent a few days before, asking them to confirm or reschedule, and updating the visit record with their reply. On Jestor, this runs through automation and the native WhatsApp integration, which uses Meta's official API.
A visit that nobody remembers is a wasted trip. Technicians arrive to find no one home, and the company pays for the travel while the customer is still without service.
What visits without reminders cost
- Technicians arriving at empty properties
- Wasted travel time and fuel
- Customers forgetting the date and getting upset about the delay
- Dispatchers calling to confirm each visit by hand
- Rescheduling that happens only after a failed trip
How automatic visit reminders work
- Each visit triggers a message a few days before
- The customer replies to confirm or ask to move the visit
- The visit status updates based on the reply
- Unconfirmed visits are flagged for a call
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Fewer failed visits mean lower costs
- Dispatchers spend time on exceptions, not routine calls
- Customers feel informed and respected
- This scales from a few visits a day to hundreds
