Automate restoration acknowledgement keywords and inspection reschedules on WhatsApp
Own confirmation keywords, inspection reschedules inside published windows, and post-visit prompts that write dispositions into the restoration CRM, while emergency keywords jump to on-call techs.
What is restoration automation automation?
When an on-call tech texts OK after a water-loss summary, WhatsApp automation marks the restoration CRM job acknowledged and stops reminder pings. If a later message says sewage or still running, the happy path breaks and pages a tech with the job ID. Inspection moves stay inside published calendar rules. This is confirmation plumbing, not first-ring wake-up; that stays on the Restoration Answer Desk and inbound restoration WhatsApp chat.
Designed for this workflow
Restoration outcomes, not generic automation
Capture OK acknowledgements from on-call texts
When a tech replies OK, mark the restoration CRM job acknowledged without a coordinator chasing screenshots.
Reschedule inspections inside published rules
Offer only allowed windows and write the new time back to the job.
Jump out on sewage, collapse, or still-running water
Keyword and intent checks stop the happy path and page a tech.
Log every automated turn on the claim
Dispositions and timestamps stay attachable for the carrier file.
Controlled rollout
Start restoration automation with approved content, escalation triggers, and a clear human owner. Review real conversations before expanding coverage.
Continuous improvement
Use restoration automation outcomes to find missed intents, weak prompts, and unnecessary transfers, then turn each finding into a measurable change.
How it works
A clear restoration workflow
Define restoration keywords that finish versus keywords that escalate
Map OK, reschedule, and photo-received to automation. Map sewage, still running, collapse, and price questions to on-call transfer.
Connect those keywords to restoration CRM dispositions
Acknowledged, rescheduled, declined, and needs-tech must write to the job, not only to the WhatsApp thread.
Test freeze-night volume before enabling extra automations
Prove acknowledgement and reschedule paths on a quiet week, then add post-visit prompts so storm nights do not run untested flows.
