In short

How do I automatically follow up with customers who missed their appliance repair appointment?

WebRun opens Housecall Pro each morning, finds every appointment marked as a no-show from the previous day, and drafts a polite rescheduling message by email via Gmail and by SMS via Twilio for each customer. Both are queued for your team to approve before sending, so every no-show gets a fast, considered follow-up.

  • Every no-show gets a rescheduling outreach the next morning without manual effort
  • Repeat no-show customers are flagged so your team can apply a smarter booking policy
  • Draft messages mean your team reviews tone before any sensitive follow-up is sent

Questions, answered

Will it contact the customer automatically after a no-show?

No. Every email and SMS is drafted and queued for your team to review. Nothing is sent to the customer until a human approves it, so you control the tone for every sensitive situation.

How does it know an appointment was a no-show and not just rescheduled?

It reads the job status in Housecall Pro at run time. Only appointments marked explicitly as no-show or not completed are included. Rescheduled jobs with a new appointment date are skipped.

Can it flag customers who no-show repeatedly?

Yes. WebRun notes repeat no-shows in its output so your team can see a pattern and decide to apply a different policy, such as requiring a deposit, before rebooking.

Put this on autopilot.
