In short

How do I automatically remind customers about upcoming window treatment measure appointments?

WebRun checks Markate every morning for measure appointments in the next 48 hours, drafts an SMS reminder for each customer via Twilio, and logs every reminder to Google Sheets. All messages are held for your approval before delivery, so no customer is texted without your sign-off.

  • No-shows reduced because customers get a timely reminder before every measure visit
  • Every reminder reviewed before it reaches the customer
  • A clear Google Sheets log tracks every upcoming appointment and reminder status

Built for window treatment installers · blinds and shades businesses · home improvement contractors

Questions, answered

Will it text customers automatically without my review?

No. Every SMS is drafted and queued for your approval before it is sent. No customer receives a message until you confirm it, so accidental or incorrect reminders cannot go out on their own.

How far ahead does it look for appointments?

It looks 48 hours ahead each morning by default, giving customers a timely heads-up. You can adjust the lead time when you configure the workflow.

What if an appointment is rescheduled or cancelled in Markate?

WebRun reads live appointment data from Markate each run, so cancelled or rescheduled slots are skipped and no reminder is drafted for them.

Put this on autopilot.
