Automated Pet Sitting Meet-and-Greet Scheduling

When a new client inquiry lands in Scout, WebRun reads the pet details and requested services, checks your Google Calendar for open slots, drafts a personalised meet-and-greet scheduling email with available times, and queues it in Gmail for your approval before it reaches the client.

In short

How do I automatically schedule meet-and-greet appointments with new pet-sitting clients?

WebRun picks up each new client inquiry in Scout, reads the pet and service details, checks your Google Calendar for open slots, and drafts a personalised meet-and-greet scheduling email with 2 to 3 available times. The draft waits in Gmail for your review, so you control exactly what a new client sees before they book.

  • New client inquiries get a scheduling draft ready within minutes
  • Available times are pulled from live calendar data, no double-booking
  • No scheduling email goes to a client without your sign-off

Built for pet sitters · dog walkers · pet sitting businesses · pet care providers

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the scheduling email to the new client automatically?

No. WebRun prepares the draft and leaves it in Gmail for your review. You send it when you are satisfied with the message and the offered time slots.

How does it know which calendar slots are free?

It reads your Google Calendar live each time a new inquiry arrives and only offers windows that have no existing events or blocks.

What if I use a different scheduling tool instead of Google Calendar?

The workflow currently reads availability from Google Calendar. If you use another calendar, connect it to Google Calendar sync or contact support to adapt the workflow.

Put this on autopilot.
