Automated Tree Service Weather Reschedule Notices

Every evening, WebRun checks tomorrow's job schedule in Jobber, reviews weather conditions for each job's site location, drafts a reschedule notice for any customer whose job is at risk, and posts a weather impact summary to your crew Slack channel so everyone knows the plan before morning.

In short

How do I automatically notify customers and crews when tree jobs need to be rescheduled for weather?

WebRun checks tomorrow's Jobber job schedule every evening and reviews the weather forecast for each site location. It drafts a reschedule notice in Gmail for any weather-affected job and posts a crew briefing to Slack, so your team can decide on changes and customers are notified before morning.

  • Customers get a reschedule notice the evening before, not the morning of, a cancelled job
  • Crew starts each day with a clear Slack briefing on weather impact
  • No crew drives to a site that was already rained out

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send reschedule notices to customers automatically?

No. Every notice is saved as a Gmail draft for your team to review first. A human makes the final call on whether to reschedule each job.

How does it know the weather at each job site?

It reads the site address for each job from Jobber and checks the forecast for that location. Jobs in different areas may have different weather risk levels.

What types of weather trigger a reschedule flag?

Rain, high winds above a threshold you set, and lightning are the default triggers. You can adjust the thresholds during setup to match your operational safety standards.
