In short

How do I automatically follow up on unapproved appliance repair estimates?

WebRun opens ServiceM8 each morning, finds repair estimates sent more than 48 hours ago without customer approval, and drafts a polite follow-up email via Gmail for each. It also posts an open-estimate summary to Slack so your team can prioritise, and no customer message goes out until a human approves it.

  • Stalled estimates get a timely follow-up before the customer calls a competitor
  • Your team sees the full open-estimate pipeline ranked by value each morning
  • No customer message goes out without a human review

Questions, answered

Will it email customers without someone reviewing the message first?

No. Every follow-up email is left as a Gmail draft for your team to approve. Nothing is sent to the customer until a human reviews and sends it.

Can it handle estimates that need a different follow-up message?

Yes. Because every draft is reviewed before sending, your team can edit the message for any estimate that needs a different tone or extra detail before it goes out.

What happens if the customer approves the estimate on the same morning WebRun runs?

WebRun reads the live status in ServiceM8 at run time. Estimates approved before the run starts are skipped, so you will not accidentally follow up on a job that is already moving.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
