Remind customers before every handyman appointment
Every morning, WebRun opens Housecall Pro, finds every job scheduled for the next 24 hours, drafts a short, friendly text reminder for each customer in Twilio, and posts the queued batch to Slack so your office can review and release them before the crew heads out.

How do I automatically send appointment reminders for handyman jobs?
WebRun checks Housecall Pro every morning for handyman jobs scheduled in the next 24 hours, then drafts a short, personalized reminder text for each customer in Twilio naming the job and arrival window. The batch is queued in Slack for your office to review, so reminders go out only after a human approves them.
- Customers get a reminder text drafted the morning before every job
- Missed appointments drop because every job in the next 24 hours is covered
- Office staff approve a full day's reminders in one Slack review
Built for handyman businesses · home repair contractors · multi-trade service companies · handyman dispatchers

Questions, answered
Will it text customers without anyone checking first?
No. Every reminder is drafted and queued in Twilio. Your office reviews and releases the batch, so no text reaches a customer without a human check.
What happens if a job gets rescheduled after the reminder is drafted?
It reads the live schedule in Housecall Pro each morning, so a job moved or cancelled before the run simply will not appear in that day's batch.
Can the reminder mention the specific handyman job, like a door repair or drywall patch?
Yes. Each text names the actual job type and arrival window pulled from Housecall Pro, not a generic placeholder.
