Questions, answered

Will it email the customer without anyone reviewing the draft?

No. Every first response is drafted and left unsent in Gmail. Your office reviews and sends it, so no reply reaches a customer without a human check.

How fast does my office get notified of a new request?

Within minutes. WebRun checks Housecall Pro every few minutes for new requests and pings Telegram the moment it finds one, so leads do not sit unanswered.

What if the request is for a job type we do not offer?

The draft flags requests that do not match your listed services, so your office can decline politely instead of scheduling a job you cannot do.

Put this on autopilot.
