What good looks like

A tested booking flow with clear services, coverage, availability, expectations, and office review.

Have these details ready

  • Services suitable for online request
  • Coverage, hours, lead time, and capacity rules
  • The employee reviewing requests

Run the workflow

  1. Choose services

    Offer services a customer can identify without diagnosis. Define description, duration, price presentation, questions, and when to call.

  2. Set availability

    Configure area, hours, notice, blackout dates, capacity, and approval requirements.

  3. Collect useful information

    Require contact, location, problem, equipment, access, and consent fields needed for review.

  4. Set intake ownership

    Decide whether requests are confirmed or reviewed and assign the queue owner.

  5. Test like a customer

    Submit mobile and desktop tests for in-area, out-of-area, and unavailable cases. Verify wording and created records.

  6. Publish and monitor

    Share the supported link and review no-match, duplicate, and abandoned requests during rollout.

Check your work

Do not call the workflow complete until these statements are true.

  • A mobile customer can submit valid work
  • Unsupported requests are handled clearly
  • Each request reaches a named queue

If something does not look right

Customers choose the wrong service

Rewrite choices in homeowner language and narrow overlaps.

Times exceed capacity

Tighten lead time, duration, crew, or approval rules and retest.
