It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

When a customer requests an installation, you need your team to check availability before confirming, but that back-and-forth happens over scattered texts and calls. Meanwhile the customer is left waiting to hear if their appointment is set.

Who it fits

HVAC companies, internet providers, and other service businesses that need team sign-off before confirming appointments.

How it works

  1. A customer submits a booking request through your form
  2. Your team gets a Slack message with the request details and approve or reject options
  3. Based on the team's decision, the system sends the customer an email
  4. Approved requests get a confirmation with appointment details; rejected ones get a friendly reschedule link
What you get

Booking requests approved and answered fast

New installation requests reach your team on Slack for a quick approval, then your customer gets an instant confirmation or reschedule email.

What you get

A Slack approval message for your team and an automatic confirmation or reschedule email to the customer.

What you need

A Slack workspace and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
