Telling your customer somebody is on the way

When the crew taps En Route, your customer gets a text and a page showing who is coming, when, and what van to look for.

Every plan, with some parts on Professional or Crew Your business online

The day board showing a job running behind its window

A customer who has booked a visit spends the morning not knowing whether anybody is coming. You know precisely — the crew taps En Route, the day board updates, the job records it — and until now nobody outside the office was told.

This is the other end of that tap.

What your customer gets

When somebody sets off, your customer gets a text saying who is on the way, with a link to a page showing:

  • Their name and photograph.
  • What they specialize in.
  • The appointment window.
  • The service address.
  • The van to look for.

That turns an unknown vehicle in the drive into a person somebody is expecting.

What happens when the crew arrives

The page stops describing a journey and becomes a confirmation — they are here.

A week after the job is finished, the link stops working. It described one visit, and a link that outlives its purpose is a link somebody forwarded to a stranger.

See The links you send clients.

Control what is shown about your people

The name, photo and specialty come from what you chose to publish on that worker’s profile — see What your client sees about your people.

Nothing else from a worker’s record is ever shown. A worker with nothing published is not described.

What it costs

The tracking page itself is on every plan. Sending the text needs Professional, because a message costs per send — see Text messages and consent.

Your customer has to have agreed to service texts before one is sent, which is a rule the product applies rather than something you have to remember.

This page describes Customer Tracking — The Page the Customer Opens. It is written from that feature’s record and covers what has shipped, never what is planned.
