Automated internal notifications for new tasks or tickets

Purpose

1. Automate the delivery of internal notifications whenever new tasks or support tickets arise, alerting relevant staff in real-time within a boat dealership.

2. Automating ensures sales, service, and office teams never miss critical assignments, enhancing responsiveness and collaboration.

3. Enable automated escalation if tickets or tasks are unacknowledged, reducing bottlenecks and boosting operational efficiency.

4. Integrate automatedly with both legacy and modern platforms, so notifications reach users via email, SMS, chat, or voice without manual intervention.

5. Automator triggers can surface notifications based on sales leads, warranty requests, service appointments, or customer inquiries linked to boat sales and servicing.

Trigger Conditions

1. Creation of a new service ticket or customer inquiry in CRM or helpdesk.

2. Assignment of a new task in project management or dealer management software.

3. Sales inquiries logged from web forms or email.

4. Manual flagging/escalation of tasks requiring supervisor review.

5. Custom criteria—such as “high value” clients or overdue tasks—automatically triggering urgent alerts.
