Post-project maintenance scheduling

Purpose

1. Automate post-project maintenance scheduling to ensure timely follow-ups, preventative checks, and ongoing support for clients after estate liquidation projects.

2. Automating maintenance keeps clients engaged, supports compliance, reduces missed obligations, and adds value via proactive customer support.

3. Automator processes trigger notifications, generate tasks, allocate resources, and facilitate continued communication automatedly.

Trigger Conditions

1. Project status updated to "completed" in estate liquidator’s CRM.

2. Scheduled time lapse (e.g., 30/60/90 days) post-sale triggers the automated follow-up.

3. Client feedback form submitted, automatically activating review/maintenance scheduling.

4. Warranty or contract expiry dates auto-trigger reminders and technician assignments.

5. Manual override by team lead, pushing the automation sequence.
