Automate status reports on leads, bookings, and open enquiries

Purpose

1. Automate the collection, synthesis, and delivery of status reports on leads, bookings, and open enquiries for marquee hire entities.

2. Facilitate automated reporting to management and stakeholders, ensuring actionable intelligence on rent, hire, availability, win rates, and conversion.

3. Automate integrations across CRM, email, SMS, dashboards, and team chat, reducing manual report compilation time and minimizing human error.

4. Provide both scheduled and on-demand automated analytics for business performance and client enquiry tracking.

5. Enable data-driven decisions by automating the aggregation of real-time data across workflows, streamlining marquee availability and customer enquiry resolution.

Trigger Conditions

1. New lead creation or modification in CRM automates a report update.

2. Booking status changes (confirmed, cancelled, completed) trigger automated status report generation.

3. Any open enquiry older than a set threshold (e.g., 48 hours) automates an alert in status reporting.

4. Scheduled automation (e.g., daily/weekly reporting) activates at predefined times.

5. Manual on-demand report requests by staff automates instant analytics retrieval.
