Client feedback intake automation

Purpose

1. Automate the process of collecting, organizing, and responding to client feedback throughout the landscape design project lifecycle.

2. Automating the intake streamlines communication, improves client satisfaction, facilitates iterative design adjustments, and ensures all feedback is tracked, stored, categorized, and actionable.

3. Centralizes feedback channels (email, SMS, forms, chat) to a single automated workflow avoiding lost or delayed inputs, leading to enhanced project outcomes.

Trigger Conditions

1. Client submits feedback via any designated channel (form, email reply, SMS, chat, review).

2. Completion of project milestones triggers automated feedback requests.

3. Scheduled automation routine gathers recurring feedback (e.g., monthly design check-ins).

4. Client's inactivity for a defined period automates a reminder for feedback.
