Types of customer notifications

• Job confirmation: Notifies the customer when a job is added to Scheduler.
• Job reminder: Reminds the customer of an upcoming job, 24 hours before the start time.
  A reminder will only be sent if the job has been sent to the technician’s mobile device.
• Technician on the way: Lets the customer know when a technician is on the way to a job location. This is sent when the technician updates their job status to On My Way using the Reveal Field mobile app.
• Job review: This is sent to the customer to ask them to review their experience of a job.
• Technician delayed: Sent to the customer when a technician is late for a job. The message includes a new Estimated time of arrival (ETA).
