Status Update Automation

Status update automation keeps clients and internal stakeholders informed when a project or service reaches a new phase. It removes the need for staff to remember every progress email while still giving customers confidence that work is moving forward.

How It Works

01

Watch for stage changes

A job, project, or work order changes status inside the task system or CRM.

02

Generate the right update

The automation selects the message template that matches the new phase and fills in relevant dates or next actions.

03

Notify the right people

Clients, team members, or subcontractors receive the update through email, text, or Slack depending on the workflow.

04

Log the communication

The sent status update is saved to the client record so anyone on the team can see what was communicated.
