How to Set up Automations

You can use Spectora to send automated emails and text messages to your clients and agents. This makes communication smooth and easy for all of your inspection appointments. Clients and agents can be automatically notified when their inspection is scheduled, reminders for upcoming inspections, and when their report is ready to view. Automations can be customized to fit your business needs. Follow along with the steps below to set up your automations.
​

  1. Go to the Automation tab near the top of your screen

  2. Choose the type of emails/texts you would like to edit.

    1. For example: Scheduling

  3. These emails/texts will be sent immediately after a confirmed inspection is scheduled

  4. Check the box next to the emails and text messages you want to send to clients, client's agents, and listing agents

  5. Click the "Edit Template" button next to each email you have turned on. You will be able to edit what the emails say.

  6. Make sure you check the Subject and Placeholders for every email and text template. Placeholders will auto-populate information from each of your inspections

  7. Don't forget to SAVE!

  8. Repeat this process for every email type, and every client type (client, client's agent, listing agent)
    ​

    πŸ”΄ Note: If you'd like to edit text message content, you can purchase a custom text number. Here is more information about how to purchase a number and why this is required by law.
