Overview
This process emails your dispatcher within 15 minutes (person who entered the service call in the system) if they forget to add a contact and email in the Caller Contact field of the service call.
Capturing customers contact information is a critical component to communicating effectively to your customers. One of the best places to capture this information is when service calls are placed. If the contact is not in eAutomate, your dispatchers should take the extra minute to capture the caller's name, phone, and email address.
Run Schedule: Every 15 minutes
Type of Output: Email

Alert Functionality
Alert Functionality
This alert looks at CM-Corrective Maintenance category type calls, and alerts within 15 minutes if a new call is entered of that category and NO contact with an email has been linked using the drop down.
If not contact record has been created, you will need to create a NEW contact first
Enter First name, last name and email. It is NOT a requirement to select email as the preferred method of contact in the contact record.
If a Customer or Contact has been opted out from receiving the ID109 surveys, the alert WILL NOT trigger for that service call if contact not linked.
Opt out Customer
Opt out Contact only
Click here for a process to provide visualization to your dispatchers in real time (while they are on the phone to a client), that this contact has previously stated they do not wish to provide an email address. It will avoid dispatchers repeatedly asking every time a call is placed. NOTE, this is just a visualization for dispatchers.
Note: This task WILL UPDATE your new rescheduled service call contact info with the original calls caller contact information if the rescheduled call has dropped that information. There is a fault in the ECI reschedule process that sometimes drops the associated contact record calls that are created automatically by eAutomate's incomplete/reschedule process.

Best Practices & Tips
Best Practices & Tips
Highly recommend setting this alert to go to the creator of the service call i.e. the dispatcher who entered the transaction in EA, by selecting 'Creator' box in the subscription. If additional emails are needed, add them in the CC field of the subscription.
Note: There is a setting available to automatically link the Equipment Contact on the Equipment Record to the service call. We highly recommend NOT using this function as contacts change. This setting is located in Tools/Options/Service Calls as shown here:
