Overview

Overview

The experience of your customers within the first few days is critical to setting the tone of the relationship for the next year or so. A service call on brand new equipment is not good, but often it's not that there was a service call, but how quickly did you respond and what actions you take to make it right. 

This alert will trigger when a new service call is opened for equipment that has an install date within Variable X days of install. The alert will trigger again when the call was closed. This allows you to proactively monitor service calls placed on new equipment.

 

Run Schedule: Every 10-minutes

Type of Output: Email

Alert Functionality

Alert Functionality

1. Looks at Open Call Time (not date call invoiced) to consider VariableW Days for closed call info.

2. Alert only triggers on Corrective Maintenance (CM) and Preventative Maintenance (PM) calls, the idea being that you don't want to know about follow-up install or network service calls but just want to be advised if the equipment breaks.

3. If you've opted to send to Sales Rep, we send to the last rep to sell the equipment in question, the alert does not look to Customer or Contract Record settings as it looks at the SalesOrder for Sales Rep assigned.

4. Equipment Record MUST have an Install Date recorded:
