Dispatch Note Templates

Dispatch Note Templates

To streamline our Job Notes and improve the status updates provided to SPs and Customers, use the following Dispatch note templates.

Only include relevant data elements in your notes. The template is a guide, and if you do not have information for that topic, do not include it in your notes. 


NOTE: Please remember only Sears and GE have integrated calendars with confirmed appointment times.
IF you assign a job to Sears, GE, or Whirlpool, THEN relay the scheduled appointment information to the customer AND include it in the service job notes. 
IF you assign a job to any other provider, DO NOT add a specific date/time in the notes OR relay to the customer.

Customers with an email address on file receive a confirmation email with the job information, and we should ask them to wait 1 business day to contact the provider if the SP has not reached out.

Use the Setting Expectations: Service Appointment scripts to properly communicate expectations with customers.
