The Problem

Many service platforms struggle with consistent customer follow-up after job completion. Manually sending emails to gather feedback and update job statuses is time-consuming and prone to errors. This often leads to missed opportunities for improvement and reduced customer engagement.

Without an automated system, businesses face challenges in tracking job completion and ensuring timely follow-ups. This can result in lower customer satisfaction, fewer reviews, and a lack of valuable insights into service quality. The manual effort required also diverts resources from other critical tasks.

The Solution

We built an automated job completion follow-up email system using n8n. This workflow automates the process of sending personalized emails to customers 7 days after a job is marked as complete. It queries purchased leads, filters them by date, and sends emails via Gmail/Outlook.

n8n was chosen for its flexibility and ability to integrate seamlessly with Supabase for job status updates and Gmail for email sending. The system also includes a webhook for receiving customer feedback, allowing for continuous improvement of service quality.
