Smart Alerts
Never let a job, invoice, or follow-up slip.
ServBuilder watches your schedule and your books. When something needs attention — an overdue invoice, a job reminder, a follow-up — it tells you automatically.
In depth
What Smart Alerts does for your business
The gap between a completed service visit and a paid invoice is filled with manual follow-up tasks that most small service businesses cannot keep up with consistently. A customer who does not receive a reminder forgets about their appointment. An invoice that sits without a nudge gets pushed to the bottom of someone's to-do list. A follow-up that never happens means a maintenance contract that does not renew. ServBuilder's smart alerts automate all of this. You configure your alert rules once — job reminder 24 hours before, payment nudge 3 days after invoice, annual maintenance reminder 11 months after the last service — and ServBuilder handles the outreach by email, using your business name. Technicians receive their own push notifications for new assignments, schedule changes, and customer messages. Texts coming soon. All outbound alerts are tracked in a dashboard, so you can see which customers received and opened their reminders and follow up personally on the few that need a human touch.
How it works
The follow-up you always forget to do

FAQ
Common questions about Smart Alerts
Can I customize the wording of the messages customers receive?
Yes. Every alert template — job reminders, invoice nudges, follow-ups — can be edited to match your business's tone, and templates use your business name so they don't read as generic system messages.
Do alerts go out by email, push notification, or both? (Texts coming soon.)
Customers get email. Technicians get a push in the app for a schedule change or a new assignment. Texts coming soon.
What if a customer does not want a reminder?
Leave that customer on email, or skip the reminder. You choose per customer.
Can technicians turn off their own push notifications?
Techs can adjust notification preferences for non-critical alerts, but new job assignments and schedule changes are always delivered to make sure nothing is missed.
