Automated Outreach: Real-Time SMS Updates for Every Job

Phone tag wastes time, emails get buried, and missed messages stall progress. BlueClerk solves the status-update headache with Automated Outreach—a built-in SMS engine that texts builders and homeowners the moment a job is scheduled, rescheduled, or marked complete.

How the SMS Workflow Operates

Job Scheduled

When your office locks in a date and time.

Job Rescheduled

Any change in schedule instantly pushes a new text.

Job Completed

Field crew finishes work and closes the job in the app.

Message Format

Each SMS follows a simple, branded format:

[Company Name] | Job #[Number] | [Street Address] — [Status]

Examples:

"Norton Plumbing | Job #3142 | 123 Elm St. scheduled for Mon 9 AM."
"Norton Plumbing | Job #3142 | 123 Elm St. completed."

Benefits for Contractors, Builders, and Homeowners

Instant Clarity

Everyone sees the same concise information: who, what, and where.

Fewer Check-In Calls

Builders aren't left wondering if crews showed up; homeowners know when to expect workers.

Professional Brand Image

Consistent, branded texts look polished compared with ad-hoc personal messages.

Time Saved

Office staff stop dialing phones for routine updates and focus on higher-value tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can recipients reply to the SMS?

No. Messages are intentionally one-way to keep communication centralized in BlueClerk and prevent important details from scattering across personal devices.

Does Automated Outreach cost extra?

Every BlueClerk plan includes a bundle of SMS credits sized for normal job volume. Additional credits are available at wholesale rates if needed.

What happens if a job is rescheduled multiple times?

Each reschedule triggers a fresh SMS with the new date and time. The timeline keeps a record of every change.
