Business Automations · Checklist
One workflow.
From trigger to handoff.
A practical audit before you buy another integration. Bring the real steps, tools and exception cases.
Write down the job, not just the app list
- Trigger: what verified event starts the flow — an inquiry, booking status or provider-confirmed payment?
- Data: which fields are necessary, where they live and who is allowed to access them?
- Owner: who replies, approves a proposal, confirms the booking or resolves an exception?
- Action: acknowledgement, team notice, CRM update, onboarding task, invoice or reminder?
- Controls: how will duplicate events, timezones, reschedules, missing data and failed deliveries be handled?
- Approval: which test recipients and sample records will be used, and who authorises customer-facing release?
- Handoff: who monitors errors, pauses the workflow and approves a change?
Keep billing facts separate from guesses
Agree setup, recurring periods, invoice dates, minimum term and tax treatment in writing. A payment message should be tied to provider-confirmed status, not an unverified browser redirect. Due reminders are not permission to change terms or charge a customer again.
A service message is not automatically marketing
Confirmations and account messages have a different purpose from promotion. Under the US CAN-SPAM primary-purpose rules, subject lines, content and placement matter when transactional and commercial content are mixed. Review applicable messaging and consent requirements for your audience; this checklist is not legal advice.
Good first scopes
- Inquiry receipt → named human owner → logged reply task.
- Confirmed booking → tested reminder → reschedule/cancellation handling.
- Approved proposal → onboarding checklist → owner review.
- Verified payment → branded invoice/receipt → agreed future due dates.
Available integrations depend on supported APIs/connectors, access and account plans. Third-party fees, ongoing care and custom combinations need an agreed quote. Nothing on this page implies every MendRev internal email or webhook is already customer-enabled.
Put the guide to work.
Use the Business Auditor to organize reported gaps and unknowns. Then review an editable scope brief for a tailored quote after access and feasibility checks. A manual step or no paid change may be the right fit; no custom amount is invented.
