Purpose
This page explains how a job that just went sold gets scheduled for its site assessment within the required 48-hour window.
Who owns it
Dispatcher.
Trigger
An opportunity on /opportunities moves to the sold stage after the SAD is paid (see /help/workflows/proposal-to-sad).
Steps
- Check
/dispatchfor newly sold jobs entering the dispatch queue. - Open the job and confirm the property address, door list, and any special access notes from the customer record on
/customers. - Identify an available Project Manager or field team using
/scheduleand/my-schedule. - Book the site assessment appointment on
/appointments, making sure the date/time falls within 48 hours of the sold timestamp. - Confirm the appointment appears on
/schedulefor visibility across the team. - Notify the assigned PM and the customer of the confirmed appointment window.
- Monitor
/dispatchto make sure no sold job sits unscheduled as the SLA clock runs down.
Done when
The site assessment appointment is booked on /appointments within 48 hours of the job being marked sold, and the job no longer appears as unscheduled in /dispatch.
Handoff to
Project Manager (Sergio + PMs), who performs the on-site field capture — see /help/workflows/field-capture.
Common mistakes
- Letting a job sit in the dispatch queue without action, breaching the 48-hour SLA.
- Booking the appointment without checking the PM's real availability on
/my-schedule, causing a reschedule. - Not confirming access details (gate codes, pets, parking) with the customer before the visit.
Warning: The 48-hour SLA is measured from the moment the job is marked sold (SAD paid), not from when someone happens to open /dispatch. Check the queue regularly rather than waiting for a notification.
