Automatic customer notifications

Email the right customer contacts automatically when a job is dispatched and when it's completed — the completion email carries a branded PDF.

Automatic customer notifications

Roldesk can email your customer automatically at the two moments they care about most: when a technician is on the way and when the job is done. It's opt-in per contact and fully branded as your business.

How it works

  1. On a contact (under CRM), turn on Notify on dispatch and/or Notify on completion.
  2. When a work order for that contact's account moves to DISPATCHED, everyone on the account who opted into dispatch gets an email.
  3. When the same work order is marked COMPLETED, everyone who opted into completion gets an email — and that one has the finished work-order PDF attached.

Only contacts with the matching toggle on are emailed. If nobody opted in, nothing is sent.

Branding

The emails and the attached PDF use your organization profile — your logo, colors, and business details — plus your workspace's customer-facing language and currency. Completion PDFs are marked "Powered by Roldesk." Customers see your brand, not ours.

Who controls it

This is backoffice-only. Your team decides which contacts are notified; customers never opt themselves in or out. That keeps you in control of exactly who hears from you.

Reliability

Notifications are fire-and-forget: if an email hiccups, it never blocks or delays the actual status change on the work order. The job status is always the source of truth.
