Plumbers — Automation for plumbers
Leak calls come in after hours, estimates for repipes and water heaters go quiet, and arrival windows need confirming. These are the parts software can take over, with the dispatcher and plumbers still deciding the diagnosis, the price and any emergency. 49 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for plumbers.
