WHY THE DETAILS MATTER
Different calls. Different decisions.
Equipment details can be incomplete.
Note what has already been selected and what still needs advice from an electrician.
Technical confidence can become a false promise.
Keep safety judgments, electrical capacity and final scope with qualified staff.

Answers you approve
Explain approved service categories, estimate policies and business hours. Collect questions about equipment or pricing for a qualified person when no approved answer exists.
Decisions your team keeps
No safety clearance, remote diagnosis or instructions to work on electrical equipment. Reported immediate danger follows approved safety wording. A flagged request is not a live transfer or emergency dispatch.
THE NEXT SYSTEM IN YOUR WORKFLOW
A prepared brief, with a path to your existing tools.
An estimate enquiry may need a site assessment before an installation can be scheduled. Preserve those as separate steps in any future connection.
CRM and scheduling connections are planned. Tell us the app you use so we can assess the connection, required fields and approval rules.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you get started.
Can it collect EV charger enquiries?
It can ask about the property, intended installation location and whether a charger has been chosen. An electrician determines capacity and installation requirements.
Can it tell callers an electrical problem is safe?
No. The business defines approved safety wording and staff escalation. Intake is not a safety assessment.
