Scheduling & Dispatch
Scheduling & Dispatch
Decide who does the work and when — assignment by skill and capacity, appointments, and the daily dispatch pass.

After-Hours Coverage Handoff
Build the end-of-business handoff to on-call or after-hours coverage — open urgent work, expected client callbacks, and site notes the night crew needs.
Appointment No-Show Follow-Up
A client missed a scheduled appointment: log the no-show on the ticket, draft a courteous rebooking email, and apply the repeat-no-show policy on miss #3.
Calendar-Aware Scheduling
Put ticket work on a technician's schedule around their real calendar — check busy periods before proposing a slot, then book it onto the calendar.
Dispatch & Workload
Give a dispatcher the full queue picture: unassigned tickets by priority and age, open work per tech, lightest-load proposals, and a daily audit.
Dispatch Control Tower
The dispatcher's live picture in one view — unassigned queue, at-risk tickets, today's scheduled work, and which technicians are free to pick up right now.
Field Visit Scheduler
Schedule an onsite visit and make the trip count: sweep other open onsite-worthy tickets at the same site, group travel, book, confirm the client.
Morning Briefing
A start-of-day briefing across your tiered support boards — every open human ticket grouped and flagged (unassigned, aging, SLA risk), with the alert/automation noise filtered out, a quick-stats table per board, and the day's key follow-up actions, all in one scannable report.
Morning Dispatch Report
The dispatcher's start-of-day briefing: overnight arrivals, P1/P2 status, unassigned aging, today's scheduled work, and a top-10 priority work list.
Pod-Based Dispatch
Route a ticket to the least-loaded technician in the client's assigned service pod: read the pod from company record, load-balance, assign, and note it.
Reschedule Request Handling
A client asks to move an appointment: find the schedule entry or booking, propose new slots that actually work, update it, and confirm to the client.
Round-Robin Assignment
Distribute incoming tickets fairly across a named technician roster in rotation, honoring exclusion rules — runnable unattended inside a Flow.
Skill-Based Routing
Route a ticket to the technician with demonstrated expertise — who resolved similar issues for this client or this stack — not just whoever is free.
Smart Dispatch
Composite dispatcher skill: classify a new ticket, consult a routing matrix of tech specialties and client familiarity, then assign and schedule.
Technician Availability Check
Answer who is the next available technician by combining today's schedules, priority-weighted open load, and shift or PTO context into a ranked answer.
Tier Dispatcher
Dispatch a new ticket by support tier: classify T1/T2/senior, check that tier's technicians against today's schedule, then assign and book the work around the customer's deadline.
TimeZest Booking
Create a TimeZest scheduling request from a ticket — pick the right appointment type and resource, and drop the self-service booking link into the client reply.
Workload-Balancing Assignment
Assign a ticket to the tech with the best availability score — base capacity minus open tickets minus scheduled blocks — with math shown, runs in Flows.
