The situation
Property managers
When tenants report issues, property managers must coordinate communications between tenants and contractors, logging events and keeping everyone informed – but endless manual calls or group texts can slow down resolution and risk missing updates.
A practical workflow
- Receive a tenant’s SMS about a maintenance problem directly to your unified dashboard or app.
- Forward the request via SMS to a preferred contractor with job details, tracking outgoing replies.
- Confirm the scheduled contractor visit to the tenant using your business number, with optional AI-crafted responses for quick acknowledgements.
Why it helps
Tenants get timely updates, contractors receive clear instructions, and all SMS interactions are logged in one accessible system.
What to check first
SMS updates are convenient for routine requests. Urgent safety incidents need a human escalation path, not an automated promise.
Questions for this activity
Can maintenance photos be shared via SMS?
SMS is for text-based updates only; direct tenants to email or a portal for any photos.
What if a contractor does not use SMS?
You can track alternate communications in your workflow, but SMS replies are only synced for compatible phone numbers.
