A tune-up reminder, start to finish, as Cardinal

How one homeowner hears from Cardinal about a fall heating cleaning and tune-up: a text, an email if needed, and a note in My Cardinal Home, their Cardinal homeowner portal. Every message carries Cardinal's name, logo and colors. Doorway stays out of sight.

Cardinal's office approves the fall reminder once

The portal finds every home whose furnace is due, using Cardinal's own job history from ServiceTitan. A manager reads the message, checks the count and approves it. No one has to build a list or write texts one by one.

Megan gets a text from Cardinal

It comes from Cardinal's number and shows Cardinal's name and logo when she taps the link. It is short, names her furnace, and gives one thing to do.

An email follows only if the text goes unanswered

If Megan hasn't opened the link after two days, one email goes out. It counts as the same reminder, so it doesn't use up her monthly limit. It comes from Cardinal's address and is designed in Cardinal's colors.

Details shown

The link opens My Cardinal Home

The same reminder waits at the top of her portal, with a badge on the bell. The portal looks like Cardinal's own site. Cardinal is her pro for heating and cooling, plumbing and electric, and she can add pros for other kinds of work that Cardinal doesn't do, like lawn mowing, gutter cleaning or pest control.

Her phone number and a one-time code.

She picks a day and a window

Megan chooses from openings Cardinal has made available. Her pick goes to Cardinal's office as a request. Cardinal's team books it in ServiceTitan the way they do today, so the screen says "request sent", never "booked".

Confirmations follow what Cardinal already records

Once the job is booked in ServiceTitan, Megan gets the confirmation. The day before, she gets a reminder. When the technician is dispatched in ServiceTitan, she gets an on-the-way text. Each one comes from Cardinal, and each one is sent only after that step really happened.

Technicians
Nothing new to tap or send. The texts follow the job status they already set.
The portal
Shows the same booked visit and, after it, the visit notes.

What stays true in every message

Cardinal's name on everything

Cardinal's number, email address, logo and colors. Megan's homeowner portal looks like Cardinal's own site. Doorway's name never shows.

Nothing on a technician's plate

Messages are triggered by records Cardinal already keeps in ServiceTitan. No new tools, buttons or steps for the field.

Fewer, better messages

At most 2 a month per home, sent in daytime hours. STOP and unsubscribe work every time. Cardinal's customers stay Cardinal's.

Sample walkthrough. Megan, her address, the dates, the counts, the links and the system details are made up for illustration. Cardinal's logo and mascot are Cardinal's own.
