How WhatsApp Maintenance Automation Works
Simple, intelligent automation that transforms how you handle maintenance requests
1. Tenant Reports Issue
Tenant sends WhatsApp message with maintenance request, photos, and details. AI instantly acknowledges receipt.
2. Automatic Processing
System creates work order, identifies urgency, assigns contractor, and creates coordination group if needed.
3. Real-Time Updates
All parties receive updates via WhatsApp. Tenant, contractor, and manager stay informed throughout the process.
Example Conversation
Hi, there's a leak in my kitchen. Water is coming from the ceiling.
[Photo attached]
Thank you for reporting this. I've flagged this as urgent and created a work order. A contractor will be assigned within 2 hours. I'll keep you updated.
Update: Contractor John Smith has been assigned. He'll arrive today between 2-4pm. You'll receive a WhatsApp when he's on his way.

Perfect for HMOs and Social Housing
Real-world use cases that save time and improve tenant satisfaction
Maintenance Coordination Groups
When a tenant reports a repair, automatically create a WhatsApp group with the tenant, property manager, and contractor. All parties stay informed with real-time updates.
Example Flow:
Tenant reports leak → Group created → Contractor assigned → Updates shared → Work completed
HMO Property Management
Manage multiple tenants in HMO properties efficiently. Tenants can report issues via WhatsApp, and you can coordinate repairs across multiple rooms.
Example Flow:
HMO tenant reports heating issue → System identifies property → Creates work order → Notifies all relevant parties
Emergency Response
Urgent maintenance issues are automatically flagged and escalated. AI recognises keywords like "urgent", "emergency", or "leak" and prioritises accordingly.
Example Flow:
Tenant: "URGENT: Water leak" → AI: "I've flagged this as urgent. A contractor will be assigned within 2 hours."

Frequently Asked Questions
How does WhatsApp maintenance automation work?
Tenants send maintenance requests via WhatsApp to your business number. Our AI assistant instantly acknowledges the request, creates a work order in your system, and can automatically create coordination groups with contractors and property managers. All parties receive real-time updates via WhatsApp.
Is this suitable for HMO properties?
Absolutely. WhatsApp automation is perfect for HMO management. You can handle maintenance requests from multiple tenants efficiently, coordinate repairs across different rooms, and maintain complete audit trails for compliance purposes.
What happens outside business hours?
Our AI assistant works 24/7. It acknowledges all requests immediately and can handle routine questions. For urgent issues (detected via keywords like "urgent", "emergency", "leak"), the system automatically escalates to your on-call team via push notifications.
