Automations for real estate
Shift and schedule alerts for real estate
Sends staff their shifts, changes and reminders automatically, and handles swap requests. For real estate agencies, it matters most while you're out on showings and negotiating offers. The usual trouble: portal enquiries sit for hours before anyone replies.
Where real estate agencies lose time today
Portal enquiries sit for hours before anyone replies. It sounds small, but for real estate agencies it repeats every week. The shift alert flow takes it over.
What it looks like in practice
Take a three-agent residential brokerage as an example. A shift changes on Wednesday afternoon in Google Sheets. The two people affected get a message straight away. One asks to swap, the manager approves in one tap, and both get the update.
How it works for real estate
For a three-agent residential brokerage, the flow is short and predictable.
- The schedule lives in Google Sheets.
- Staff get their shifts for the week.
- Changes send an instant alert to the people affected.
- Swap requests go to a manager for approval.
- Reminders go out before each shift.
Tools it connects to
You keep working in Google Calendar and Google Sheets. The shift alert flow sits alongside, built with n8n, WhatsApp Business API and Slack.
Questions from real estate agencies
Does the shift alert flow work with Google Calendar?
It depends on your Google Calendar plan. Some tools open their data through an API and some keep it locked, so before we start I check what yours allows. If a direct connection isn't possible, I'll say so and suggest a workaround before you pay anything.
What happens if something breaks?
The shift alert flow sends you an alert when a step fails, so it never fails quietly in the middle of a busy week. You can fix small things with the notes I leave, or add the care plan at $49 a month and I'll handle it.
Can I change how it works later?
Yes. The shift alert flow keeps its messages, timings and rules in settings or a simple sheet you can edit. For bigger changes, such as a new step for your buyers and tenants, message me and I'll quote it first.
