How Weather Integration Works
14-Day Forecast Display
Sergio checks weather forecasts daily for your service area and displays warnings directly on your calendar:
- Rain icon appears on days with 50%+ chance of rain
- Color-coded: Yellow (rain possible), Red (rain likely)
- Click weather icon to see detailed forecast
- Updates automatically every 6 hours
Proactive Reschedule Alerts
When rain is predicted 3+ days in advance:
- You receive email/in-app notification: "Rain forecast for Thursday - 5 jobs at risk"
- Click notification to see affected jobs
- One-click reschedule to next available day in same zone
- System sends automated "we're monitoring weather" email to customers
Setting Up Weather Alerts
Enable Weather Notifications
- Go to Settings → Notifications
- Enable Weather Alerts
- Set minimum rain probability (recommended: 60%+)
- Choose how many days in advance to alert (recommended: 3-5 days)
- Select notification method: Email, SMS (if enabled), or In-App
Configure Your Service Area
- Go to Settings → Company Profile
- Verify your business address is correct
- Weather forecast pulls data for 50km radius around this address
- If you serve multiple cities, weather checks all job locations
Rescheduling Workflow
The Proactive Approach
Recommended Process:
- Sunday Night - Review 14-day forecast for upcoming week
- Monday Morning - Call/email customers for any rainy days 3+ days out
- Script: "Hey [Name], forecast shows rain Thursday. Can we move you to Friday at same time? Saves you waiting around."
- One-Click Reschedule - Drag job in calendar, customer gets automated confirmation
- Result: Zero day-of cancellations, happy customers who appreciate heads-up
Bulk Rescheduling
If rain forecast affects multiple jobs:
- Click the weather alert notification
- See list of all jobs on rainy day
- Select all jobs you want to reschedule
- Click Bulk Reschedule
- Choose new date (system suggests next clear day)
- Confirm - all customers notified automatically
Best Practices
Communication Tips
- Call, don't just email - Phone calls get 90% yes rate vs. 60% for email
- Offer 2-3 alternatives - "I can do Friday or Monday - which works?"
- Frame as customer benefit - "Saves you from taking time off work if we have to cancel"
- Most customers are flexible - 70% will reschedule if you give 3+ days notice
When NOT to Reschedule
Don't reschedule if:
- Forecast shows rain ending before your arrival time
- Light rain only (you can work through drizzle)
- Customer specifically requested that date (event, open house, etc.)
- Forecast confidence is low (below 50%)
