< Processing Job Requests < Emailing a Job Request
When clients request services online, Pet Sitter Plus sends a "Job Request Email Confirmation" automatically at the time the client makes the request.
Prior to scheduling and confirming any requests, you have the ability to do the following:
-
request another confirmation from the the client if they make changes to the original request prior to it being scheduled;
-
request more information from the client about the job request, such as what time the pick-up is;
-
decline a job request prior to it being scheduled if the sitter is not available or you simply do not want to offer the services requested;
-
ask one or more sitters if they are available to accept the request;
-
remind the sitter to confirm their availability before you accept the request.
Note: You can "BCC" the sitter on any of these emails. Pet Sitter Plus automatically sends a copy of these emails to your admin email address.
This additional functionality ensures that there are no misunderstandings regarding online orders, that they are correct and the services requested able to be provided, all prior to scheduling and confirming.
