What This Is

The Ferbz automation module is designed to help Indian salon owners streamline their rebooking reminders, increasing client retention and reducing manual workload. This capability is built on top of the Ferbz platform, which replaces separate billing, inventory, CRM, and WhatsApp-marketing tools with one dashboard. For salons, Ferbz provides a dedicated module called "Automation" that allows owners to describe a goal in plain English, such as "win back clients who haven't booked in 30 days," and Ferbz's AI drafts a full multi-step WhatsApp journey using the business's own templates. This journey can be edited on a visual canvas and triggered by specific events, including days until due, days since last booking, days since signup, or the instant a booking completes. The Automation module is tightly integrated with the "Appointments" and "Clients" modules, ensuring that every client's history, contact details, and reminder history are up-to-date and easily accessible.

In the context of salon rebooking reminders, the Automation module enables owners to set up custom workflows that automatically send reminders to clients based on their booking history and preferences. For example, a salon can create a workflow that sends a reminder to clients 7 days before their next scheduled appointment, or another workflow that sends a win-back message to clients who haven't booked in 30 days. These workflows can be tailored to the salon's specific needs and branding, using the business's own templates and messaging style.

The Automation module also provides a range of triggers and conditions that can be used to customize the workflows. For example, a salon can set up a trigger that sends a reminder to clients who have booked a specific service, such as a haircut or color treatment. Alternatively, a salon can set up a condition that sends a reminder to clients who have a specific package or membership, such as a loyalty program or a premium membership.

How Salons Owners Use It

To use the Automation module for salon rebooking reminders, owners start by navigating to the "Automation" tab within the Ferbz dashboard. From here, they can click on the "Create a new automation" button to set up a new workflow. The first step is to define the goal of the automation, such as "win back clients who haven't booked in 30 days." Ferbz's AI will then suggest a multi-step WhatsApp journey based on this goal, using the salon's own templates and messaging style.

For example, let's say we're working with a salon called "StyleHub" that wants to set up an automation to win back clients who haven't booked in 30 days. The owner, Rohan, navigates to the "Automation" tab and clicks on "Create a new automation." He then defines the goal as "win back clients who haven't booked in 30 days" and selects the trigger as "days since last booking." Ferbz's AI suggests a workflow that sends a reminder to clients 30 days after their last booking, with a personalized message that includes the client's name and a special offer to encourage them to book again.

Rohan can then edit this workflow on the visual canvas, customizing the messaging and timing to fit StyleHub's brand and style. He can also add additional steps to the workflow, such as sending a follow-up reminder 7 days after the initial message, or sending a win-back offer to clients who haven't responded to the initial message.

Once the workflow is set up, Rohan can test it by sending a sample message to himself or a team member. He can then review the sent/delivered/read stats on the Reminders board to ensure that the messages are being delivered successfully. From here, he can refine the workflow as needed, making adjustments to the messaging, timing, and targeting to optimize the results.
