Permit Application Status Notification
A done-for-you public sector automation built for the Permit Technician, connecting Twilio so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
As a resident's or business's permit application moves through review stages, this automation automatically sends status update notifications by email or text at each stage change.
The volume of \"what's the status of my permit\" calls to the department drops sharply because applicants already know before they think to call.
- A permitting software system (Accela or CityView)
- Twilio or email
- Zapier or Make.com
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
The manual approach means a permit technician handles each case reactively, after someone has already noticed something went wrong. None of it is difficult, it's just slow, repetitive, and easy to fall behind on.
With this automation
- Status updates triggered by real milestones in your systems
- Support requests routed to the right owner with full context
- Escalations when a response deadline is about to slip
- Fewer inbound status calls for your front desk
