Arrival updates during an emergency
Give the customer a realistic window and record who will update them if the callout changes.
FeedbackPilot for Plumbers
Keep every plumbing follow-up tied to the job that caused it.
See the job, customer feedback and outstanding promise together, whether it is a return visit, invoice, part order or simple explanation.
FeedbackPilot does not send customer messages or post public replies.
Jobs this works for
Leak repair
Boiler service
Bathroom installation
Emergency callout
Use the actual job type so the response makes sense to the person handling the follow-up.
What happens after a job
Make the response specific enough to act on.
Temporary repair or part on order
Make it obvious what was completed today, what remains outstanding and when the customer will hear from you.
Invoice or paperwork not sent
Assign the office follow-up instead of leaving the customer to chase the engineer who completed the visit.
Mess, access or property care
Keep practical concerns attached to the job so they can be resolved promptly and not lost in a general inbox.
Three useful questions
Ask only what the team can use.
A short form is more useful than a long survey when each answer helps somebody decide the next action.
- 01
Was the problem and proposed work explained clearly?
- 02
Were you kept informed about arrival time or any delay?
- 03
Is any repair, paperwork or follow-up still outstanding?
What tends to go wrong
Keep the problem, promise and next step together.
An emergency callout and a planned boiler service create very different expectations.
The repair may be complete while the invoice, paperwork or second visit is still outstanding.
Small communication or clean-up problems can become complaints when nobody owns the follow-up.
A practical post-job workflow
Ask after the job
Share a short hosted form that refers to the service the customer actually received.
See the job beside the response
Keep the customer, service and outstanding promise visible to the person handling it.
Assign the follow-up
Record the owner, next action, update date and evidence needed to close the issue.
Choose the next step
Record reviews, permissions and service improvements. You decide what gets sent or published.
What this looks like
Boiler serviced, but the final invoice never arrived
The office owner sends the invoice, confirms receipt with the customer and records the outcome. Review outreach stays paused because an agreed part of the service is still open, not because of the customer's score.
You contact the customer yourself.

Common questions from plumbers
Answers before you set up the form.
Can one form cover emergency and planned plumbing work?
Yes, as long as the form stays short. Use job context or conditional questions only where the customer experience is genuinely different.
What should happen after feedback about a temporary repair?
Record the remaining work, who owns it and the next update date. Do not close the issue until the agreed action is complete and checked.
Will FeedbackPilot send the review request?
No. It prepares a draft and records the decision. The plumbing business reviews and sends every customer message itself.
