Weather Scheduling
Use weather forecasts to plan outdoor work and reduce cancellations
Weather Scheduling requires STARTER
Upgrade to Starter plan or higher
How It Works
Weather Forecast Display
Sergio displays a 14-day weather forecast directly on your scheduling calendar:
- Weather icons appear on each calendar day
- Hover over icons to see detailed forecasts
- Rain probability, temperature, and wind speed included
- Color-coded warnings for severe weather
Proactive Weather Alerts
Get notified when weather might affect your scheduled jobs:
- System monitors forecasts for upcoming jobs
- You receive alerts 48-72 hours before bad weather
- Review affected jobs in one convenient list
- Reschedule with a few clicks before it is too late
Setup
Enable Weather Notifications
- Go to Settings -> Notifications
- Find the Weather Alerts section
- Toggle on 'Weather Warnings'
- Choose your alert threshold (e.g., 50% rain chance)
- Select notification method (email, push, or both)
Configure Service Area
- Go to Settings -> Service Area
- Enter your primary service location
- Weather data will be fetched for this location
- For larger service areas, weather is checked per job address
Recommended Workflow
Proactive Rescheduling Approach
Recommended Weekly Workflow
- Sunday evening: Review the week ahead and check weather forecast
- Monday morning: Identify any weather risks for the week
- Same day: Call/text affected customers to reschedule
- Reschedule: Move jobs to better weather days when possible
- Result: Customers appreciate proactive communication over last-minute cancellations
Bulk Rescheduling
When bad weather affects multiple jobs:
- Go to your calendar
- Click the weather-affected day
- Select all outdoor jobs
- Click 'Bulk Reschedule'
- Choose a new date with good weather
- Customers are notified automatically
Best Practices
Customer Communication Tips
- Be proactive: Reschedule before bad weather, not during
- Offer alternatives: Suggest 2-3 alternative dates when rescheduling
- Set expectations: Let customers know you monitor weather for their benefit
- Thank them: Express appreciation for their flexibility
When NOT to Reschedule
Not all weather requires rescheduling:
- Light drizzle - often okay for exterior work
- Overcast skies - actually good for window work (no streaks)
- Cold but dry - bundle up and work efficiently
- Light wind - usually manageable with care
ROI of Weather Planning
Without weather scheduling:
- Last-minute cancellations frustrate customers
- Wasted drive time to jobsites
- Poor reviews from no-shows
- Inconsistent revenue
With weather scheduling:
- Proactive rescheduling impresses customers
- Optimized schedules around weather windows
- Better reviews from reliable service
- Consistent, predictable revenue
