A mid-sized roofing company slashed warranty claim resolution times in half and boosted 5-star reviews by automating claim intake and customer follow-up using Zapier and ChatGPT. The result: faster service, happier customers, and no extra hires.

By connecting their CRM to email and ChatGPT through Zapier, the company automated warranty claim management and proactive customer updates. This streamlined document collection, reduced manual work, and improved customer satisfaction—all with workflow automation from Flow Genius.

The Challenge

Warranty claims were overwhelming the team. Each claim required manual intake, document collection, and repeated follow-ups with customers. Delays led to frustrated clients and lost referrals. According to McKinsey (2024), 60% of service businesses cite manual processes as their top efficiency barrier. The company needed a way to handle more claims, faster, without hiring more staff.

The Solution

Flow Genius implemented a workflow automation solution using Zapier to connect the company’s CRM, email platform, and ChatGPT. This allowed warranty claims to be automatically captured, assigned, and followed up on—freeing up staff for higher-value tasks. AI integration with ChatGPT enabled personalized, timely customer communications at every step.

Implementation Steps

1. Integrated the CRM with Zapier to trigger automations when a new warranty claim was logged. 2. Set up Zapier to automatically send claim intake emails to customers, requesting required documents and information. 3. Used ChatGPT via Zapier to draft and send personalized follow-up emails, answering common customer questions and providing status updates. 4. Automated document uploads from email directly into the CRM, reducing manual data entry. 5. Scheduled proactive customer updates at key milestones (claim received, under review, approved, completed) through ChatGPT-powered emails. 6. Monitored claim progress in real time, alerting staff only when human intervention was needed.

Results

Claim resolution time dropped by 50%, from an average of 10 days to just 5 days. Customer satisfaction scores rose by 30%, and the company saw a 40% increase in 5-star Google reviews within three months. Manual email volume decreased by 70%, saving the equivalent of one full-time employee’s workload. According to Salesforce (2023), companies using AI-driven automation report 35% higher customer retention.
