Platform Setup Steps

Trigger

The current HVAC installation proposal is accepted, the deposit requirement is approved, and no successful or disputed payment exists.

Segment

Customers with an accepted current installation proposal and a verified unpaid deposit requirement.

Delay

Immediate after proposal acceptance and billing reconciliation.

Reply owner: HVAC installation coordinator with access to proposal, deposit, equipment, permit, and scheduling records.

  1. Verify proposal version, system, address, amount, due date, and payment status.
  2. Send the secure payment path and activation explanation.
  3. On settlement, stop reminders and create the correct equipment, permit, and scheduling tasks.

Stop conditions

  • Stop on successful payment, dispute, corrected amount, proposal revision, cancellation, or active billing conversation.
  • Suppress when the payment link, proposal version, or customer authority is uncertain.
  • Do not send after the deposit obligation is waived or replaced.

Before You Send

Note: there are laws and regulations around this. Please make sure you follow any applicable rules before sending.

Subject Line Variations

  • Deposit for HVAC proposal {{proposal_number}}

    References the authoritative record or decision.

  • HVAC Installation Deposit Request: action for {{reference_number}}

    A clarity-first operational alternative.

  • Update from {{company_name}} about {{reference_number}}

    Use only when the recipient recognizes the business and reference.

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Calling the installation scheduled when only the proposal is accepted

    Crew, equipment, permits, and payment may still be unresolved.

    Use instead: State the specific downstream steps activated by settled payment.

  • Sending against a superseded proposal

    The deposit may no longer match the approved scope.

    Use instead: Reconcile the current version immediately before send.

Sequence Placement

Use after accepted proposal and before equipment allocation or installation scheduling. Payment success exits collection and creates the governed activation tasks.
