Handling unexpected account locks and customer cancellations can be challenging, especially when it involves servicing properties that exceed your equipment's capabilities. Here’s a detailed guide on how to navigate these issues effectively:
Understanding Account Locks:
Cause of Locks: Accounts typically get locked due to missed appointments or failure to manage the schedule as per GreenPal's reminders via emails and texts.
Resolution Steps:
Check Emails: Look for any communications from GreenPal about how to unlock your account.
Customer Cancellation: Ensure the customer has canceled the service on their end if they no longer require it.
Dealing With Larger Lawns:
Identifying Equipment Limits: Realizing that a lawn is too large for your current setup can occur after accepting a job.
Communicating with the Customer:
Immediate Communication: Inform the customer about the limitation and explain why you cannot service their lawn.
Request Cancellation: Ask the customer to cancel the appointment from their end to prevent penalties on your account.
Steps to Take if Locked Out:
Customer Interaction:
Confirm with the customer that they have cancelled the job on their system.
Accessing Your Account:
Follow recovery instructions provided by GreenPal via email to regain access to your account.
Documenting the Issue:
If necessary, provide evidence of the oversized property to GreenPal support to clarify why the job was beyond your capability.
Uploading Proof of Service:
Photo Requirements:
Ensure photos show freshly mowed grass with minimal obstructions (avoid too much concrete, cars, etc.).
Take multiple photos from different angles if the first submission is rejected.
Troubleshooting Upload Issues:
If uploads fail, retry after ensuring the image meets GreenPal’s criteria.
If persistent issues occur, take screenshots of the error messages or issues and contact GreenPal support for further assistance.

If after following these steps your issues persist, or if the client has not cancelled the service causing your account to remain locked, it may be necessary to contact GreenPal support directly. Provide them with all pertinent information and any correspondence or evidence related to the service issue and account lock for a more swift resolution.
Navigating these challenges effectively requires prompt action and clear communication, both with the customer and GreenPal support, to minimize disruptions to your service delivery and maintain your account standing.
