Staying on top of your schedule as a GreenPal vendor can sometimes bring unexpected challenges, especially when clients cancel their service without notification.

It’s important to know how to manage these situations to maintain a smooth operation and ensure you're not heading to a job that’s already been canceled.

Let’s explore what you can do to minimize disruptions and keep your schedule in check.

Stay Proactive with Client Communications

It’s crucial to establish clear communication with your clients. Regular check-ins can help confirm services and prevent any surprises. If possible, touch base with your client a day before the service to confirm their appointment. This simple step can save you both time and hassle.

Checking Notifications

Make sure to regularly check your notifications on the GreenPal app. If you’re not receiving notifications as expected, here are a few steps you can take:

  1. Check Your Email Settings: Sometimes, email notifications can get directed to your spam folder or blocked by your email provider. Make sure that emails from GreenPal are not marked as spam.

  2. Verify Your Email Address: If there’s an issue with your email, log into your GreenPal account and reconfirm your email settings.

  3. Look for SMS Alerts: Along with email notifications, your GreenPal account sends SMS alerts for cancellations. Ensure your phone number is correct in your profile and that SMS notifications are enabled.

Use Technology to Your Advantage

Utilizing the features within the GreenPal app can help you manage your appointments more effectively. Make sure the app is updated to the latest version to benefit from all available features, including real-time updates.

If a Cancellation Happens

If you find yourself at a client’s property and discover the service has been canceled, here’s what to do:

  • Document Your Visit: Take a timestamped photo showing you were at the location. This can be helpful if there are any disputes with your customer.
