Overview

Smart Reminders help general contractors stay on top of follow-ups and deadlines by sending automatic notifications for key activities.

These reminders are designed to:

  • Nudge clients to review and sign quotes

  • Alert you and your team when tasks or milestones are overdue

  • Reduce manual chasing and missed follow-ups

All reminders are optional, fully configurable, and turned off by default.


Types of Smart Reminders

Eano Pro supports two categories of reminders:

  • Client notifications (sent to clients, controlled by the GC)

  • Internal notifications (sent to you and your team)

Each category is configured in a different place.


Client Quote Reminders

(Settings → Notifications)

Client reminders are notifications sent to your clients when a quote has been sent but not signed.

These reminders help prompt prospects to review a quote sooner, so you can:

  • Address questions faster

  • Resolve objections

  • Close the deal more efficiently

Available Client Reminder Options

You can enable one or more of the following reminder types:

24-hour reminder

  • Sends an email and/or SMS

  • Triggered 24 hours after a quote is sent

  • Only sent if the quote is still unsigned

48-hour reminder

  • Sends an email and/or SMS

  • Triggered 48 hours after a quote is sent

  • Only sent if the quote is still unsigned

Custom reminder

  • Choose one timing option:

    • 3 days

    • 7 days (default)

    • 2 weeks

    • 1 month

  • Sends an email and/or SMS after the selected duration

  • Only sent if the quote is still unsigned

All client reminders are off by default and must be enabled by the GC.


Internal Overdue Task Reminders

(My Account → Account Notifications)

Internal task reminders notify you and your internal team when tasks become overdue.

These reminders help ensure day-to-day work doesn’t stall when projects get busy.

Available Task Reminder Options

Choose one reminder timing:

  • 24 hours

  • 48 hours (default)

  • 7 days

  • 2 weeks

The reminder is triggered once a task passes its due date.


Internal Overdue Milestone Reminders

(My Account → Account Notifications)

Milestone reminders notify your internal team when project milestones fall behind schedule.

How Milestone Reminders Work

  • Based on the projected completion date

  • If no projected completion date is set, no reminder is sent

  • All team members added to the project will receive the reminder if they have the notification enabled

Available Milestone Reminder Options

Choose one reminder timing:

  • 24 hours

  • 48 hours (default)

  • 7 days

  • 2 weeks


How to Enable Smart Reminders

  1. Open Settings or My Account (depending on reminder type)

  2. Go to Notifications

  3. Enable the reminders you want

  4. Choose delivery method (email and/or SMS where applicable)

  5. Select reminder timing

  6. Save your changes


Summary

Smart Reminders help you:

  • Prompt clients to act on quotes

  • Catch overdue tasks before they compound

  • Keep projects moving without micromanagement

You decide what gets turned on — Eano Pro handles the timing.
