Google Calendar + ReviewWheel

How it works

A Google Calendar event reaches its end time

Plenty of service operators still run their whole scheduling life out of Google Calendar — and there’s no good reason to force them onto an FSM just to get review automation working. ReviewWheel watches the calendars you authorize and triggers off the event end time, with a small buffer so we never fire while an appointment is running over.

ReviewWheel pulls attendee data from the calendar event

Attendee name, email, event title, and the event end time flow into the request queue. The event title is what gets used to personalize the message — if you name your calendar events well (“HVAC inspection — Smith residence”), the review request can reference the specific work; if your titles are generic (“3pm appointment”), the message falls back to a generic but still personalized ask. We’ll walk through naming conventions on the setup call.

A request lands shortly after the appointment ends

Branded SMS or email goes out about 30 minutes past the calendar event end time. Attendee’s name, your logo, one-tap path to Google. For solo operators and very small crews who haven’t moved off Google Calendar yet — the home inspector with one assistant, the mobile groomer who books straight from their phone, the side-hustle handyman building toward full-time — this is the lightest-weight review automation path possible. No FSM to subscribe to, no integration to maintain, just the calendar you’re already using doing one extra job.
