Build a holiday on-call schedule and customer notice with AI
Plan who covers emergency calls over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, and get a notice for customers and a text for the crew.
Estimated: 1–2 hours of back-and-forth scheduling and fewer missed emergency calls. (Estimate; results vary.)

The problem
Holiday weeks are when the furnace dies or a pipe bursts. Without a plan, the owner ends up taking every call, techs argue about who's on, and customers can't tell if you're open.
Step by step
- 1List your closed days, who asked for time off, and who is qualified to run emergency calls.
- 2Paste that into the prompt below to get a fair on-call rotation.
- 3Check the schedule against your pay and overtime rules before you post it.
- 4Post the customer notice on your website, Google profile and voicemail.
- 5Text the schedule to the crew and confirm everyone has the after-hours phone forwarding set up.
Copy-paste prompt
Help me plan holiday on-call coverage for my [trade] company. Closed days: [dates]. Crew: [first names, who can run emergency calls, time-off requests]. Emergency rate or rules: [e.g., after-hours fee]. Give me: (1) an on-call rotation that spreads the holidays fairly and honors time off where possible; (2) a short customer notice for my website, Google profile and voicemail with hours and how to reach us for emergencies; (3) a text to the crew with the schedule and what to do when a call comes in. Mark anything about pay or overtime as [CHECK PAY RULES].
