# Home Services Workflow

> Permit-to-postcard outreach for roofing, solar, windows, landscaping, painting, HVAC, and other local trades.

## Best fit

Use this workflow when a trade business is scraping permit data, parcel data, or homeowner signals and wants software to decide when to mail something physical.

## Typical flow

1. A permit filing or property signal appears.
2. The system filters by service area, project type, and fit.
3. An agent personalizes the piece with neighborhood language and a render or project mockup in the likeness of the homeowner's actual property.
4. mailbox.bot prints and mails the postcard or letter.
5. Delivery proof, replies, and future inbound scans route back into lead follow-up.

## Why this is better than generic direct mail

- The trigger is live data, not a stale quarterly list.
- The creative can reflect the exact home or project type instead of a generic template.
- Follow-up stays tied to the same workflow after the physical send.
