Copy this prompt
I'm a plumber running [BUSINESS NAME] with no office staff. Below is a customer text, my price list, and my open times this week. Draft a reply that asks what the problem is, the address, and their preferred time. If it's a standard job on my price list, include the price. Offer two open 2-hour slots from my times. Keep it short and friendly. If the text mentions flooding or a gas smell, skip the draft and tell me in one line to call them now. Show me the draft only. I will send it myself.

Text: [PASTE CUSTOMER TEXT]
Price list: [PASTE PRICES]
Open times: [PASTE TIMES]
