Copy this prompt
Write a set of short text messages for my HVAC company, [COMPANY NAME], that my office can send by hand. I need: 1) Tech is about 30 minutes away, with the tech's name [TECH NAME] and a note on what to expect. 2) Tech is running late by [MINUTES]. 3) Tech has arrived. 4) Job is done, thank you, with our review link [REVIEW LINK]. Keep each text under 160 characters, friendly, and signed [COMPANY NAME]. Then give me a simple checklist my dispatcher can follow each day so every customer gets the 30-minute text.
