Triggers on cancellationScans open capacityRecommends backfills [Deploy this agent](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)[Browse all agents →](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-agents/) A real template from the FieldCamp marketplace, configured on your operation. Setup included in your plan. ## About this agent Where it came from Ships in the FieldCamp agent marketplace — because a cancellation costs the slot plus the scramble, and the scramble is optional. A cancellation is two losses pretending to be one: the revenue that left, and the dispatcher's next twenty minutes hunting for something to put in the hole — while the hole's value decays by the minute. Most holes never get filled; the truck just drives a lighter day. The gap filler starts hunting the second the slot opens. It knows what's waitlisted, which bookings are flexible, what's nearby the freed window, and what actually fits — duration, territory, skills. The dispatcher gets a ranked shortlist with reasoning instead of a blank calendar block and a sinking feeling. ## What it actually does Trigger: Visit cancelled / rescheduled 1. 1 Catches the opening`visit_cancelled` Fires on cancellations and reschedules — the moment the hole exists. 2. 2 Measures the gap`scan_capacity` The freed window, the territory, the tech's skills — what kind of work actually fits. 3. 3 Hunts the candidates`find_candidates` Waitlist, flexible bookings, and nearby scheduled work that could move up. 4. 4 Ranks the shortlist`rank_recommendations` Fit, drive time, and value — with the reasoning, for a one-look dispatcher decision. What you get Cancellations met with a ranked backfill shortlist in minutes — recovered slots instead of lighter days. ## A run, as you’d see it Agent runs land on a timeline — what fired, what the agent found, and the action waiting for a human. This is that screen. Visit cancelled Today 1–3 PM · Marcus · Northside 89% confidencePending Details Candidates 3 found — best fit 0.8 mi away Summary Today's 1–3 PM slot freed in Northside.

DismissReview fillsRun log keeps every step Recommends only — moving work is your dispatcher's one-tap call. Customers are never contacted by this template. ## By trade Same agent, configured to how your vertical actually works. [Cleaning](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/cleaning-business/) Recurring-flexible clients form a natural standby pool the agent draws from. [Appliance repair](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/appliance-repair/) Parts-on-truck jobs rank first — the part shouldn't ride around another week. ## Questions, answered ### Does it contact customers to offer the earlier slot? Not this template — it recommends to your dispatcher, who confirms with the customer through your normal flow. Outreach automation can be layered on behind approval gates if you want it. ### What makes a job a good backfill candidate? Fits the window, near the route, matches the tech's skills, and is flagged flexible or waitlisted. The ranking weighs all four and shows its math. ### How fast does the recommendation arrive? Within a minute or two of the cancellation — while rebooking the slot is still realistic for today.
