Workflow Template
Battery commissioning and handover Workflow
Captures a battery commissioning test form, routes failed tests to installer rectification (with retest loop), then progresses through Commissioned and Handed Over statuses, sending the customer a handover summary email and a follow-up feedback request.
Picture your installer wrapping up a battery install, testing it on-site, and then juggling paperwork, follow-up calls and handover emails on top of the next job. This workflow captures the commissioning test form, automatically routes any failed test to a rectification task with a built-in retest loop, then moves the record through Commissioned and Handed Over statuses before emailing the customer a handover summary and a feedback request a couple of days later. Your team gets a clear record of every test, fix and handover step, without chasing details across texts and inboxes.
Business Outcomes
- Reduces manual chasing between commissioning failures and installer rectification
- Makes it easier to track every test result, fix and retest against a single record
- Speeds up customer handover with automatic status updates and summary emails
- Supports more consistent handover documentation across installers and jobs
- Helps surface customer satisfaction trends through automated feedback requests
Workflow Steps
Steps
- 1Create Commissioning Recordcreate record
Registers the submitted commissioning form as a new battery commissioning record.
- 2Set Status: Commissioningupdate record
Sets the record status to Commissioning after the test form is submitted.
- 3Route on Commissioning Result
Branches based on whether the overall commissioning result is Pass or Fail.
result: "Pass"→Set Status: Commissionedresult: "Fail"→Set Status: RectificationDefault→Set Status: Rectification - 4Set Status: Rectificationupdate record
Sets the record status to Rectification when the commissioning test result is a Fail.
- 5Rectification Taskcreate task
Assigns the solar installer a task due in 2 days to record the fault, the fix and the retest result.
- 6Save Rectification Resultupdate record
Persists the fault, fix and retest result captured by the installer to the record.
- 7Route on Retest Result
Branches based on whether the retest passed or failed after rectification.
retest_result: "Pass"→Set Status: Commissionedretest_result: "Fail"→Loop Back to RectificationDefault→Loop Back to Rectification - 8Loop Back to Rectificationrestart from step
Restarts the rectification cycle if the retest still fails, up to 2 additional attempts.
- 9Set Status: Commissionedupdate record
Sets the record status to Commissioned once the system passes (initially or after rectification).
- 10Customer Handover Taskcreate task
Assigns the solar installer a task due in 1 day to hand the system over to the customer and record the handover details.
- 11Save Handover Detailsupdate record
Persists the handover confirmation details and warranty period captured by the installer to the record.
- 12Set Status: Handed Overupdate record
Sets the record status to Handed Over once the customer handover is complete.
- 13Email Handover Summarysend email
Emails the customer a summary of the battery details, backup circuits, app settings, shutdown procedure and warranty period.
- 14Wait 2 Days
Waits two days after handover before requesting customer feedback.
- 15Request Customer Feedbackrequest external input
Emails the customer a short feedback form with a 1-5 rating and comments.

FAQs
Do I need technical skills to set up this workflow?
No. The template is ready to use, so your workspace can publish it and start running the live commissioning process straight away without any installation or development work. If you want to tweak wording or steps later, you can describe the change in plain English or edit it directly in the workflow editor.
Can my team customise the commissioning form or the tasks?
Yes, the form fields, task instructions and email content can all be adjusted to match how your business runs commissioning and handover. Changes can be made by describing what you want changed in plain English or by editing the steps directly, and earlier versions of the workflow are kept.
What happens if a battery fails its commissioning test?
When the Result is Fail, the record status is set to Rectification and a task is assigned to the solar installer, due in 2 days, to record the fault, the fix applied and the retest result. That retest result then routes the record either forward to Commissioned or back through another rectification cycle.
How many times can a rectification retest loop before something else happens?
If the retest still fails, the workflow loops back to the rectification task for up to 2 additional attempts. This keeps the fault-fix-retest cycle contained on the same record until the system passes, with each attempt visible in the record's timeline.
Who is responsible for the handover to the customer?
Once the system is marked Commissioned, the solar installer is assigned a Customer Handover Task due in 1 day. This task records whether the customer was shown the backup circuits, app settings and safe shutdown procedure, plus the warranty period, and the workflow waits for it to be completed before moving on.
Does the customer need to log into anything to receive updates?
No, customers take part through emailed forms and never need an account. They receive a handover summary email once the record status is set to Handed Over, and a short feedback form by email 2 days later.
What does the customer feedback request actually ask for?
It's a short emailed form asking for an overall satisfaction rating from 1 to 5 and an open comments field for any suggestions. This is sent automatically 2 days after the handover email, giving the customer time to use the system first.
Where can my team see the status of each battery job?
Each commissioning request is a record with a reference number, a status such as Commissioning, Rectification, Commissioned or Handed Over, and a timeline showing what happened and when. Table views and dashboards let your team see all records grouped by status at a glance.
Is this workflow suitable for multiple installers working across different jobs?
Yes, tasks and approvals are assigned to specific team members, so each rectification and handover task goes to the right solar installer for that job. Workspace admins and members can track progress across all active commissioning records from one place.
