Server-side guardrails
Example rules to review and configure for your deployment.
Every garage door deployment runs the Home Services & Construction pack. The panel below illustrates industry rules, custom rules, and intended boundaries. Configured checks target recognized patterns; they can miss context or flag harmless content. Confirm the active rules and test them for your deployment. Example messages are illustrative and must be adapted to your services and escalation workflow.

Hard limits
Intended boundaries for the configured rules. Detection and handoff are not guaranteed.
- Do not give DIY instructions for electrical, gas, structural, or asbestos work
- Configure reminders to use licensed professionals for regulated work
- Do not guarantee a lifetime fix or warranty
Your custom rules
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your business. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
- BLOCKoff-topic requests that aren’t your business
- WARNbefore anyone is quoted a price over chat
- LOGwhen a visitor mentions a competitor by name
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, your region’s privacy and crisis rules, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Know which job to call back first.
With an enabled integration, Fred can send lead scores and conversation summaries to your system. Delivery depends on your configuration and the receiving system.
Garage door questions.
What happens when a spring breaks and the car is stuck inside?
Configured patterns can flag broken-spring or trapped-vehicle inquiries for follow-up. Detection can miss context, and notification does not guarantee a prompt response. Contact your service team directly for urgent help; repair decisions stay with qualified technicians.
Will Fred tell someone how to replace a spring?
No. Garage-door springs are under high tension and dangerous to handle. Fred books the service call rather than walking anyone through spring or cable work.
Will Fred quote a price?
Fred explains how your pricing works and qualifies the job, but it won’t commit to a final number sight-unseen. It books the estimate or service call so your tech prices the real door.
Does it handle new door installs?
Yes. New-door and opener installs, plus commercial overhead doors, are qualified separately and flagged as higher-value leads so they reach the right person quickly.
Answer every garage door call. Stay in your lane.
