StormForward
First to your customers. Every forecast, every storm.
Storm and weather triggers for roofing and HVAC customers and leads. StormForward watches the weather around every contact in your HighLevel account. When hail is confirmed near a home, or a freeze, heat wave or winter storm is on the way, it starts your workflows for exactly those people, with the storm details ready for your messages.
183 past customers were within 1 mile of 1 inch or larger hail in the last 12 months. If 5 to 15% needed work at your average job of $11,800, that's roughly $108,000 to $324,000 in possible jobs.
Example data. The estimate is always shown as a range, and we never say a home was damaged.
Three steps, then it runs on its own
1. Bring in your customers
Most past customers live in your accounting or job software. Connect QuickBooks, JobNimbus, CompanyCam or AccuLynx, or upload a CSV. StormForward skips anyone already in HighLevel and maps every address.
2. We watch every forecast and storm
National Weather Service alerts every five minutes, NOAA storm reports and radar hail every day, and FEMA declarations, all matched against each contact's address, your service area and your minimum hail size.
3. Your workflows reach out first
Matching contacts start your HighLevel workflows through a StormForward trigger, a tag and storm fields you can drop into texts and emails. Your sending rules, your voice, your timing.
A heads up before the weather, a check in after the storm
You choose the timing for each kind of weather.
Heads up, before it hits
Freeze, heat, winter storms and smoke can go out as soon as the weather service issues the alert, or from the watch 1 to 3 days ahead. If a warning follows the watch, each customer still gets one message.
"A hard freeze is expected tonight. Here's how to protect your pipes, and we're one call away."
After the storm, only where it hit
Hail and wind go out once storm reports or radar confirm them near the home, usually the next morning, so you don't message customers whose roofs are fine. Tornadoes and FEMA declarations follow the same idea.
"Hail of 1.5 to 2 inches was reported near your home on Tuesday. Want a free roof check?"
Built for contractors and the agencies that run their HighLevel
Your hail history on day one
The moment it's installed, StormForward checks 12 months of radar hail against every address and shows how many past customers and leads were nearby, with an honest estimate range of the work it may have created.
See what it's worth
A value report counts inspections booked and jobs won after storm alerts, from HighLevel, JobNimbus or QuickBooks, plus a monthly summary agencies can forward under their own name.
Texts only with consent
Contacts without text consent, or with do not disturb on, are flagged so your workflow uses email or a call task instead.
No surprise bills
Monthly and per storm caps, an approval step for big storms, quiet hours, and a cooldown so nobody hears from you twice about the same weather.
Test before the real thing
Send a test storm to one contact and see exactly which workflows received it. Tests are never billed and never counted.

Questions
Who is StormForward for?
Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, restoration and other home service contractors who use HighLevel, and the agencies that run HighLevel for them. It works in every US state.
Does StormForward send the texts and emails?
No. It starts your own HighLevel workflows, so your messages, sending rules, do not disturb settings and quiet hours all apply. Each contact also gets a tag and storm fields (event type, date, hail size and a short summary) you can use in any workflow.
Will it message customers whose homes weren't affected?
By default, hail and wind only go out once storm reports or radar confirm them within your chosen distance of the home, at or above your minimum hail size. Warnings drawn over a whole area are not enough on their own. Messages never claim a home was damaged; FEMA declarations are worded as declared in your county.
Where does the weather data come from?
The National Weather Service (alerts, watches and warnings), NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (hail and wind reports), NOAA radar hail data, and FEMA disaster declarations.
Can I choose a heads up or an after the storm message?
Yes, per weather type. Freeze, heat and winter can use the earliest heads up (the watch, 1 to 3 days ahead), a heads up when the warning is issued, or a message after it ends. Hail, wind and tornado always go out after the storm.
What if my past customers aren't in HighLevel?
Connect QuickBooks, JobNimbus, CompanyCam or AccuLynx, or upload a CSV from Leap, Roofr or any other system. StormForward skips contacts you already have and syncs connected sources daily. It never marks anyone as agreeing to texts based on another system's data.
