How Self-Check-In in BytePhase Works

Self-check-in in BytePhase lets customers submit a repair request on their own, without you picking up the phone or typing at the counter. Here is exactly how the feature works, step by step.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up and Using Self-Check-In

Get Your Self-Check-In Link

  • BytePhase sends you a self-check-in link automatically after you sign up.
  • You can also find the same link on your login page, as shown below.

What Customers See When They Self-Check-In

  • Clicking the self-check-in link opens a short form for the customer to fill out.
  • Customers can use this link to submit a repair request on their own, any time.
  • You can also add the link to your own website or customer portal so it is easy to find.

Once a customer submits the form, their request is added to BytePhase automatically — no manual entry needed on your end.

Where Self-Check-In Requests Land in Your CRM

  • Log in to your BytePhase portal and open the Contact Us tab on the sidebar (Login > Contact Us).

Converting a Request into a Job

  • Every request submitted through an open link or self-check-in shows up here.
  • For each request, you can:
    • Change its status
    • Convert it to a customer
  • New requests default to an open status, which you can change at any time.
  • If the customer already exists in your data, clicking Convert To Customer confirms the match and creates a job directly, as shown below.

  • If the customer is new, BytePhase asks you to create a customer record, then redirects you to the Create Job page.

  • The request details are pre-filled on that job. Add any remaining details, then call or email the customer to confirm.
  • Once the customer is added, they can create their own account and track their job’s progress from the customer portal.

That is the whole flow: a customer submits a self-check-in form, and it becomes a normal part of your repair ticket management — you just review it and convert it into a job.

Want to try self-check-in in your own shop? BytePhase includes a 15-day free trial, no credit card required, so you can test the feature with your own customers before committing.
