Written by Javier Diaz

Connect plan members can sign up for your free membership on their own using SmartAC's Easy Enroll feature. This allows homeowners to join your Connect plan through a link or QR code you share, without requiring a technician visit.

Before You Start

To enable member self-onboarding, you need:

  • A free Connect membership plan set up in the SmartAC Dashboard

  • Access to the Marketing section of your dashboard and select EasyEnroll

Setting Up Your Easy Enroll Campaign

Step 1: Create a New Campaign

  1. Log in to your SmartAC Dashboard at noc.smartac.com

  2. Navigate to Marketing in the main menu

  3. Select Easy Enroll

  4. Click New Campaign

Step 2: Configure Your Campaign

  1. Select Link as your campaign type

  2. On the right side panel, enter the details for your plan:

    • Campaign name

    • Connect plan selection

    • Campaign message (optional)

  3. Review your settings

Step 3: Get Your QR Code and Link

Once you've configured your campaign, SmartAC will generate:

  • A unique link that homeowners can click

  • A QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone

You can use these wherever you'd like:

  • Text messages or emails

  • Physical marketing materials

  • Social media posts

  • On-site signage

  • Business cards or flyers

What Homeowners Experience

Once a homeowner clicks your link or scans your QR code, here's what happens:

1. Landing Page

Homeowners land on a welcome page featuring:

  • Your company logo

  • An overview of your Connect plan

  • Benefits and features

2. Create Account Credentials

Homeowners create their SmartAC account by entering:

  • Email address

  • Username

  • Password

3. Download the SmartAC App

After creating their credentials, homeowners are redirected to download the SmartAC Homeowner App from their app store.

4. Sign In and Complete Profile

Once the app is downloaded, homeowners:

  1. Sign in with the credentials they just created

  2. Complete their profile by adding:

    • Phone number

    • First name

    • Last name

    • Home address

.

5. They're All Set!

After completing these steps, the homeowner is enrolled in your Connect plan and can immediately:

  • Start earning Comfort Credits

  • Connect with your company through the app

  • Access their membership benefits


Optional: Additional Onboarding Steps

Homeowners can choose to complete additional setup steps, but these are not required to start their membership:

  • Add thermostat - Connect their smart thermostat for enhanced insights

  • Add filter details - Track air filter replacement schedules

  • Input HVAC information - Add equipment details for better service tracking

These optional steps enhance the member experience but don't prevent them from accessing core Connect plan benefits like Comfort Credits and communication with your team.
