Best Jobber Automations
I just wanted to get a post going for these. They can be super powerful in your business and I feel like they don't get talked about enough sometimes. What are your best Jobber automations you have set up?? I really enjoy dashboards myself that give more custom information about my business. I like to use Airtable / Asana / Zapier. Cheers !Jobber AI Receptionist
Who else is using Jobber's AI Receptionist for overflow and after-hours support? We recently implemented it, and while it's not flawless yet, we're finding it to be a game changer compared to traditional voicemail. It's handling calls more efficiently and providing a smoother experience for both our team and clients. I’d love to hear how others are utilizing this feature, what has worked well for you, and what challenges have you encountered? Any tips?
Jobber AI's confusion with businesses
I switched my AI receptionist service from Goodcall to Jobber's AI. One thing I noticed is that when a business calls in, it asks for the customers name only. When a business name gets involved, it will either use the business name as the customers last name or not take note of the company name at all. This leads to some big-time confusion. Is there a fix for this or has anyone else experienced this?
Best way to handle inbound calls to company line?
Curious yalls thoughts. Looking to not just grow, looking to scale and improve / continue to implement systems. Currently have myself, 1 outside sales rep, and field labor crew (fence install company) current process: customer calls into company # (my cell phone). I try to answer as if it were an office line to answer asap. From that, I confirm I can Text them, I then send a request form via jobber that has basic info / few questions to answer. If / when they fill it out, I add to the schedule for a confirmed day / time to quote on site. etc…… I feel this part is a lot of back and forth, and until I have an in house admin office worker that can answer these calls the first ring - I won’t be able to truly grow / stay efficient. (If I’m tied up, I don’t like calling them back 2 hours later, etc) but also - I love having them fill out the form bc the way I have questions on it, it turns it from a warm lead, to a warmer lead. Any way to streamline this, get more efficient, improve this current process? ANY thoughts or advice - real thankful.
Email Templates
It would be hugely beneficial if Jobber had the ability to create different email templates that could be selected when sending, quotes, invoices and emailing clients. Sometimes depending on the quote we need a different opening email when sending and currently have to delete the template message and write or copy and paste a different one. Seems like a basic function that our previous CRM had but would reduce admin massively and add huge benefit when sending communication to clients. We had around 3-4 template emails for quotes, invoices and generic and all we had to do on our previous CRM was select the template from a dropdownChatGPT with Jobber
Anyone doing anything cool with this ? I'm thinking it could be used for estimating... any other neat things people are doing. Right now all I'm doing is putting some invoices from the wholesaler in chatgpt and asking it to remove the pricing and put it in a point form list for me which it's doing great. I'll also take the notes from the guys in the field and get chat gpt to make it into a nice professional point form list as well. One other thing I've done is take a CSV file report from jobber and put it into chatgpt and get it to analyze the data. Thanks !
What's Your Thoughts On This New, Unbelievable Ai Software?
As someone who runs a handyman business remotely from Vietnam, I’m always looking for ways to save time and make things more efficient—especially around quoting. Quoting small jobs used to be a major drain. Driving out just to quote something like “can you fix a door” would often result in no-shows, delays, or jobs that weren’t even worth taking. So I built an AI-powered tool that now handles this automatically. Here’s how it works: A customer fills out a short form online The AI analyzes the job description Based on that, it either: Sends a WhatsApp message asking for a video Gives an instant rough quote Or recommends a full in-person visit and books it It’s been a game-changer for our workflow. No more guessing. No more wasted time. No more back-and-forth on simple jobs. I’d love to get your thoughts on it — especially if you run a service-based business. Here’s the link to try it out or give feedback: Handy Services App What do you think? Could this save you time too?
