Business Phone Number - Who's Should You Use and How Should You Use it?
When it comes to phone numbers, I treat the Jobber phone number as an “automation line,” not my primary business number. I use it for all the built-in Jobber automations—invoice/receipt texts, appointment reminders, “on my way” notifications, and anything else Jobber sends out automatically. It’s great for consistent system messaging and keeping those operational texts separate from my real day-to-day communication. The reason I don’t use the Jobber number as my main public-facing number (website, trucks, yard signs, etc.) is ownership and portability. The Jobber number can’t be ported out, so if you ever switch systems or change your setup, you don’t truly “own” that number long-term. I’ve made the mistake of putting a non-portable number on marketing before, and it’s a headache when you realize it can’t follow you. Instead, I recommend your primary business number be something you control and can port—either from a carrier, Google Voice (depending on your needs), or another platform where portability is confirmed. Then use tools like Chiirp (and I haven’t personally explored GoHighLevel/Hatch deeply, but they’re in the same category) for your primary communication + higher-level automation, because those platforms typically offer much more robust automation like out-of-office replies, drip campaigns, and automated texting workflows. So my personal setup philosophy is: Jobber number = system/operations messaging only; your “real” business number = portable, owned by you, and used everywhere customer-facing. Then if you need advanced automations like out-of-office replies, I’d build those in a dedicated communication/marketing platform that’s designed for it—not inside the Jobber number.Go High Level Vs Chiirp
Hey Guys! Anyone have an opinion on these two programs vs each other? I feel like chiirp is kind of over priced and hard to use. I've been hearing good things about High level. Anyone have an opinion on it? Or even better, has anyone used both and have an opinion on the matter?Stop wasting time doing job site visits
I just did a demo with Live Switch and if you are spending a lot of windshield time knocking out quotes I HIGHLY suggest you look in to it. I'm not a sales person or anything for them but I feel like I just spend $1200 bucks for the year to save me at least 80 hours of time of the course of a year, probably a lot more. They have an AI integration that'll summarize the video calls also.
Quick Books - Book Keeping & Jobber
Our book keeper has a lot of trouble with reconciling Jobber transactions via Quickbooks. Does anyone know of a good book keeper who is familar with how Jobber and Quick books intergrate and may be able to take this on? Is anyone elses book keeper having difficulty with this?How Are You Doing Service Agreements in Jobber?
One of the places I feel like Jobber could improve the most is making service agreements more easy to administrate. It's a little chunky doing the re-occurring job thing. For those companies that have a lot of these, how are you guys doing in in Jobber?
Have you used OneStepGPS in Jobber?
Just got a demo of OneStepGPS. I'm looking for a fleet tracking system and integrating with Jobber sounds great. BUT They couldn't run a demo of it in Jobber, didn't have screenshots, really couldn't tell me anything about how it integrates beyond "you'll see everything in Jobber" Anybody have this, can you share how it works, maybe some screen shots? @JobberDevelopers One of the other programs I looked at is on the ball and wants to integrate with Jobber. Get your team talking to Fleet Complete!
Looking for a jobber consultant/expert
My septic company recently invested in Jobber as a means to move away from endless paperwork and redundant data entry. We use software like Quickbooks Online, Filemaker Pro, and CompanyCam. Anyone who can help us integrate our work and migrate our data into jobber and train me would be greatly appreciated!
Can Zapier automate Jobber requests with custom fields and team assignments?
Hi Team, Has anyone here created an automation in Zapier that automate the creation of Request in Jobber will add all fields, including data in On-Site Assessment field and assigning to a Team. I have integrated jobber and use the jobber zap in zapier but it will just create a Request and add note to a request. but won't automate the On-Site Assessment and assign it to a team. Is there any way that we can do this? I'm thinking about using the jobber app, but I can't find any documentation about using it. or maybe i'm confuse on the documentation. If you have created or have done this, please let me know.
