Is there any way, or chance of an update, to manually "mark job as scheduled"?

The jobber calendar just isnt very intuitive IMO. I have the sync setup to my google calendar, but it's only 1 way, and it syncs seemingly whenever it wants to so its constantly not updated properly. I prefer the UI of google calendar. I'd like to just use that to schedule, then I can just mark a job as scheduled without giving any other info. Especially since any further workflow options seem to be locked behind whether or not a job is scheduled.

    Hey Pelectric! Thanks for the question. I'm not 100% sure I understand the desired outcome here, so I think the best solution would be to contact our Success Team. 

    Some alternative options here may be to use the Request feature and schedule on-site assessments prior to creating the job. For more information on this, please check out this help article. 

    To contact our team, give us a call 888-721-1115 ext 1 or email mailto:[email protected]. 

    Thanks!

    You're right that Jobber's calendar sync only goes one way (Jobber to Google). For the other direction, what matters for online booking is that your personal appointments exist in Jobber as tasks with a start and end time. I built a small tool that does exactly that automatically: SlotGuard (getslotguard.com) reads your Google Calendar every 15 minutes and keeps matching "Busy" tasks in Jobber, moving or removing them when your appointments change. No jobs or fake clients are created. Disclosure: I'm the developer, so I'm biased. Happy to help even if you don't use it.
