I'm using N8N to build out the workflows and automations. That connects to all the LLMs.
One thing we just built was a Google folder that when my older owner wants to create invoices, print them off, he can take a photo of it and upload it to the folder. My workflow will use OpenAI image analyzer and scan it for all the contact details, property details, project details (we're in roofing) and then add that person to Jobber.
It's not perfect but it at least helps us stay up to date with what he's doing (he's our OG sales guy) while not forcing him to use new tech that he doesn't want to use.
Very excited to start getting deeper into the Ai Agents that do a lot of the admin in the backend. I chose Jobber because it's supposed to be the best Open API that can connect to any other tools like hover, eagleview, gmail, etc.

Curious to know how that's going for you. Connecting to Jobber without using something like Zapier has been a right royal pain for me. Their implementation of OAuth seems to buck the trend everyone else uses and seems to require extra hoop jumping to get working.
I’ve been building on Jobber + n8n for a while now, and totally agree with the comments about OAuth being quirky. Took me a fair bit of trial and error, but I’ve now got a stable setup that handles token refresh automatically, processes webhooks, and can run complex flows that go beyond Zapier’s webhook-only integration.
I’m self-hosting so each customer has their own isolated n8n environment — more secure and avoids any “shared account” issues.
Right now I’m putting together a small beta group of Jobber users who want to try some plug-and-play automations without having to mess around with the setup headaches. If that sounds interesting, feel free to DM me and I can share more about what’s possible.

Oooo! Sounds promising!
Looking forward to hearing more.
