Best Jobber Automations

I got a message back from the API team and you can do it with the API but it's just over my head... 

Hey Corey, 
 
Thanks for reaching out! Cool idea. 
 
You can technically use either option, but jobberWebUri will likely be easier. It will give you a link formatted exactly the way you need.
 
Here's just a quick sample query of what this could look like:
 
query SampleQuery {
clients(first: 100) {
totalCount
nodes {
id
firstName
lastName
jobberWebUri
}
pageInfo {
endCursor
hasNextPage
}
}
} 
It will return something like this:
 

 
The other option is to use id: EncodedId! (a unique identifier) which should work for your needs as well, but it’s a bit more complex. If you query for it, you’ll get something like this: Z2lkOi8vSm9iYmVyL0NsaWVudC80ODYyMjY3Mw==. (As seen in the above screenshot too)
 
This is Base64-encoded, and when you decode it, you’ll see something like this: gid://Jobber/Client/48622673. While it matches what you’re looking for, it’s not as clean as jobberWebUri.
 
Another option could be using Zapier for this process, especially for new clients. 
 
For example:

• New client created in Jobber → Decode Base64 → Add client to Google Contacts with a note linking to the client URL.

 
Of course, the best approach depends on your specific use case.
 
Let me know if you have further questions!
 
Cheers,

This might be a great question to ask here for the group (and for WiringByron !) A bit of a unique question...

Is there any way to export a list of client links so I can sync this (or add the URL to) Google contacts?

Specifically, I'd like the client link (Example: https://secure.getjobber.com/clients/123456789) to be added to the URL section in Google Contacts so when we can navigate directly to their client page from our Phone System (which pulls data directly from Google Contacts after Zapier updates it after we add or update clients in Jobber.)

Would welcome any insights or potential work-arounds. Thanks!

These are excellent!! Thank you for posting this intel, I will incorporate this into my system

Some more good ones are connecting to Slack to send quote or job updates, importing into Google Sheets where you can then make custom tables or graphs to track data as needed. Hope this helps :) 

Ohhhh Yep I think anything where we can either get info into the notes section or out of the notes section would be amazing. Like, I should be able to forward an email I get to a job notes section. Just like with Asana. My guys, take 2 pics of everything they work on, I would love to be able to automate these pictures to social media but I can't since they are stuck in the notes section. 

Does anyone have a VA they're currently using, or have used in the past to help setting up automations with zapier and / or make adjustments to a website? I'm looking to hire someone for a handful of small tasks, so it's not really enough for a full on VA, so just wondering if I could sub them from you for a few hours over the winter.
