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 !
Automatically upload files and text to clients profiles?
Hello, I are curious if anyone has successfully found a way to automatically upload files / text notes onto a client's profile within internal notes on Jobber. Vision - voicemail audio files are uploaded to a clients profile inside of the internal notes section; by matching the phone number to an existing client within jobber. If the number cannot be matched to an existing client, the automation stops. At the time of writing this, Zapier + Jobber allow for notes / files to be uploaded to a request but not to a client profile.
Irrigation Field & Billing Workflow help!
Hello! We just hired an irrigation tech to support our commercial and residential VIP Clients. We offer a free monthly wet-check as part of that service. The issue we're having is the workflow on billing. We typically don't send a quote if the repairs are less than $500, and this is where we're looking for a clearer workflow. We'd like to send a quote to cover ourselves so I'm looking for best practice or a better way to do our workflow. Here's the current workflow Tech conducts wetchecks and completes any minor repairs. Tech marks visit complete, needs invoicing is triggered. Account manager reviews notes, job form, and issues the invoice Client calls if they weren't expecting an invoice for repairs, claiming they thought the checkup was free. This is the problem more with VIP customers than with Commercial accounts. We offer a VIP Landscape service package that includes the wet check, but repairs are billed separately. Should the tech be creating a quote in the field and then completing the repairs? What if the client isn't home? To me, it makes more sense for them to do any simple repairs (nozzles, heads, etc) while they're onsite instead of emailing a quote, driving back to the shop, and then us scheduling the repairs for another day. HELP! How do you irrigation contractors do it or what am I missing?Building Trust Through Transparency
In my experience, being transparent with clients has helped build trust and long-term relationships. For example, I always make it a point to explain any potential delays or changes upfront.

Tips to label 'Products & Services' and 'line items' so AI can identify
Can we get some tips please on best way to set up 'line items' or 'products & services' in QB to ensure Copilot and AI Receptionist can identify? I tried the question 'how many deep cleans in 2024 have we served' in Copilot and it said it 'couldn't use real-time date to answer the question.' We currently have our line items listed as follows for example: Cleaning Services - Residential - Deep Clean Cleaning Services - Residential - One-Time or Initial General House Clean Cleaning Services - Residential - General House Clean - Every 2 weeks Cleaning Services - Commercial - General Clean - Weekly Cleaning Services - Commercial - Deep Clean
