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.Crew Insight | New KPI Dashboard in Jobber app marketplace
Hi All! I run a lawn care and gardening business and have struggled with getting all the KPIs I need from Jobber. I've had to spend many hours each month crunching numbers on spreadsheets that could have been spent growing my business. To solve this, I created a software platform that would pull in data from Jobber automatically and give me the numbers I need. Seems like KPI tracking is a common pain point amongst community members so I thought I’d create a post to start the conversation. What KPI’s are you obsessed with? What KPI’s feel hard to track? What metrics are you struggling to improve? If anyone is interested in the software, its called Crew Insight and we recently got it published to the Jobber marketplace so you can find it there or, at crew-insight.com.
Gmail, Outlook Add-on and GetJobber Integration proposal
Dear Community, I am in the process of identifying integration work for Jobber and I have identified my first. Let me know if the following proposal sounds valuable for your business. Do field service professionals spend significant time communicating with clients via email? Getjobber currently lacks native Gmail and Outlook integration, unlike other CRM competitors who are moving toward email integration CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho have proven the value of Gmail integration Proposed Potential Features Customer Context Panel: Display Getjobber customer info in the Gmail sidebar when viewing client emails Job Creation: Create jobs directly from client emails with one click Email-to-Job Logging: Automatically record important emails to job history Scheduling: Add appointments to the Getjobber calendar from email conversations Business Value Time Savings: Field service businesses could save 5-10 hours weekly by eliminating context-switching Improved Response Time: Faster client communication with contextual information readily available Data Accuracy: Reduced manual data entry between email and Getjobber Customer Experience: More professional, coordinated communication with clients
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!Gift Card Workflow/Integration
Hey all, I want to offer Christmas Gift cards to my client list. Last minute? Yup! But there's a long cold season where we won't be doing much work staring at us. Anybody have a good system for offering/tracking gift cards within Jobber or with a solid integration? Best, DarrenHome Depot Pro Referral Integration ?
Good afternoon, I know a lot of contractors are listed for Home Depot Pro Referral - and I was wondering if Jobber has had the ability to directly integrate with them. Since using jobber, I have had my office manager transfer every contact over, one by one, because it didnt allow us to track stats/communication within home depots crm. So I was wondering what do you all use ? Or is it all manual for you too? If you want to check it out - here is the link Try Home Depot Pro
🚗Fleet Sharp and Schedule (alpha) Split Screen
Hello, Our Fleet Sharp trackers do Not populate on the schedule (Alpha) split screen. We heard about Force Fleet at the spring feature announcement, and we have seen screenshots of Force Fleet trackers visible on the schedule split screen. We are wondering (hoping 🙏) if Jobber will update the split screen to show both Force Fleet AND Fleet Sharp trackers. We are wondering if anyone has heard or knows info regarding this topic. Thank you
