Jobber, a business management software for home service businesses, makes it easy to manage your operations, track employees in the field, and communicate with the rest of your team. But, like most businesses, you probably use a variety of other tools to manage your processes, like spreadsheets, lead-capture apps, and custom tools.
Pairing Jobber with automation lets you easily connect your business-critical tools to build more powerful systems. With Zapier's automated workflows—we call them Zaps—you can easily automate administrative tasks on Jobber, stay organized, and free up more time to grow your business. Here's how.

Save new Jobber contacts in your address book
Jobber creates a new contact every time your business receives an inquiry from a website contact form, Facebook, or email. But it's always a good idea to have customers' contact information in more than one place.
Keeping customer information in a centralized contact database like OpenPhone or Google Contacts gives you more control over your data and more options for communicating with customers. But as your business grows, it becomes difficult to do this manually without errors or duplicate entries.
Instead, use these Zaps to automatically save customer contact information in your contact app anytime a new client is created on Jobber. That way, you'll maintain up-to-date customer contact information in multiple places and communicate with customers through your preferred channel.

Automate lead management
As your business grows, the amount of leads will also increase. So, you need a way to manage prospects at scale, simplify your sales process, and keep everything organized. With these Zaps, you can easily add new clients to your CRM, update existing client records, and track leads as they move through your sales pipeline. That way, you'll have more time on your hands to build relationships with leads and close deals instead of wasting hours organizing data from multiple sources.

Track business processes in a spreadsheet
Jobber is a great tool for managing all aspects of your home service business. But you probably want a backup option for tracking your daily activities. That's where spreadsheets are useful. They let you keep a copy of essential data and serve as a great point of reference for teams that might not have access to your Jobber dashboard. This makes it easier for anyone to analyze your business operation over time.
With these Zaps, you can create automatic backups of your Jobber workflows. So, anytime a new client is created in Jobber, a new row will be added to a designated Google sheet spreadsheet to ensure a consistent and organized customer record.

As daily business activity progresses, prompt communication is key to updating team members on the status of each project so they know when it's time for them to get involved. A quick Slack notification can inform your team about a new quote approval in Jobber. This way, the right employee can quickly provide professional follow-ups, which builds trust with customers.

This workflow reduces the time spent on manual updates, keeps everyone aligned on schedules, and helps you track team performance in the field.
