How to connect ServiceM8

Turn every accepted quote into a ServiceM8 job — client, site address and materials included.

Once ServiceM8 is connected, a customer accepting your quote creates a job in ServiceM8 by itself. No retyping the client, the address or the line items.

What lands in ServiceM8

When a customer accepts one of your quotes, robot creates a new job in ServiceM8 with:

  • The client — matched to an existing ServiceM8 client by name, or created fresh with their email and phone.
  • The site address from the customer’s details.
  • A job contact, so whoever’s on site knows who to call.
  • A job description with the quote number, title, total, payment stages and a link to the signed quote.
  • Materials — one for each quote line, at the unit price and quantity from your quote.
  • The job is set to Work Order, because it’s signed work, not a lead.
Tip

Section headings and any optional items the customer said no to are left out of the materials.

Keep your quoted prices

The materials come across at the prices you quoted. ServiceM8 can offer to update material prices from its own price list.

Good to know

Don’t press ServiceM8’s Apply Changes price banner on these jobs. It can swap your quoted prices for your ServiceM8 price list, and the job won’t match what the customer signed.

Line items not coming across?

If you connected ServiceM8 a while back, your connection may be missing the permission robot now uses for materials. The job still gets created, but without the line items.

Fix it once: open Settings → Integrations → ServiceM8, tap Disconnect, then Connect ServiceM8 again. Quotes accepted after that bring their line items with them.

Disconnect or reconnect

To stop creating jobs, open Settings → Integrations → ServiceM8 and tap Disconnect.

If the row says Needs reconnect, the connection has stopped working — usually because the add-on was turned off in ServiceM8. Tap Reconnect ServiceM8.
