Jobber

Jobber connects with one sign-in. There are no keys to copy. You need to be an admin on your SimplifyLocal account, and each Jobber account can be connected to one SimplifyLocal business.

Connect from SimplifyLocal

1. Pick Jobber under Setup → Connect your scheduling software, or go to Settings → Your connections → Connect a tool and choose Connect Jobber.
2. Sign in to Jobber and allow access on Jobber’s permission screen.
3. You land back in SimplifyLocal with the banner “Jobber is connected. Your finished jobs will start coming in.”

If you press Deny on Jobber’s screen, nothing is connected and you can try again whenever you are ready.

Connect from the Jobber App Marketplace

1. In the Jobber App Marketplace, open SimplifyLocal and click Connect.
2. Jobber sends you to a Finish connecting Jobber page in SimplifyLocal. Sign in if you are not already.
3. Check the two rows on the card: Jobber account (the account you just connected) and Your business (the SimplifyLocal business it will feed). If you are an admin on more than one business, pick the right one.
4. Click Connect Jobber.

Only continue if you just clicked Connect in the Marketplace yourself. If you did not, choose Not now.

A connection request from the Marketplace is only good for about 30 minutes. If it expires, start again from the Marketplace or connect from Settings.

New to SimplifyLocal? The finish page explains that we set up new businesses one at a time: email us and we will get you started.

What happens next

Finished jobs and their photos start coming in automatically. The first import pulls every job you completed in the last 3 months, newest first, up to the newest 300. Jobs you complete from here on come in on their own; see What we import and when.

To send a test job through, name the client Delete Me or Testing Only (the company name or a line item name starting with the same words also works). It goes to your Archived tab instead of becoming a page.

Keep the connection healthy

Do not press “Test in GraphiQL”

If you or your developer open Jobber’s Developer Center, do not press Test in GraphiQL on a Jobber account connected to SimplifyLocal. It silently breaks the connection. If someone already pressed it, go to Settings → Your connections and press Reconnect.

When a connection stops working, the card reads Reconnect needed with “Your Jobber connection stopped working. Reconnect to keep your jobs coming in.” Reconnecting does not create duplicate pages.

Disconnecting SimplifyLocal from inside Jobber has the same effect as pressing Disconnect in Settings; see Disconnecting.

If something goes wrong

• “That Jobber account is already connected to another SimplifyLocal business.” Each Jobber account connects to one business. Email us if that does not sound right.
• “That business is already connected to a different Jobber account.” Disconnect the old one in Settings first, then connect again.
• “We connected to Jobber but couldn’t finish reading your account.” Connect again.
• “That connection request expired.” Start again from the Marketplace or from Settings.
