Chop the busy work. Keep the jobs.
Step-by-step automation recipes for HVAC, plumbing, cleaning and landscaping businesses, built on the software you already use: Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks, Google Business Profile, Gmail. Every recipe shows the Zapier, Make and n8n versions and what it costs per month.
Start with what you use
Jobber
Deepest Zapier support: 11 instant triggers (requests, quotes, jobs, invoices, clients) and 6 actions. Connect plan or higher.
Housecall Pro
Zapier: job scheduled, job finished, create customer. Webhooks and API are MAX-plan only. We label every recipe.
QuickBooks Online
Dozens of triggers and actions on all three platforms. Jobber and Housecall Pro already sync invoices one way into it.
Google Business Profile
New-review triggers and reply/post actions on Zapier, Make and n8n.
New this week
Turn lead-notification emails into Jobber requests automatically
Every website-form or lead-directory email becomes a Jobber client + request with the original message attached as a note. No more copy-paste from your inbox.
Get an instant Slack or email alert (plus a lead log) for every new Jobber request
The moment a request lands in Jobber, the on-call person gets a Slack DM or email, and a row is added to a Google Sheet so you can see lead volume by week and source.
Log every completed Housecall Pro job to Google Sheets (for commissions and crew bonuses)
Each time a job is marked finished in Housecall Pro, add a row to a Google Sheet: customer, job ID, tags, address. Commission and bonus math becomes a filter, not a Friday-night chore.
A Monday-morning email listing every QuickBooks invoice coming due
One email every Monday: the invoices due this week, with customer and amount, so the owner knows who to call before money goes late. Your customers get nothing extra.
Get alerted within minutes when a 1–3 star Google review comes in
Low-star reviews go straight to the owner's inbox or phone so you can call the customer and reply the same day. The reply is written by a human.
How we're different
Built-in first
We tell you when Jobber or Housecall Pro already does it (quote and invoice follow-ups, QuickBooks sync), so you don't pay for a Zap you don't need.
Official docs only
Every trigger and action is linked to the vendor's documentation, with a "last verified" date. No made-up features.
Real monthly cost
Zapier vs Make vs n8n with the assumptions shown. Plan requirements (like Housecall Pro MAX) up front.
