When Intercom and Jobber operate independently, support teams often miss critical customer information, leading to delays in service. For instance, when a customer requests a service through Intercom, the support agent must manually enter that request into Jobber, risking errors in customer details or service type. This manual entry wastes valuable time for support agents who could be addressing more inquiries, ultimately impacting customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Top Ways to Automate Intercom & Jobber

  • Seamless Customer Communication: Automatically sync customer inquiries from Intercom to Jobber, ensuring that service teams have real-time access to customer questions and can respond promptly, enhancing customer satisfaction.
  • Streamlined Job Management: Create new jobs in Jobber directly from Intercom conversations, allowing for immediate action on customer requests without the need for manual data entry, thus saving time and reducing errors.
  • Enhanced Reporting and Insights: Consolidate customer interaction data from Intercom with job performance metrics in Jobber, enabling teams to analyze trends and make informed decisions to improve service delivery and drive revenue growth.

How to Build the Intercom → Jobber Sync

  1. In Intercom, navigate to 'Settings' > 'Webhooks' and create a new webhook for the 'New Conversation' trigger. Set the webhook URL to your server endpoint that will handle the incoming data.
  2. Configure the webhook to send JSON payloads containing the following fields: customer_id, message, and timestamp.
  3. On your server, implement an endpoint (e.g., /api/intercom-to-jobber) to receive the webhook data. Parse the incoming JSON to extract the customer_id, message, and timestamp.
  4. Using the Jobber API, construct a POST request to https://api.getjobber.com/v1/jobs with the extracted data. Ensure the payload includes the necessary fields such as customer_id, service_type (derived from the message), and scheduled_time (using timestamp).
  5. Test the integration by sending a test conversation in Intercom and verifying that a new job is created in Jobber with the correct details.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the customer_id from Intercom matches the format expected by Jobber; discrepancies in ID formats can lead to failed job creation.
  • Be cautious with the message content; if it contains special characters or exceeds the character limit allowed by Jobber, the API call will fail.
  • When scheduling jobs, validate the timestamp format to match Jobber's expected datetime format; incorrect formats will result in errors during job creation.
