When Jobber and Trello operate independently, field service teams often face delays in project updates. For instance, when a job status changes in Jobber, such as moving from 'In Progress' to 'Completed', this update may not reflect in Trello. As a result, project managers manually check Jobber for updates and then enter them into Trello, wasting valuable time that could be spent on strategic planning. This manual entry can lead to discrepancies, such as outdated task statuses in Trello, causing confusion among team members regarding project progress.

Top Ways to Automate Jobber & Trello

  • Automated Task Creation: Instantly create Trello cards for each new job in Jobber, ensuring that project managers and teams have a clear visual representation of tasks that need to be completed.
  • Real-Time Status Updates: Automatically update Trello card statuses based on job progress in Jobber, allowing all stakeholders to track project developments without manual input.
  • Centralized Communication: Sync comments and notes between Jobber and Trello, ensuring that all team members have access to the latest information and can collaborate effectively, reducing the risk of miscommunication.

How to Build the Jobber → Trello Sync

  1. In Jobber, set up a webhook to trigger on job status updates. Use the endpoint: https://api.jobber.com/v1/webhooks. Configure it to listen for the job.updated event.
  2. Extract the relevant payload data from the webhook, specifically the job ID and the new status from the JSON payload: { 'job_id': '12345', 'status': 'Completed' }.
  3. Use the Trello API to update the corresponding card. Make a POST request to the endpoint: https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardId}, where {cardId} is the Trello card associated with the job.
  4. In the POST request, include the payload: { 'id': '{cardId}', 'name': 'Job #{job_id} - Status Updated', 'desc': 'Job status updated to Completed' }.
  5. Test the integration by changing a job status in Jobber and verifying that the corresponding Trello card updates accordingly.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the job ID in Jobber correctly maps to the Trello card ID; mismatches can lead to updates being sent to the wrong card.
  • Be cautious of the payload structure from Jobber; if the webhook does not include the job status change, your integration will fail to trigger the update in Trello.
  • When updating Trello cards, remember to handle existing descriptions appropriately; appending new status updates without clearing old data can lead to cluttered card descriptions.
