Artificial turf installers

A GoHighLevel to Jobber integration for turf installers

Your inquiries live in GoHighLevel (GHL) and your jobs live in Jobber. We built the link between the two for an artificial turf installer: a form submission creates the Jobber contact, and when a customer pays a Jobber invoice, a Zapier step carries that payment back into HighLevel.

The job

Two systems, one customer

HighLevel owns the conversation. Jobber owns the work.

If Jobber already runs your scheduling, your crews and your invoices, there is no reason to give it up for HighLevel. The trouble sits in the gap between them. A lead arrives through HighLevel, somebody retypes it into Jobber, and sooner or later a phone number is mistyped or a customer exists in one system and not the other.

On the turf build we did, that gap closes at the form. When a lead submits the inquiry form in HighLevel, the contact is created in Jobber automatically. Nobody copies a name, a number or an address from one screen to the other, and the customer is already there when your team opens Jobber.

Information also comes back at the one moment that matters most: payment. When an invoice is paid in Jobber, a Zap carries it into HighLevel, finds or creates the matching contact and updates the opportunity, so the follow-up that belongs after a paid job runs from the right record.

That Zap failed more than once, and the cause was small. The phone field was arriving from Jobber with the customer's name stuck onto the number, and HighLevel's side rejected it as too long to be a phone number. Each failure left a record someone had to clean up by hand. We added a code step inside the Zap that strips the name out of the phone field before the data reaches HighLevel, and that fixed it.

Two rules keep the integration from causing trouble inside Jobber. HighLevel never changes Jobber's own stage automations, so whatever Jobber does when a job is scheduled keeps working exactly as before. And the sync carries contacts, not jobs, visits or invoices, so your schedule is only ever built in Jobber.

Here is what it doesn't do. Apart from paid invoices, nothing comes back from Jobber: a customer you add or edit in Jobber doesn't update HighLevel. A full sync in that direction runs through a Jobber developer app, which on our build is still waiting on Jobber's review. Until it is approved and tested end to end, we don't treat it as part of the build.

What we set up

What the integration includes

Connected and tested across both accounts, from the plan you approved.

  • A Jobber contact created automatically when your HighLevel inquiry form is submitted
  • Form answers placed in the matching Jobber contact fields
  • A Zap that brings a paid Jobber invoice into HighLevel
  • The matching HighLevel contact found or created, and its opportunity updated
  • A code step that cleans the phone field before HighLevel receives it
  • Jobber's own stage automations left exactly as they are
  • A test submission followed from the form to the new Jobber contact before handover

How a setup runs

Connecting the two systems

  1. A 1:1 with Rob

    We look at your Jobber account and your HighLevel form side by side: what Jobber's automations already do, and where customers get typed in twice today.

  2. The plan

    The plan document lists every field that moves between the two systems, what starts each transfer, and the messages that run after it, word for word. You approve it before anything is connected.

  3. Connect and test

    We connect HighLevel and Jobber, send a test lead through the form, and check the contact that appears in Jobber field by field.

  4. QA report

    Screenshots from both sides show each transfer working: the HighLevel form entry, the Jobber contact it created, and the Zap's run history.

  5. When something changes

    If a transfer fails later, or you want another field carried across, you hear first whether that is a fix inside the agreed scope or new scope.

What you bring

Access and decisions we need

Jobber admin access

Access to Jobber, granted by you, that can connect apps and see your client list, so we can link the accounts and check where contacts land.

Your existing Zaps

If Zapier already moves anything between Jobber and HighLevel, access to that Zapier account so we start by reading what is there.

What Jobber does on its own

The automations Jobber runs when a job is scheduled or an invoice is paid, so nothing in HighLevel doubles them up or fights them.

One person who knows Jobber

Someone on your side who can open a test contact in Jobber and confirm it looks the way your team expects.

Where it stops

Contacts go from HighLevel to Jobber, and paid invoices come back. Nothing else returns from Jobber, HighLevel never edits a Jobber job or visit, and Jobber's own automations stay untouched.

Questions

What turf installers ask about Jobber and HighLevel

Do we still need Jobber if we have HighLevel?
You can keep it, and this build assumes you do. Jobber runs the schedule, the crews and the invoices, while HighLevel runs the inquiry, the booking and the follow-up. The integration stops you typing the same customer in twice.
Does a customer we add in Jobber show up in HighLevel?
Only when they pay an invoice, through the Zap. A full sync from Jobber back into HighLevel needs a Jobber developer app, and on our turf build that direction is still waiting on Jobber's review. Until it is approved and tested, customers added in Jobber stay in Jobber.
What breaks a Zap between Jobber and HighLevel?
On our build it was the phone field. Jobber sent the number with the customer's name attached, and HighLevel rejected it as too long to be a phone number. A code step that removes the name before the data reaches HighLevel fixed it.
Will this change the automations we already run in Jobber?
No. We never edit Jobber's own stage automations. HighLevel only creates the contact in Jobber, so whatever Jobber already does when a job is scheduled carries on as before.
How do you test the integration?
We send a test lead through the HighLevel form and check the contact it creates in Jobber, field by field, before handover. The QA report includes screenshots from both systems, so you can see the same customer on each side.
