FAQ

Questions owners ask

Something else on your mind? Ask us when you try the demo.

Will it work with my website?

Most likely. Job Intake is added to your site as a short script tag or a "Get a free estimate" button, and the chat opens on top of your page. If your website lets you add a snippet of code, it can run there. If you are not sure, we check it with you.

Who sees the price?

You do, first. The job report suggests a range from your own price list. The customer sees a price only after you tap Approve and send.

What if it's an emergency?

When a customer types words like sparking, burning smell or hot breaker, the chat stops asking questions and shows a card with your phone number and a line to call 911 if anyone is in danger. You get an email marked Possible emergency, with their number when they gave it.

What does setup take?

We set it up with you: your service area, the questions for your trade, your price list and the inbox for job reports. On your website it is one script tag or button.

What happens to customer data?

Each business's requests are stored separately, and the details go only to that business. Photos are kept in private storage, and the link in each job report is signed and expires.
