Frequently asked questions
Can I move my history from Housecall Pro into SnapJobAI?
Self-serve workspace signup is available, but a complete customer/job/invoice-history importer is not implemented. Review required fields, attachments, balances and reconciliation before planning a migration. The integration API does not promise full historical migration.
Does SnapJobAI automatically dispatch, forecast demand or run marketing campaigns?
No. Dispatch suggestions use skill matching and open workload for office review. Configured AI can draft invoice items. Booking emails and overdue invoice reminders have defined opt-in rules; general marketing campaigns and demand forecasts are not included.
Can my technicians install the native app today?
Native distribution is pending signed-device validation and store release. Use the web technician workflows when evaluating the product; selected native caches and retry queues do not establish universal offline access.
What should I test before switching?
Use representative jobs to check roles, booking capacity, customer approval, invoice corrections, payment recovery and accounting needs. Confirm provider setup, available features, support arrangements and commercial terms before relying on the system for live operations.
