Scheduling, invoicing, quoting, client management. Most of them also have a phone problem they haven't solved yet. Key Takeaways dolfyn connects to Jobber via a custom API integration when an inbound call results in a booking, the job is created directly in Jobber automatically. No manual data entry. The AI answers calls, collects service details, books the appointment, and the job appears in your Jobber schedule. Emergency calls get routed to the right person immediately. Setup takes about a week and is handled entirely by the dolfyn team. Jobber handles the job once it's in the system. The gap is what happens before a job gets created. A potential customer calls, gets voicemail, and books with a competitor. Jobber never sees that job because it never made it in. That's the problem an AI receptionist with Jobber integration solves. Contractors miss about 28% of inbound calls on average because they're on job sites and physically can't answer. At Jobber's typical customer profile, a 5-tech HVAC or plumbing company doing 200 calls a month loses roughly 56 of those to voicemail. At $400 average job value, that's $7,840 per month that never becomes a Jobber job in the first place. ## What does the dolfyn and Jobber integration actually do? The integration connects dolfyn's AI call handling to Jobber's scheduling and client management, step by step: 1 Call comes in dolfyn answers immediately 24/7. Caller describes what they need. Emergency or routine, the AI handles the intake correctly based on the protocols built for your specific business. 2 Information collected Name, address, phone, service type, preferred time. For new callers, full contact details. For existing Jobber clients, the AI recognizes returning customers and handles the call with their account context in mind. 3 Job created in Jobber Confirmed bookings populate directly into Jobber. Client record created if new. Job added to the schedule with all relevant details. No manual entry on your end. 4 Confirmation sent The caller receives booking confirmation. You get a summary of the call. Everything is in Jobber before you've finished the job you're currently on. Emergency calls work differently. A burst pipe at 10pm doesn't go through the booking flow. The AI identifies the urgency, collects address and callback information, and alerts your on-call person immediately. The Jobber job gets created after the emergency is resolved. ## Why Jobber alone doesn't solve the missed call problem Jobber has an AI Receptionist add-on. It's $99/month on top of your Jobber subscription and it's worth knowing about before you consider dolfyn. Jobber's own tool is integrated with the platform directly, which is a genuine advantage. A contractor on Jobber Grow Team paying $349/month who adds the AI Receptionist at $99/month is at $448/month before payment processing. That's not unreasonable for what it does. The question is what it does and whether it matches your specific operation. Jobber's AI Receptionist is built around Jobber's templates and booking flows. It handles calls based on what Jobber knows about your business from your account settings. dolfyn is built from a conversation about how your business actually operates. Emergency triage, after-hours protocols, specific routing logic, custom call flows for your trade. The starting point is your operation, not a template. Jobber AI Receptionist vs dolfyn Jobber's built-in AI Receptionist is the lower-friction option if you're already deep in the Jobber ecosystem and want everything in one place at $99/month extra. dolfyn is the better fit if you want the AI built specifically around how your business operates, with daily oversight and custom emergency protocols. Both connect to Jobber. The difference is depth of customization and ongoing management. ## What Jobber is good at vs what dolfyn handles Jobber is field service management. Scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, quoting, client management, payments. It's excellent at this. Over 250,000 contractors use it daily for a reason. The iOS app is rated 4.8/5. It handles the job lifecycle from quote to payment about as well as any platform in its price range. What Jobber is not is an inbound call handler. Calls that come in while your team is on job sites don't go into Jobber automatically. Someone has to answer, collect information, and create the job manually. The bigger your operation, the more of that manual work you're doing every day. dolfyn handles the intake layer. The call comes in, the AI answers, the information gets collected and pushed to Jobber. Your team works from Jobber as normal. The difference is they're working from a complete picture instead of one that's missing every call that came in during the workday. ## How setup works The dolfyn team handles the integration setup entirely. You're not configuring API connections or mapping fields in your Jobber account. The process: You have a discovery conversation with the dolfyn team about how your business operates. They build the AI agent around that, including the Jobber integration configured to your specific workflow. You review the setup and go live. Most Jobber-connected clients are live within about a week of completing setup. Daily oversight is included after launch. The dolfyn team monitors calls, catches issues before you notice them, and refines the agent as your business evolves. If your call volume changes, if you add a new service, if your emergency protocols shift the agent gets updated without you having to reconfigure anything yourself. What you need to get started An active Jobber account. Your Jobber admin approves dolfyn's connection in one click through Jobber's own developer platform, and we confirm your plan supports it during setup. Your current call handling setup. A 30-minute conversation with the dolfyn team about your services, territory, and emergency protocols. That's it. dolfyn handles the rest. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does dolfyn integrate with Jobber?
