Jobber Integration With GHL: Client Fields and Setup
GoHighLevel has a native Jobber app. It keeps clients and contacts in sync both ways: name, email, phone, address, lead source and tags. It does not sync quotes, jobs, visits or invoices. For those, add a Zapier step or a small custom build. Keep running jobs in Jobber and use GoHighLevel for follow-up.
What syncs between Jobber and GoHighLevel?
| Data | Native app | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, phone, address | ✓ Two-way | Native app |
| Lead source and tags | ✓ Synced | Native app |
| Jobber client link and created date | ✓ Synced | Native app |
| Quotes sent or approved | ✕ | Zapier or custom |
| Jobs, visits and completion | ✕ | Zapier or custom |
| Invoices and payments | ✕ | Zapier (invoice events) or custom |

Install the app at agency level
Your agency admin installs the Jobber app from the HighLevel App Marketplace first. Sub-accounts can’t see it until then.
Check the starter assets
The app offers ready-made assets. Review them so they don’t clash with workflows you already run.
Authorize Jobber in the sub-account
Open the Jobber app inside the sub-account and log in with the Jobber account owner.
Pick the import start date
Choose how far back to import. Keep marketing workflows off until you’ve checked the records.
Spot-check 10 clients
Compare them in both tools, then edit one in each to confirm changes flow both ways.
The first import runs gradually, about 2,500 records every five minutes. A large client list can take a while, so start it before you need it.
Limits to know before you connect
These come from HighLevel’s Jobber guide. None of them is a deal-breaker, but each one is easier to plan for than to fix later.
| Limit | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| The historic import runs once | Pick the start date carefully. You cannot change it and import again. |
| One sub-account per Jobber account | A Jobber account cannot feed two GoHighLevel sub-accounts. |
| The sync cannot be paused | To stop it, disconnect the LeadConnector app inside Jobber under Connected Apps. |
| No sync log yet | You cannot see a history of what synced, so spot-check records yourself. |
| Custom fields, notes and attachments stay in Jobber | Plan a custom build if your follow-up depends on them. |
| Clients are matched by their Jobber ID | The link holds even when an email or phone number changes. |
Getting quotes, jobs and invoices across with Zapier
The native app stops at client details. Jobber’s Zapier app adds the events below. All of them fire instantly.
| Jobber event on Zapier | What to do with it in GoHighLevel |
|---|---|
| New Request Created | Create the contact and send an instant reply |
| Quote Sent | Create an opportunity and start quote follow-up |
| Quote Approved | Move the opportunity to won and stop the follow-up |
| New Job Created | Tag the contact so marketing texts pause while work is booked |
| Job Closed | Send the review request |
| New Invoice Created | Tag the contact as invoiced |
| Invoice Updated | Thank the customer once the invoice shows as paid |
| New Client Created, Client Updated | Already covered by the native app |
Every follow-up needs a stop. If “Quote Sent” starts a sequence, “Quote Approved” must end it. Otherwise customers who already said yes keep getting reminders.
Native app, Zapier or custom build?
| Route | What you get | Best for | Our price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native app | Two-way client sync | Follow-up and reactivation on your client list | From $597 |
| Native app + Zapier | Client sync plus quote, job and invoice events | Quote follow-up and review requests | From $597 |
| Custom API build | Any Jobber data, including custom fields | Payment details, custom fields, more than one location | From $997 |
What a custom Jobber build involves
Jobber’s API uses GraphQL and OAuth. Its webhooks send only the ID of the record that changed, so your system has to call Jobber back to fetch the details. Jobber expects a reply within one second and can send the same event more than once, so the build has to queue events and ignore repeats. Source: Jobber developer docs.
Do you need Zapier at all?
Not if you only want to message your client list. New-client follow-up and seasonal offers run on the native app alone. Add Zapier when a message depends on something happening in Jobber, such as a quote being sent or a job being closed.
If something goes wrong
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The Jobber app is not in your sub-account | It was not installed at agency level | Ask the agency admin to install it and select your sub-account |
| Old clients are missing | The import is still running, or the start date was too recent | Wait for the import to finish. For clients before the start date, import a CSV export from Jobber |
| Customers get two reminders | Jobber and GoHighLevel both send it | Give each message one owner and switch the other off |
| You need to stop the sync | There is no pause button | Disconnect the LeadConnector app in Jobber under Connected Apps |
| A custom field is empty in GoHighLevel | The native app does not sync custom fields | Use a custom build, or keep that field in Jobber only |

Common questions
Does Jobber integrate with GoHighLevel?
Yes. HighLevel has a native Jobber app that syncs clients and contacts both ways, including name, email, phone, address, lead source and tags.
Does the Jobber GoHighLevel integration sync quotes and jobs?
No. The native app syncs client data only. Quotes, jobs, visits and invoices need a Zapier step or a custom API build.
How do I install the Jobber app in GoHighLevel?
An agency admin installs it from the HighLevel App Marketplace. Then you authorize Jobber inside the sub-account and choose how far back to import clients.
Which Jobber events can Zapier send to GoHighLevel?
Jobber’s Zapier app has instant triggers for new requests, quotes created, sent and approved, jobs created, updated and closed, invoices created and updated, and clients created and updated.
Can I import old Jobber clients into GoHighLevel?
Yes, once. You choose a start date and the app imports clients from then, at about 2,500 records every five minutes. The historic import cannot be run a second time.
Can I pause the Jobber sync?
No. HighLevel says there is no option to pause it. To stop the sync, disconnect the LeadConnector app inside Jobber under Connected Apps.
Can one Jobber account connect to two GoHighLevel sub-accounts?
No. Each Jobber account supports one active connection, so it links to one GoHighLevel sub-account.
