Automated task to show up after being in a status for X amount of days
I want an automated task to show up after being in a status for X amount of days. I see I can create a task that’s scheduled for after X amount of days in being in a status, but I was wondering if there is a way so that it only shows if the file is in the same status for that period of time, because if we have moved it along and it hasn’t been in that status for that period of time, I don’t want it to show up.
1 voteCurrently, time-based automations can be used to create tasks after a certain time in status. For example, if a lead is in a status for 10 days, a task would be created to follow-up with that lead. If you move them out of the lead status before 10 days, nothing would happen. Here is a full sheet of all available automations. https://3401zs241c1u3z7ulj3z6g7u-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/All-JobNimbus-Automations.pdf
I am happy to help with additional details if needed.
Thank you,

Automations around status change based on previous status
It would be nice to create an automation around specific status changes. Meaning not for every contact that moves to the status of scheduled but only those that move to scheduled that came from a specific start point.
We have some jobs that one scheduled need to have 811 called, and others do not. I'd like only contacts that come from a status based on they type of estimate they received that come to scheduled to create a task to scheudle 811.
1 voteThis can currently be accomplished using custom fields on the job. To do this, create an event based contact/job automation. For conditions, set the status that the job would be when 811 needs to be called, such as “Job kick Off” status. Create a custom check box on the job that says, “811 Needed”. Set a condition that 811 Needed is equal to true. Finally, build an action that creates a task to call 811.
With this, when a job enters the kick off status and has the 811 box checked, a task will be created to schedule 811.

Archive Automation When a Contract is Signed
In the sales pipeline, when a contract is signed and moves to the production board, it duplicates, but doesn't archive on the sales board, leaving a cluttered list to scroll for days through.
My thought would be to archive any signed contracts, leaving only one copy of each contact in JN to avoid any mishap due to human or clerical error.
1 voteI looked at your workflow and it looks like you are archiving the contact when the contract is signed. This is not the intended flow.
Contacts can move through the workflow and can exist on multiple boards at the same time. In your case, you’d want to do the following:
1. Remove the archiving from the Signed Contract stage in your workflow
2. Add Signed Contact to the start of your production board.This would make it so that when a contract is put in the “Signed Contract” status on the Sales board, it would also show up on the Production board. Your production team would be able to see it on the production board and then move it to the “Site Survey” status. Once the production team moved it from “Contract Signed” it would no longer show up on your Sales board.
If you have any other questions, please…

Time-Based Automation (Delays, Conditions)
I wish I could trigger status changes, notifications, or tasks based on time.
Example 1: if no activity within "x" time, an email or task would be triggered.
Example 2: if a note/activity occurs between "x" and "y" times (say 7:00-9:00 am or between 11:00 pm - 5:00 am) an email or task would be triggered.
Example 3: If no activity/status change after "x" days, change status. Or if Days in Status exceeds "x", then change status or perform other action.123 votesThis feature is now completed.

embed videos to automation
I would like to embed a video into an automation email instead of hyperlinking the video to the automation. Having the video show up in the email would help us by making sure our clients don't skip over this important step.
1 voteThe system currently allows you to embedded videos. The issue is that most email clients (gmail, hotmail, etc.) don’t allow for embedded video to play in your email, so your clients wouldn’t be able to watch the video in the email. That is why most people have gone away from embedding video into emails and instead just link to them.
Thanks,

Disable Auto-Emails to Assigned Subcontractors
When a sub-contractor is assigned to a job, task, or work order, JobNimbus automatically sends an email out to the assigned sub.
It would be much better if there was an option to disable the auto-email and choose when/if to send an email to the sub-contractor.
20 votesYou can now disable the automatic emails that are sent to subcontractors when assigning them to a contact or job. To do this:
1. Go to your name at the top right and choose “Settings” from the menu.
2. Head to the Contact Workflows tab.
3. For your subcontractor workflows, use the ••• to choose "Notification Preferences.
4. Uncheck any of the items that you no longer wish to automatically send to your subs in this type.
5. Click “Save”If you have further questions, please contact support@jobnimbus.com or call 855-964-6287.

Group product items into a kit
It would be nice to create an item that was composed of multiple items with their appropriate quantities. Kit cost would be a rollup of the individual items, but could be overridden if need be.
1 voteHello,
Thanks for your suggestion. You can create templates/saved estimates which serves a lot of the same function as kits. If you have questions about how to build templates please contact support@jobnimbus.com.

follow number rules
we need to have email templates but this thing can't even allow us to sort them please listen to feedback we even send you pictures
1 voteHey!
Text sorting with numbers can be frustrating the first time you see it, but this is how computers sort text that includes numbers.
A simple way to deal with this is to zero pad your numbers, meaning instead of 1 you put 01. This will work up to 99.
You can contact support@jobnimbus.com if you have any other issues.
Thanks,

Lead Source as Automation Condition
At present:
IF type = Customer
IF status = ActiveNeeds:
IF LeadSource = <selected>This automation would enable based on lead source where and whom to send creating tremendous flexibility including the immediate dispatch of web form leads to say a designated dispatcher.
23 votesHello!
Lead source is now available as a condition for contact and job, event based, automations. You can set up additional lead sources in the settings page, which will then show in the lead source dropdown of the automations. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The ability to calendarize rules/automations to do drip marketing while in one status.
When a job/customer sits in one particular spot in your sales process you need to be able to send multiple emails that are calenderized out in an automatic function to drip market to clients. Comercial projects can take several months or even a year to come to fruition and having the ability to drip maket throughout your sales funnel is an absolute must! The current automotation choices are extremily limited, there could be so much more done with the ability to add calendar functions to automation.
1 voteYou can use our integration with Zapier to send drip campaigns and keep your contacts in sync with something like MailChimp or ConstantContact. Here’s a tutorial to help you get started:

not put "Countdown to JobNimbus Solution Summit 2018" fixed on screen

Assign a sub right from the work order
Would be nice to be able to assign a subcontractor right from the work order when its created instead of having to go back and editing the contact.
