Automated Painting Final Invoice Collection

When a Jobber job moves to Ready to Invoice, WebRun creates the final invoice in QuickBooks, deducting any deposit already collected, drafts a professional payment-request email in Gmail, and posts a Slack alert so you can review and send before the client wonders where the bill is.

In short

How do I automatically generate and send final invoices for completed painting jobs?

WebRun detects when a Jobber job is ready to invoice, creates the final invoice in QuickBooks with the deposit automatically deducted, and drafts a professional payment-request email in Gmail. A Slack alert links you to the draft so you can review and send, turning every finished job into a clean, accurate bill in minutes.

  • Final invoices are created in QuickBooks within minutes of a job being marked complete
  • Deposit credit is applied automatically so the balance due is always accurate
  • Nothing is sent to the client without your explicit review and approval

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the invoice or charge the client automatically?

No. The invoice is created in QuickBooks as a draft and the email is held in Gmail for your review. Nothing is sent or charged until you approve and send it yourself.

How does it handle the deposit that was already collected?

It reads the deposit amount from Jobber and applies it as a credit on the QuickBooks invoice automatically, so the balance-due figure is always correct without manual adjustment.

What if the final job cost changed from the original estimate?

Update the job total in Jobber before it moves to Ready to Invoice status. WebRun reads the final figure at run time and builds the invoice from the current values.
