Appliance repair websites for Jobber that improve dispatch quality

What breaks first
What's broken on most appliance repair websites
Most appliance-repair sites still collect a phone number and vague problem summary, then expect the office to learn the appliance type, brand, model, symptoms, and warranty status on the callback. We end up delaying dispatch just to rebuild the asset story before anyone can book the job. That slows follow-up and creates more bad dispatch risk than the website should allow.
Cost of delay
A weak first response can cost the same-day repair, create avoidable second trips, and waste time on work that should have been screened earlier.

What the connected website changes
What a Jobber-connected appliance repair website does instead
The website captures appliance, brand, issue type, and warranty detail before the handoff starts. On the native path, Jobber receives a Request through the documented request or booking experience. On the custom path, the site can use Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API so the Client, Property, and Request record include cleaner asset context before dispatch responds.
Native path
Use Jobber's native request path when the shop mainly needs a faster handoff into the office workflow.
API or managed intake
Use the GraphQL path when the website needs model-specific intake, warranty routing, or better service-versus-shop workflow detail before the request reaches Jobber.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native Jobber Request intake
The website sends the buyer through Jobber's native request or booking flow so the office sees a Request right away. This fits when the shop can do the rest of qualification inside Jobber.
When to use
Choose this when the repair shop wants the fastest handoff without a deeper custom intake layer.
Custom appliance intake + Jobber GraphQL
The website captures appliance type, brand, model, issue symptoms, and warranty status before a backend uses Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API. That keeps dispatch from working off a vague message.
When to use
Choose this when warranty workflows and same-day repair jobs need different routing before the callback.

We usually find 3 Jobber handoff leaks on appliance-repair sites.
- We keep seeing same-day repairs and warranty jobs pushed into the same callback path.
- We keep seeing the form skip appliance, brand, and model detail until after the lead lands.

We will show where the current appliance-repair handoff breaks and what the website should capture before the lead reaches Jobber.
If we're still dispatching from vague messages with no appliance, brand, or warranty context, we need to fix that before anything goes live.
