Mechanical contractors websites for Jobber that route work

What breaks first
What's broken on most mechanical contractor websites
We're getting service and replacement demand through the site, but it all lands the same way and the office has to sort it out by hand. Most mechanical sites treat repair, maintenance, and replacement like the same generic intake, so the team does manual triage that the website should have handled already. That slows down the first response while urgent service buyers and better-margin replacement leads move to the next contractor.
Cost of delay
A weak first handoff can cost the same-day service call, the replacement opportunity, or the maintenance relationship that should have been routed correctly from the start.
Industry context lives at /for/mechanical-contractors.
What the connected website changes
What a Jobber-connected website does instead
The website separates service-line intent before the handoff starts. On the native path, Jobber receives the request or booking immediately. On the custom path, the site can use Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API to create the Client first and preserve system, urgency, and service-type detail before the office follows up.
Native path
Use Jobber's native request path when the mechanical team mainly needs fast lead capture into the office workflow.
API or managed intake
Use the GraphQL path when repair, maintenance, and replacement leads need different routing before they reach the office.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native Jobber Request intake
The website routes the buyer through Jobber's native request or booking flow so the office sees a new Request right away. This is the cleanest fit when the team can complete the rest of qualification inside Jobber.
When to use
Choose this when the business wants simple lead capture without heavier custom logic on the website.
Custom mechanical intake + Jobber GraphQL
The website captures service type, system detail, location, urgency, and preferred contact method before a backend uses Jobber's OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and GraphQL API. That keeps replacement and maintenance work from entering the same blind queue.
When to use
Choose this when service-line routing matters before the first callback starts.

Supports faster response when the buyer is waiting on a callback.
We usually find 3 Jobber handoff leaks on mechanical sites.
- We keep running into this: replacement and service leads are pushed into the same callback path.
- We keep running into this: the form never captures the system or issue clearly enough to route immediately.
Workflow path
Typical mechanical contractors + Jobber workflows
Urgent mechanical service request
Trigger
A customer has a service failure and wants help fast.
Capture
The website flags urgency, service type, and system detail before the callback begins.
Platform handoff
Jobber receives a cleaner Request or Client-first handoff so the office can move faster than a blind inbox flow.
Replacement estimate lead
Trigger
The buyer is evaluating a larger system replacement or planned project.
Capture
The website captures replacement context instead of treating it like routine service.
Platform handoff
Jobber stores the handoff with better detail for estimate and follow-up work.
Maintenance or service agreement intake
Trigger
A customer wants maintenance, tune-up, or agreement work.
Capture
The intake keeps lower-urgency work from clogging the urgent queue.
Platform handoff
The office sees the handoff in Jobber with enough detail to schedule the right next step.
Direct value

We will show where the current handoff breaks and what the website should capture before the lead reaches Jobber.
If we're still forcing the office to sort service, maintenance, and replacement leads by hand, the website is causing work it should remove.
