Glass Repair Installation websites for Servicem8 that stop handoff leaks
Problem / Fix
What's broken on most glass repair & installation websites
What breaks first
What's broken on most glass repair & installation websites
We are frustrated that most sites capture contact details but not the inputs needed to quote and schedule efficiently. Without job type, rough measurements, and timing, the first follow-up becomes discovery before next steps can be scheduled.
Cost of delay
A weak glass repair & installation handoff can cost the estimate slot and the follow-up sequence that should have started immediately.
Industry context lives at /for/glass-repair-installation.
What the connected website changes
What a ServiceM8-connected website does instead
The site captures scope before the handoff starts. On the native path, ServiceM8’s Web Enquiry Form can send leads into the ServiceM8 Inbox. On the custom path, the website uses the documented ServiceM8 API to create Company/Contact and Job records so ServiceM8 receives structured detail rather than a vague message.
Native path
Embed the ServiceM8 Web Enquiry Form (or WordPress plugin) for a quick website-to-Inbox handoff.
API or managed intake
Use a custom intake form to capture job type and measurements, then create the ServiceM8 records via the REST API.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native ServiceM8 handoff (Web Enquiry Form)
Embed ServiceM8’s Web Enquiry Form snippet (or WordPress plugin) so enquiries go straight to the ServiceM8 Inbox.
When to use
When the business wants a quick, no-code intake path and can accept a basic embedded form.
Custom Glass Repair & Installation intake + ServiceM8 API
Capture job type, measurements, and timing first, then a server-side integration uses ServiceM8’s documented REST API to create Company/Contact and Job records with notes attached.
When to use
When the intake needs structured scope capture or multi-step qualification beyond the native embedded form.
