Log every completed Housecall Pro job to Google Sheets (for commissions and crew bonuses)
Each time a job is marked finished in Housecall Pro, add a row to a Google Sheet: customer, job ID, tags, address. Commission and bonus math becomes a filter, not a Friday-night chore.
Busy-work it kills: exporting or re-typing finished jobs every pay period to figure out tech commissions, crew bonuses or callbacks.
Good fit: Housecall Pro* shops with 2–20 techs that pay per job or per completed ticket.
What you need
- Housecall Pro with the Zapier app turned on (My Apps → App Store → Zapier → toggle; copy the API key shown there into Zapier).
- A Google Sheet with columns: Date, Customer, Job ID, Job tags, City.
- Zapier Free works if Sheets is the only action.
Build it in Zapier
- Trigger: Housecall Pro → New Completed Job.
- Action: Google Sheets → Create Spreadsheet Row. Map customer display name, job ID, job tags, service-address city. Housecall Pro's help article lists the fields the trigger sends.
- (Pro plan, optional) Action: Slack → Send Channel Message to #completed:
✅ {customer} finished.
Make and n8n versions (MAX plan)
Make: Housecall Pro community apps (Codex Solutions or Maxmel Tech) offer Watch Jobs / Watch Updated Jobs and Get a Job. Both need an HCP API key, which is MAX-only. Community-app fees may apply.
n8n: Turn on the HCP Webhooks app (MAX), subscribe to job.completed, and send it to an n8n Webhook node → Google Sheets node. Add an HTTP Request to the HCP API for fields the webhook doesn't carry.
Monthly cost
| Platform | Plan | Est. monthly cost | Assumptions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zapier | Free | $0 up to 100 completed jobs/mo | 1 task per job. Above that, or with the Slack step: Pro $19.99 annual / $29.99 monthly. |
| Make | Free / Core | $0–low + community-app fee; requires HCP MAX | ≈2 credits per job plus polling. ESTIMATE. |
| n8n | Cloud Starter / self-host | €20/mo annual or hosting; requires HCP MAX | 1 execution per job. |
Limits & gotchas
- Housecall Pro's Zapier app has only two triggers (Job Scheduled, Job Finished) and one action (Create Customer). Don't expect estimate or invoice triggers below MAX.
- Reopened and re-finished jobs may log twice. Dedupe on Job ID in the sheet.
