Calling the job material list via API (Python/Zapier)
Hi there,
I have a zapier integration that is meant to be calling the job materials list from servicem8 when a job gets assigned to a specific que. I can trigger the action when the job lands in the que and pass it along to my python script which is meant to provide a line item array of all the materials filtered by the uuid of the job which triggered my zap.
I am able to return only the first entry in the material list. Any idea why the rest of the array is being truncated?
e.g my python script:
```
import requests
# 'jobuuid' is the field containing the UUID in the input_data
job_uuid = input_data['jobuuid']
url = f"https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0/jobmaterial.json?%24filter=job_uuid eq {job_uuid}"
headers = {
"accept": "application/json",
"authorization": "Basic MYCREDENTIALS"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
materials_data = response.json()
# Return the materials_data to pass it to the next steps in Zap
return materials_data
else:
return {
"error": f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}"
}
```
This is my return:
```
uuid: ccec4318-0077-4082-a309-410abb46e9c5
tax_rate_uuid: da374289-575b-4e78-bb6a-1de9409945cb

material_uuid: 16434f99-94d1-408c-aadb-f7337fcddc3b
sort_order: 0
cost: 56.3455
displayed_cost: 61.9800
id: RqNp2R6aEc50ExK10lucvpcXishvE2A5
runtime_meta
memory_used_mb: 47
duration_ms: 710
logs
```
I was expecting a json array to be returned however I am only getting which ever material is at the top of the list.
Really hoping I can generate the full list, would have really useful stock reordering applications.
Thanks for any help!

API fields - unsure which ones to use
Hello,
We are using API and are bit lost figuring out the exact API fields that are for jobs:
- duration
- booking date
- booking time
We went through here: <https://developer.servicem8.com>
But it is not very clear as the fields we have tried did not do us any good.
Thank you!

Job card emailing
Hi, I have a few issues I need sorted ASAP for a clean and scalable system.
1. On the job cards, bottom left where the job contacts are, I need to be able to easily add up to 5 tenants on top of the billing contact and property manager. This is because I send a form 9 Entry Notice to all tenants before I perform a smoke alarm appointment.
2. Now when I click to "Email" button on the same job card, It doesn't display all the contacts available. Only the billing contact and 1x Tenant. I need to be able to send one email thread to all the attached tenants. BONUS: currently its also super difficult to determine the difference between each contact title (billing contact, tenant, property manager). As it only displays their names and not a title next to it. So essentially, my employees have to guess who's, who when selecting the contacts for email. It would be great it there was either a title next to the contact or have them colour coded etc. (currently Im putting the title "Tenant" in the first name field and their full name in the second field. Not great as you can imagine).
I feel this would be way easier to explain via a video call or even a screen recording I can email through. This is a crucial part of my operations and I 100% need a solution. I've used ServiceM8 for many years and hope to continue. Please work with me to make this possible. Thanks legends!!

Job Templates Upon Creation
We are pushing jobs into ServiceM8 through the API.
<https://developer.servicem8.com/reference/post-job-create>
Is there any chance to add Job templates to the API endpoint so we can pre determine the correct template to apply to a new job?

Can I add Material Items List to Quotes and Invoicing for a respective Job # from external Tool by any means?
We have a 3rd party seperate tool called Measure to track all the Materials, Quantity and related cost for a Job , it becomes redundant to enter the same list in Quotes and Invoicing Tab. So, we are wondering what could be the right direction to automate this.
Guidance is appreciated.

API - Job Created Date
Hi.
I can't seem to find the date that a job was created in the data model.
On job.json there is a "date" field but it doesn't have the time component. I can determine who created a job from created_by_staff_uuid but can't find when it was created.
Am I missing something really obvious?
Thanks in advance.
