Invoice and Payment

Hello team, which API I have to use to get the Invoices and Payments details from serviceM8

Job Scheduled As MailChimp Trigger

Our wait times can be long. Therefore we have a MailChimp series that sends periodically to let the customer know they have not been forgotten. We need a method to stop the MailChimp series when we finally get the job scheduled. i.e. when we schedule the job we need a trigger to tell MailChimp to stop. If we can't do it via the simple act of scheduling, we also send a manual email template confirming the time, if the sending of this could be used. Alternatively, if the act of scheduling or sending this email could add a badge to the job (we could create a new "Scheduled" badge), could the addition of this badge be the trigger? Or some other way? Many thanks in advance. Happy to pay for a solution.

Job Allocations

Hi, I have used a few of the API calls successfully to get job information. Except for job allocations. When I submit a job allocation request, I receive a 200 OK response code. However, the request is blank.

Change the order of Action button in ServiceM8 App

Hi, I'm helping a client creating an add-on and but am having trouble figuring out how to rearrange where the action buttons appear on the App. Ideally, the new action button would be on the first window when I open up a job. However, as it is right now, I have to open the "+" button to access the job actions and then I have to scroll down all the way to the bottom to access the job. Is there a way to rearrange the job actions or even move it to the first window Thanks.

ascociating a job to a specific asset

I really need to be able to associate at a minimum job card to an asset that was worked on. Preferably tracking the labor with description along with materials used discretely as I may work on more than one piece of equipment on a given visit and invoice.

Error when trying to create a task (solved)

For anyone else getting this error when creating a task: I get the error: 400 related_object is not valid The docs do not say anything about having to include the related object (plus that field isn't marked as required) nor do the docs explain what a related object is. But... you do in fact need to include a related object, like the Job. You need to use two fields, like so: "related_object":"job", "related_object_uuid":"b668721f------" The "related_object" term appears to come from the endpoint name, for example, the two I used were: job.json jobcontact.json Hope that helps someone.

Submit Batch Changes for Materials

Hi, I can't find anywhere in the documentation that seems to allow for batch changed to materials. Does anyone know if this is possible, or if I will need to submit a request for each material that requires quantity updating? I have a client with over 1000 inventoried items, and if they purchase several different materials, say seven, from a single vendor, it seems like I will have to have their inventory system submit seven individual requests for a materials quantity update. I'd prefer, if possible, to just submit a single array or dictionary if possible. Thanks.

Automatically Display Job

Hi, I am just playing around with some ideas and features I have seen in the Xero integration where in Xero I can click a button and it will navigate to: https://go.servicem8.com/Xero_ViewInvoice?id=##jobUid## Which then in ServiceM8 becomes something like the following: https://go.servicem8.com/dbo_display_v2?&s_intAutomaticallyDisplayJobId=10&s_strObjectName=job&s_auth=1ab17d68f5e9c07249e8963ace05f7a8 and the ModifyJob modal is opens. My question is, if I know the Job Uid in my third party application, which I am developing for a client to automatically populate ServiceM8 with supplier purchases, can I too do the same external link button in my application? I have tried, to use the: https://go.servicem8.com/Xero_ViewInvoice?id=##jobUid## it works some of the time, but it seems to fail maybe when the auth ID has expired. Any clarity on this would be great
