Question from Reddit user:
Hello
Anyone have experience running GHL automations and workflow for a cleaning company?
I also use jobber.
Thanks.

The short answer is:
Integrating GoHighLevel (GHL) with Jobber for a cleaning company is an excellent idea for lead nurturing and job management, but since there is typically no native, deep integration, most users rely on a third-party tool like Zapier to bridge the gap.
The core challenge is making GHL handle the initial marketing and lead qualification, and then passing the qualified lead to Jobber to handle the quoting, scheduling, and invoicing without data getting stuck or duplicated.
The quick solution involves setting up a Zapier trigger in GHL for a qualified lead (e.g., when they fill out a booking request form) and an action in Jobber to create a client or request a job.
The long answer is:
Your goal of connecting GoHighLevel and Jobber is spot-on for streamlining a service business like a cleaning company, as GHL handles the marketing automation, two-way communication, and initial pipeline, while Jobber is the field service management (FSM) expert for scheduling, routing, and payment processing.
The most common pitfall with the Zapier approach is that it often lacks real-time, bi-directional sync and custom data validation.
For example, if a job status changes in Jobber, you need that update back in GHL to trigger a follow-up review request or a re-engagement campaign, and Zapier can be slow or inconsistent with this.
An excellent solution for full control, real-time synchronization, and complete custom workflow support is to build a server-side data pipeline using the HighLevel API and the Jobber API, mediated by a custom script running on a platform like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or a similar service.
This pipeline is triggered by customer actions tracked via Google Tag Manager and a server-side container like Stape (which is perfect for cleaning up web data before it hits the backend).
For instance, when a lead submits a pricing request on your GHL landing page, the GTM and Stape setup sends that information to your custom script.
That script uses the HighLevel API to create the lead in GHL and immediately uses the Jobber API to create a new client and a request for a quote, all while ensuring custom fields, like the number of bedrooms or service type, are mapped perfectly between the two platforms.
Furthermore, the script can continuously monitor for status changes via the Jobber API (e.g., job status changes to “Completed”) and use the HighLevel API to update the corresponding contact’s stage in the GHL pipeline, automatically launching a Review Request text message sequence or an upsell workflow.
This API-to-API connection gives you a reliable, fully automated, and bi-directional workflow that is essential for running a high-volume service business efficiently.
