A booked call can land in Jobber as a job.
Booking is off until you turn it on. Once it is on, Wakeman offers only the time windows you choose, so you decide exactly what a caller can be booked into, and each booked job lands in Jobber with the customer, the checked address and the arrival time. Wakeman checks occupied time in your connected Jobber calendar before offering or confirming a booking. If it cannot read that calendar, it takes a request for your team to confirm. Your dashboard shows whether each job reached Jobber or needs a look.

Five steps, and you see it if one fails.
It answers, and checks the address
Name, callback number, what is broken, and a service address checked against a real address database. If the address cannot be confirmed, nothing goes into Jobber at all — a job at an address nobody can find is worse than no job.
It looks for the customer you already have
It finds existing customers by phone number, so a repeat caller doesn’t become a duplicate customer. If they have several properties, it picks the one whose street matches what the caller just said.
New callers get a client and a property together
Jobber needs a property before a job can exist, so both are created at once from the checked address.
The job carries what was agreed
The job title and the arrival time the caller agreed to go with it, and the job is assigned to your on-call tech when that tech is linked to a Jobber user. If Jobber turns the job down or it clashes with something, you see that on the call.
You can see whether it worked
When Jobber sends back a link to the job, Wakeman keeps it with the call. If a text or a Jobber job did not go through, your dashboard says so instead of pretending it did.
Jobber already answers my phone.
It does, and it works differently. Jobber’s Receptionist listens for keywords you set, such as “no heat” or “burst pipe”, then texts you or transfers the call to one contact. It runs on a dedicated Jobber phone number.
Wakeman is built only for the trades. It is set up for your trade and your own list of services, so it sorts a no-heat call from a tune-up. For gas, carbon monoxide, a downed power line, fire or smoke, a medical emergency, a child or pet locked in a car, water near electrics, a structural collapse, major flooding and sewage inside, it gives safety steps written in advance and tries your on-call phone during the call. Your customers keep calling the number they already know. Try both on your own calls and compare.
Jobber’s Receptionist is included, with unlimited use, on the Plus plan. On other plans it is a $29 a month add-on. One help-centre article says the add-on includes 30 conversations, then 79¢ each; another says 100 conversations a month. (Checked on Jobber’s own pages, October 20, 2026.)
So the question is not which one is cheaper. Ask any company, us included: how many calls became booked jobs, how many of those jobs failed to reach Jobber, and how many calls it can take at once? An answer rate on its own tells you very little.

Questions Jobber shops ask
Does Wakeman replace Jobber?
No. Jobber stays where your jobs live. Wakeman starts by taking jobs down for you to confirm. If you switch booking on, it offers only the time windows you choose in Wakeman — it checks occupied time in your connected Jobber calendar — and each confirmed job lands in Jobber with the customer and the checked address.
Jobber already has an AI Receptionist. Why pay more?
Jobber's listens for keywords you set, such as “no heat”, then texts you or transfers the call to one contact. Wakeman is built only for the trades: it sorts a no-heat call from a tune-up, gives safety steps written in advance for ten hazards, tries your on-call phone during the call, keeps your own number, and writes booked jobs into Jobber too. Try both on your own calls: does it ask the right questions for your trade, reach whoever is on call, book the right time, and handle an emergency?
How do I connect it?
On Pro or Max, from the integrations page in your Wakeman dashboard. You sign in to Jobber and approve the connection on Jobber's own screen. The access Jobber gives us is stored encrypted and never sent back to your browser.
Can it assign the job to the right technician?
Yes. It reads your Jobber team, so the on-call technician you set in Wakeman maps to a real Jobber user and the job arrives already assigned rather than sitting unassigned until morning.
What happens if the caller will not give a full address?
Nothing goes into Jobber. The call is logged and flagged for you to follow up. Any recording, transcript and call summary depend on the caller's consent. Wakeman will not create a Jobber job at an address it could not confirm.
What if I use Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan instead?
We started with Jobber because Jobber lets any company connect to it. Housecall Pro is not generally available yet: it only lets approved partners connect, and we aren't one yet. Wakeman does not connect to ServiceTitan. If you use other software, talk to us before you sign up rather than after.
