Your client ticks the options they want, signs the quote and Zapier creates the service job in simPRO with the customer, the site and the approved work. The job is typed once, in the quote, so it matches what the client said yes to.
simPRO is job management software for trade and service contractors, covering quotes, jobs, scheduling, stock and invoicing. QuoteCloud customers use it to deliver the work and use QuoteCloud for the sectioned, option-rich quotes their clients review and sign online.
Each one is a trigger in one app and the steps that follow in the other. Build them as they are, or change any step.

HVAC
Halden Climate Co.
Halden Climate Co. quotes ducted heat pump systems with three packages to choose from and optional extras in the price table. When Claire and Tom Hadley picked a system, both signed and paid the deposit by card, Zapier found them in simPRO and created the service job. The installers start from the same system and extras the Hadleys approved.
Harrowfield Fire & Security sends defect rectification quotes after each routine inspection at Calder House. Simone Achebe ticks the defects she wants fixed and accepts the quote online. A Zap on Document Accepted finds Calder House as a site in simPRO and opens a service job there, so the work is booked against the right building.
Tallowwood Solar & Storage sends solar and battery proposals with the system size, inverter and battery options laid out for the homeowner. Once Jess and Arlo Penhaligon signed, the Zap fetched the signed PDF and attached it to their job in simPRO. The install crew sees exactly what was agreed without asking the office for a copy.

FAQ
QuoteCloud and simPRO: questions
How does QuoteCloud connect to simPRO?
Through QuoteCloud's Zapier app, with no code to write. You choose a QuoteCloud trigger, such as Document Signing Complete, then simPRO actions such as Find or Create Individual Customer and Create Service Job, and map the fields. Each Zap is a one-way automation that runs every time its trigger fires.
Will the job match the options the client chose?
The client ticks options in QuoteCloud, and the Zap runs after they sign, so it works from the approved document. You decide in Zapier which fields go into the job, such as the client, the site and a description of the approved work. Test with a quote that has optional items to check the mapping.
Can I track the quote and its job?
Yes. QuoteCloud shows when a quote is sent, first viewed and signed, and the job it created sits in simPRO with its own status. The two aren't kept matching after the job is created: later changes in simPRO don't update the QuoteCloud document, and changes to a signed document don't update the job.
Why attach the signed PDF in the same Zap?
Generate or Fetch Document PDF Link gives Zapier a link to the document's PDF that only works for a short time. Put simPRO's Attach File to Job right after it in the same Zap, with Find Job in between to pick the right job, so the file is attached while the link is valid.
What does it cost?
QuoteCloud's Zapier app is on the Essentials plan and up. Each document created through Zapier or the API carries a fee of US$2.00, falling to $1.80 and $1.60 at higher volumes. Zaps that only create simPRO jobs or attach files don't create QuoteCloud documents, so they carry no document fee. You also need a simPRO account and a Zapier plan.
