In this article, we'll cover the basics of our integration with JobNimbus. From what it does, to how to get started, and even frequently asked questions.
Integration Basics
What does the integration do?
Pull Contacts: Every hour, on the hour, the integration will pull newly created or updated contacts from JobNimbus.
Push Communications: Anytime a communication such as a call, text, or email takes place within Hatch, we’ll send that information back to JobNimbus’s Contact's Notes OR Job Notes.
Note: This integration does not offer Edit your Contacts at this time. If you update the First and Last Name, Email, or Phone Number in Hatch, that change will not be reflected in your CRM. Update any contact information in the CRM, and wait for it to sync back to Hatch.
What information does the integration pull into Hatch?
We pull in any contact details such as Name, Phone Number, and Email from the Contact Record. This is what we'll use to launch a contact into campaign.
We also pull in Jobs. Those are added to the Contact Details in Hatch. This will include things like Address, Quote Amount, Sales Representative. With these details, we can make your messaging extremely customized.

Creating Audiences to Add to Campaigns

Here’s a couple of examples of what we’ll talk about...
- Correctly defining contacts statuses in your CRM
