How to Integrate AutoBidder with Housecall Pro
Integrating your AutoBidder account with Housecall Pro allows your new leads to flow directly into your CRM — no more manual entry or missed follow-ups. This guide walks you step-by-step through connecting AutoBidder to Housecall Pro using Zapier, just like in the video tutorial.
Step 1: Set Up Your Zapier Integration
Before connecting to Housecall Pro, you’ll first need to enable Zapier in your AutoBidder account.
- Go to the Integrations tab inside your AutoBidder dashboard.
 - If you haven’t set up Zapier yet, click Configure Integration.
 - Click Create API Key and copy both your API Key and Server URL — you’ll need these later in Zapier.
 - Once saved, scroll down and click Create Workflow.
 
Step 2: Connect AutoBidder in Zapier
- In Zapier, click Create Zap.
 - For the Trigger App, search and select AutoBidder.
 - Choose the event “New Lead Submitted.”
 - Click Connect Account, then paste in your AutoBidder API Key and Server URL from Step 1.
 - Click Continue and test your trigger — Zapier will pull in a test lead from your account.
 
Step 3: Connect to Housecall Pro
Now it’s time to send that lead data into your Housecall Pro account.
- For your Action App, search for Housecall Pro and select it.
 - Choose Create Customer as the action event.
 - Zapier will open a popup asking for your Housecall Pro API Key.
 
- To find it, log into your Housecall Pro dashboard and look for the Apps or Integrations section.
 - If you have trouble finding it, Housecall Pro provides a direct link to generate your key — copy and paste it into Zapier.
 
Click Continue.
Step 4: Map Your Fields
Now, match the data from AutoBidder to the right fields in Housecall Pro:
- First Name: Name
 - Email: Email
 - Phone: Phone
 - Address: Full address from AutoBidder
 - (Optional) Tags: You can add tags to help organize new leads.
 
💡 Tip: If you want to split name or address into individual components (city, state, etc.), you can use Zapier’s Formatter Tool — though for simplicity, entering the full value works perfectly fine.
Step 5: Test and Publish
- Click Test Action in Zapier.
 - Head into your Housecall Pro dashboard and refresh the page — you should see your new test lead appear instantly.
 - Once confirmed, click Publish Zap.
 
That’s it — your integration is now live!
From now on, whenever a customer fills out your AutoBidder form, their contact details will automatically be created as a new customer in Housecall Pro. You can then assign them to jobs, send quotes, or start your follow-up workflow immediately.
Step 6: Test It in Real Time
To make sure it’s fully working:
- Go back to your AutoBidder dashboard and open a new calculator form.
 - Fill it out as a test user (name, email, address, etc.).
 - Submit the form.
 - Refresh Housecall Pro — your test lead should now appear as a new customer.
 
Troubleshooting Tips
- No data showing in Housecall Pro? Double-check that your Zap is published and that your API key and URL are correct.
 - Field mismatch or formatting issue? Try using Zapier’s built-in Formatter to separate data like names or addresses.
 - Duplicate entries? Ensure that your Zap only triggers on “New Lead Submitted,” not on updates or edits.
 
Why This Integration Matters
By connecting AutoBidder and Housecall Pro, you’re creating a seamless automation loop:
- Leads from your instant pricing calculator automatically sync into your CRM.
 - No more copy-pasting lead data.
 - Faster follow-ups and higher conversion rates.
 - Consistent data between your sales tool and your operations dashboard.
 
This integration keeps your workflow running smoothly — letting AutoBidder handle the front-end lead generation while Housecall Pro manages the backend scheduling and job tracking.
Q&A
Q: Do I need a paid Zapier account?
 A: The free Zapier plan is usually enough, as long as you only need one or two Zaps. If you plan to integrate multiple apps or add filters, you may need an upgraded plan.
Q: Can I send job details instead of just leads?
 A: Yes — once you master this setup, you can extend the Zap to automatically create jobs or estimates in Housecall Pro.
Q: Can I connect other CRMs the same way?
 A: Absolutely. The same process applies to Jobber, ServiceM8, or other platforms that support Zapier.

Final Thoughts
Connecting AutoBidder to Housecall Pro is one of the simplest and most effective ways to automate your lead management process. Once it’s set up, your sales pipeline runs hands-free — from online estimate to customer record — saving you hours every week and ensuring no lead slips through the cracks.
