Zapier Basics - Connecting Autobidder

How To Use Zapier With Autobidder

In this video, Nevin demonstrates how to connect AutoBidder to Zapier and, subsequently, link it to your CRM or other automation tools. This integration can streamline your workflow by automatically transferring leads and data from AutoBidder to your chosen CRM platform. Please note that as of August 3rd, this feature might still be in development and subject to changes.


Step 1: Creating a Zap in Zapier

First, Nevin suggests creating a Zap in Zapier, which acts as the bridge between AutoBidder and your CRM or automation tool. Nevin is also working on simplifying this process further with Zapier templates.


Step 2: Searching for AutoBidder

Inside Zapier, search for AutoBidder and select it as the trigger app. You can choose various trigger options, such as "Get Price" or "New Booking," depending on your requirements.


Step 3: Connecting AutoBidder

Connect your AutoBidder account by logging in with your credentials. Zapier will test the connection to ensure it's working correctly.


Step 4: Setting Up Google Sheets (or Your CRM)

Next, Nevin demonstrates how to set up Google Sheets to receive the data from AutoBidder. This step applies to Google Sheets, but you can apply the same process to your CRM. Create a new spreadsheet and define the fields you want to populate with AutoBidder data, such as name, phone, email, and address.


Step 5: Creating a New Spreadsheet Row

In Zapier, select "Sheets" as the action app and choose "Create New Spreadsheet Row." Connect your Google account and specify the target spreadsheet you created in the previous step.


Step 6: Mapping Data

Map the data fields from AutoBidder to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets (or your CRM). This ensures that the data is transferred accurately.


Step 7: Testing the Zap

Test the integration by running AutoBidder and checking if the data appears in Google Sheets. Note that AutoBidder's API updates data every five minutes, so it might not be instantaneous.


Step 8: Publishing the App

Once you've confirmed that the integration is working, you can publish the app with a name that suits your needs.


Step 9: Final Testing

To speed up the process for testing purposes, Nevin edits the Zap to retest it. This helps ensure that data is consistently transferred from AutoBidder to Google Sheets (or your CRM).



In this comprehensive guide, Nevin explains how to connect AutoBidder to Zapier and subsequently to your CRM or other automation tools. This integration can save you time and effort by automating lead management and data transfer. While the API updates every five minutes, this is usually sufficient for most users' needs. By following Nevin's steps, you can enhance your workflow and improve efficiency in your business operations.

Autobidder Makes It Easy For Your Customers to do Business With You

By Nevin Shields • November 4, 2025
The #1 Reason Customers Choose One Company Over Another: EASE Think about it — when a potential customer lands on your website, they’re usually comparing a few options. They want to get a price, understand what’s included, and book a service — fast. If your competitor makes it easier to get that information, you’ve already lost the sale before you ever had the chance to talk to them. That’s why Autobidder was built: To make it unbelievably easy for customers to do business with you.

How MeasureMap Turns Your Website into a 24/7 Sales Machine

By Nevin Shields • November 3, 2025
See What Your Customers See Imagine this: a potential customer lands on your website at 10 PM. They’re scrolling on their phone, wondering how much it might cost to get their house washed or roof cleaned. Normally, they’d fill out a “Get a Quote” form, close the tab, and wait for you to email them back — if they even remember who you are tomorrow. But this time, something different happens. They see a button that says “Measure My Home” . They click it, trace their roof or driveway right on your website using satellite view, and instantly get an accurate price — calculated automatically by your Autobidder system . They don’t have to call. They don’t have to wait. They see the number, they trust it, and they book. The Power of Instant Trust Most small businesses lose leads not because they’re too expensive — but because they’re too slow. Today’s customers expect instant results. They want to see, touch, and understand before they buy. MeasureMap bridges that gap. It gives customers something they can see — real measurements of their property. That simple moment of interaction builds trust. Now, instead of guessing, your lead knows: You’re using real data (not ballpark quotes). Your price makes sense. You’re a professional company that invests in better tools. When people trust your quote, they book faster. How It Changes Your Sales Process When you add MeasureMap to your Autobidder setup, your website becomes a complete sales engine: Customer measures their property – using Google Maps imagery right on your site. Autobidder calculates the price – instantly applying your custom formulas. Customer books the job – all without ever leaving your site. It’s the digital version of having your best salesperson available 24/7. And because Autobidder automatically syncs with your calendar, you never have to worry about overbooking or scheduling conflicts. Stand Out in a Crowded Market  Think about the last time you looked at your competitors’ websites. Most of them still have the same basic form: “Fill out your name, email, and address — we’ll get back to you.” In 2025, that’s not enough. When customers see your site has MeasureMap , it immediately separates you from the rest. It says: “We value your time. We use technology to make things easier.” That impression alone makes people choose you first. From Leads to Loyal Customers When a lead interacts with your Autobidder + MeasureMap combo, they’re not just getting a quote — they’re experiencing your brand. It feels smooth. Modern. Transparent. Even if they don’t book right away, they remember the experience. And when they do compare, they’ll come back to the company that made it effortless. The Bottom Line Adding MeasureMap to your Autobidder isn’t just about measuring properties — it’s about measuring the future of your business. More trust → higher conversion rates Faster quotes → more booked jobs Better customer experience → more repeat clients This is the new standard of professionalism for small home-service businesses. The ones who adapt now will lead the market in a year. Upgrade your Autobidder with MeasureMap today — and let your website show customers what modern service really looks like.

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.
