How to Sync Rentvine Work Orders with Jobber Automatically
Rentvine does not have a native, direct integration with Jobber for syncing work orders. However, you can connect them using a specialized tool like Lumberjack, or by using Rentvine’s open RESTful API and Zapier to build a custom workflow. New work orders become Jobber jobs automatically, and status updates, photos, and invoices flow back to Rentvine without anyone re-keying them.
Rentvine does not have a native, direct integration with Jobber for syncing work orders. However, you can connect them using a specialized tool like Lumberjack, or by using Rentvine’s open RESTful API and Zapier to build a custom workflow. New work orders become Jobber jobs automatically, and status updates, photos, and invoices flow back to Rentvine without anyone re-keying them.
Here are the most effective ways to connect the two platforms, depending on your workflow.
1. A managed integration (easiest)
A managed integration handles the whole connection for you, so you do not build or maintain anything.
Lumberjack: A connective layer between Rentvine and the field service platforms contractors already use, including Jobber, ServiceTitan, Simpro, FieldPulse, and Praxedo. You connect your Rentvine account once and each contractor authorizes their Jobber account. From then on, new Rentvine work orders create Jobber jobs automatically, and the contractor’s status updates, photos, and invoices sync back to Rentvine in real time. It runs invisibly in the background and requires no change in how contractors work.
2. Zapier (no code, simple workflows)
For low volume and simple needs, Rentvine’s Zapier integration can push new work orders into Jobber without writing code.
Trigger: a new work order is created in Rentvine.
Action: create a corresponding job in Jobber with the property address, description, and priority mapped across.
Zapier is good at one-directional job creation. It does not handle the round trip well, so status updates, photos, and invoices generated in Jobber will not flow back to Rentvine on their own.
3. Build it yourself with the Rentvine API (most control)
Rentvine offers an open RESTful API, so a developer can read and write work order data directly: the property, the description, the priority, and the status.
This gives you full control, but it is a real software project. You have to keep a stable link between each work order and its Jobber job, sync status in both directions, resolve conflicts when both sides change at once, and avoid duplicate jobs when a webhook fires twice. It is buildable, but someone has to build it and own it as both APIs change.
Why there is no native Rentvine and Jobber integration
Rentvine is a property management system. It is where work orders are created, owners and tenants are tracked, and maintenance requests originate. Jobber is field service management software built for contractors, covering scheduling, quoting, dispatching, and invoicing the technicians who do the work.
The two tools serve different sides of the same job. Rentvine knows what needs fixing and which property. Jobber knows who is going to fix it and when. Neither vendor sells a connector between them, so without one, someone on your team is the human bridge, copying details out of Rentvine into Jobber and back again.
Here is the part most people miss. Contractors are not being difficult by not updating Rentvine. They are simply working in another system. Every schedule change, status update, photo, invoice, and timestamp already exists in Jobber. The problem is that none of it flows back to Rentvine automatically.
How Lumberjack syncs Rentvine work orders with Jobber
A persistent link between every work order and its Jobber job
The core challenge in any sync between a property management system and a field service platform is keeping a stable, permanent connection between a single Rentvine work order and the corresponding job in Jobber, even as that job moves through quoting, scheduling, completion, and invoicing. Lumberjack maintains a dedicated mapping for each work order, created once and held for the life of the job, so every later update resolves back to the same work order.
Bidirectional sync across the full lifecycle
When a work order is created or updated in Rentvine, Lumberjack pushes it to Jobber. When the contractor updates the job in Jobber, by scheduling it, completing it, or attaching photos and notes, Lumberjack syncs that progress back to the Rentvine work order. Property managers see live status without leaving Rentvine, and contractors work entirely in the tool they already use.
Photos, invoices, and job data flow back automatically
Before and after photos, status updates, invoices, and timestamps all sync back into Rentvine without any contractor action. Photos land on the work order, status updates appear as the contractor updates their own system, and invoices sync once they are generated in Jobber.
Safe handling of duplicates and conflicts
Webhooks fire more than once and networks hiccup. Lumberjack ties each incoming event to a unique identifier, so the same event arriving twice produces one result, not two. A conflict-resolution policy decides which change wins when both systems edit the same job, so the two stay in agreement instead of overwriting each other.
Multi-contractor support
Property managers rarely work with a single contractor. Lumberjack routes each work order to the right Jobber account among many, so a property management operation can connect its whole roster of contractors through one integration rather than a separate build per contractor.
What this means for your operation
The manual copy-paste between Rentvine and Jobber disappears. Work orders created in Rentvine show up as jobs in Jobber automatically. Progress made in Jobber, including photos and invoices, appears in Rentvine without anyone re-keying it. Rentvine stays the system of record, contractors keep working in Jobber, and the connection keeps working as your volume grows.
Frequently asked
Does Rentvine have a Jobber integration?
Rentvine does not have a native, direct integration with Jobber. But because Rentvine has an open RESTful API and supports Zapier, the two can be connected so work orders flow into Jobber automatically and status updates, photos, and invoices flow back. Lumberjack provides this as a managed integration.
What is the easiest way to connect Rentvine and Jobber?
A managed integration like Lumberjack is the easiest path. You connect Rentvine once and each contractor authorizes their Jobber account, and the sync runs automatically in both directions. For simple, one-directional needs, Rentvine’s Zapier integration can push new work orders into Jobber without code.
Can I use Zapier to connect Rentvine and Jobber?
Yes, for simple workflows. Rentvine’s Zapier integration can create a Jobber job when a new work order is created in Rentvine. Zapier handles one-directional job creation but does not sync status updates, photos, or invoices back from Jobber to Rentvine.
What flows back from Jobber into Rentvine?
With a full bidirectional integration, status updates, before and after photos, timestamps, and invoices all sync back to the matching Rentvine work order, without any action from the contractor.
Will my contractors have to change how they work?
No. Contractors keep working entirely in Jobber. A managed integration runs in the background and moves their data into Rentvine automatically.
Can it handle multiple contractors?
Yes. A managed integration routes each work order to the right contractor’s Jobber account, so a property management operation can connect its whole roster of contractors through one integration.
