Create a job
There are two ways to create a job: by converting an appointment or creating one manually. Here we will do it manually. For the appointment, just go to appointments.

The job view
Each job opens as a two-pane board. The left side is your text conversation with the customer — on their first job it shows your entire history together; after that it picks up where the last job ended. The right side has the next appointment, quick links, and the checklist.30 min out+Invoices›Notes›Tasks›People›Activities›My Apps› - 5

Use slash commands in the conversation
Use commands to work internally on the job:
- /note — Save a private note for your team
- /task — Create a task and assign follow-up work
- /ask — Ask the AI copilot a question about this job
Anything you type without a slash will be sent directly to the customer as a real text message, so be careful before sending.
Type / to see the full list of available commands, then choose one and give it a try.
