This is what I am trying to do: I am pulling data from GoHighLevel form submission using webhook into Zapier. No problem here. I am then trying to use that data to create a job within JobNimbus. When I attempt to map that data into JobNimbus with JobNimbus standard fields it works great; however, it is not giving me access to the many custom fields we have put into JobNimbus jobs. I am thinking that we are going to have to utilize the JobNimbus API directly to handle these custom fields but I have no experience or idea how to make that happen in Zapier. I have all the JobNimbus docs on their API but I don’t understand how to do this in Zapier. It is critical that I get this done immediately for at least 5 custom fields. Any information or instruction or help on doing this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ​@Brian Howard,

 

I took a look at JobNimbus’s API Documentation and I think you can solve for this by using:

 

App: Webhooks by Zapier

Type of Request: PUT - this indicates your updating a job instead of creating

Endpoint (Make sure you replace Jnid): 

https://app.jobnimbus.com/api1/jobs/<jnid>

Body:

{
"name":"Kenny G's Roof",
"record_type_name": "Job",
"status_name": "Lead",
"geo": {
"lon": -88.687277,
"lat": 37.149574
},
"primary":{
"id":"he2d2"
}
}

Try inputting your custom field below status name, keep in mind api names will slightly differ from field names. For example, “Job Priority” would probably be “job_priority”.

 

I think you’ll find this documentation helpful: https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/3919598/S11PpG4x#b42b08dc-de62-4648-ace7-7a65cfeceee2

 

Hope this helps!
