Integration guide

The Property Meld + Jobber integration, explained.

BirchSight is a purpose-built Property Meld → Jobber integration for maintenance vendors. It reads the meld notification emails you already receive and creates the matching Jobber job within minutes — client matched, address normalized, tenant attached — then posts your scheduling updates back to the Meld thread so your response numbers stay sharp.

How do you connect Property Meld to Jobber?

Setup takes about ten minutes end to end: connect Gmail, connect Jobber, done. There is nothing to install and nothing your property manager has to set up.

01
Create a BirchSight account

Request access at birchsight.com/waitlist. Founding-cohort onboarding is hands-on: the founder walks you through setup on a 15-minute screen-share.

02
Connect Gmail

Authorize read-only access to incoming Property Meld threads and send-only access on those same threads. BirchSight never sees mail outside the senders you allowlist and can never delete or move anything.

03
Connect Jobber

One OAuth click. BirchSight maps your existing Jobber clients and properties — your Jobber data stays the source of truth.

04
Watch the first melds flow

New Property Meld emails become Jobber jobs within minutes — or Jobber requests when the meld asks for an estimate. BirchSight starts in read-only mode: it drafts, you approve, until you flip outbound on.

What exactly lands in Jobber?

Every meld is translated into the right Jobber object with the context your crew needs — not a bare title you have to re-research.

When Property Meld sendsBirchSight creates in Jobber
An approved work orderA job — client matched to the property-management company, property address normalized to your existing Jobber property, tenant name and phone attached, work-order ID linked.
A request for an estimateA request, so your quoting flow stays intact. An approved quote converts to the job with the same client and property.
A tenant or PM reply on the threadThe context stays linked to the same job — and when you schedule in Jobber, the status update posts back to the original Meld email thread automatically.

How fast is it — and why speed is the whole point

Melds land in Jobber within minutes of the email arriving (typically under five, as of June 2026). For context, Property Meld's 2025 Top Pro of the Year posted a 0.5-hour average acceptance time (published February 2026) — and property managers see vendor speed metrics when they decide who gets the next job. With the meld already sitting in Jobber, you respond before most vendors have opened the email. How those numbers are calculated is covered in our Property Meld vendor scorecard guide.

Why not Zapier or an email parser?

Zapier has no Property Meld app, so there is nothing to connect directly — Property Meld offers its API to property-management companies, not self-serve to vendors. Generic email parsers can scrape a subject line but break on layout changes, can't tell a work order from an estimate request, and can't post your updates back to the Meld thread. We wrote up the honest comparison in Property Meld + Zapier: what works and what doesn't.

Questions vendors ask before connecting

Does my property manager have to approve or install anything?
No. BirchSight works from the notification emails Property Meld already sends you. There is no Meld API key, no portal plugin, and nothing for your PM to configure — they just see faster acceptance and automatic status updates.
Do I need a Property Meld API key to connect to Jobber?
No — and as a vendor you generally can't get one. Property Meld's API is offered to property-management companies and select partners, not self-serve to vendors. BirchSight sidesteps that entirely by reading the meld emails you already receive.
What happens to melds that ask for an estimate?
They become Jobber requests instead of jobs, so your quoting flow stays intact. When the quote is approved, the work converts with the same client and property attached.
What does the integration cost?
Flat monthly pricing with a founding-customer rate while we onboard the first cohort, and the first two weeks are free. Compare that to the $1,000+/month a trades VA charges to re-type melds by hand (rates observed June 2026).
Can I turn it off?
Anytime. It's your Gmail and your Jobber — revoke access from your Google account and the connector stops within seconds. Everything it created stays in your Jobber account.
