The job software starts after the lead is won

Housecall Pro is built to run the work once it's booked. But people message several businesses at once and book whoever answers first, and while you're on a job, a new inquiry can wait for hours.

How it works

  1. A customer messages you

    From your website chat or WhatsApp, at any hour. CustomerFlows notes which ad or page they came from.

  2. The AI replies in seconds

    The first reply arrives in seconds. It answers questions from what you've told it about your business.

  3. It asks your questions

    The job, the place, how soon: whatever you need to know before you call back.

  4. The lead is ready for you

    The conversation and the answers wait in your inbox, and the lead sits in your pipeline, tied to its source.

How CustomerFlows does it

Where Housecall Pro is the better fit

Housecall Pro is built for the day of the job and after it: a dispatch board, a drag-and-drop calendar, invoices and payments in the field, and tools to bring past customers back. If your inquiries are already answered fast, start there.

Where CustomerFlows is the better fit

Every lead answered before it reaches dispatch. The AI lead qualifier replies to new website chat and WhatsApp inquiries in seconds, including nights and weekends, and asks the questions you'd ask. On WhatsApp, customers can tap menus and buttons instead of typing.

Photos before the callback. Photos and documents sent on WhatsApp show in the conversation with a preview, so you see the problem before you call back. Archived media is kept for 30 days.

Which ads bring jobs. Attribution carries the Google or Meta click from the first visit to the won deal.

Using both

CustomerFlows handles the inquiry up to the won deal, and Housecall Pro handles the job. There is no direct connection between the two today, so you move won customers across yourself or with a CSV export. For a similar setup with Jobber, see CustomerFlows vs Jobber.

Why speed decides who gets the work

In a study of more than 2,000 companies, businesses that tried to contact a new lead within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as those that waited longer.

Questions

Can I use CustomerFlows and Housecall Pro together?

Yes. CustomerFlows answers, qualifies and tracks each lead up to the won deal, and Housecall Pro keeps scheduling, dispatch, invoicing and payments. There is no direct connection between the two today, so you move won customers across yourself or with a CSV export.

Does CustomerFlows replace Housecall Pro?

No. CustomerFlows doesn't schedule, dispatch, quote or invoice. It makes sure each lead is answered and qualified before it gets that far.

How fast does the AI reply?

The AI's first reply to a new inquiry arrives in seconds, at any hour, on your website chat and on WhatsApp.

Can I bring my contacts from Housecall Pro?

Yes. Export your contacts from Housecall Pro as a CSV file and import them into CustomerFlows. Every plan includes unlimited contacts.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new workspace gets 14 days free on the Growth plan, with every feature. No credit card is needed to start. Before the trial ends, you add a card and choose your plan; nothing is charged unless you do. If you choose Starter, everything you set up is kept and your automations pause until you move to Growth or Scale.
