What Is JobTread?

JobTread is an all-in-one construction management platform. It includes sales and estimating tools, project management features, job financials (budgeting, job costing, invoicing), and a customer portal. JobTread serves home builders, remodelers, pool builders, roofers, and commercial contractors. It integrates natively with QuickBooks, Stripe, and Zapier.

Why Connect JobTread to Dashello?

Construction companies run on tight margins. JobTread gives you deep visibility into each project's budget, costs, and timeline. Dashello gives you the big picture - how all your projects are performing alongside sales, marketing, and financial data from your other tools. Together, they let you spot trends across projects, identify cost overruns early, and make faster decisions about resource allocation.

How to Set Up the JobTread Integration

JobTread has a native Zapier integration, making it easy to connect to Dashello. Here's the step-by-step:

Get your Dashello API key

Log into Dashello at app.dashello.co. Go to Settings → API Keys and click Generate New Key. Name it "JobTread Integration". Copy the key - it starts with dash_.

Connect JobTread to Zapier

JobTread has a Zapier integration available through their marketplace. Go to the JobTread Integrations page and find the Zapier integration. Accept the invite to add JobTread as a connected app in your Zapier workspace.

Create a Zap from JobTread to Dashello

In Zapier, create a new Zap. Set the trigger to JobTread and choose an event - for example, "New Project" or "Change Order Created." Connect your JobTread account and test the trigger.

Add an action step. Search for Webhooks by Zapier, select it, and choose POST as the action event.

Map your JobTread data to Dashello metrics

Configure the Webhooks action with these settings:

URL: https://dashello.co/api/ingest/metric
Method: POST
Headers:
Authorization: Bearer dash_your_api_key
Content-Type: application/json
Data: JSON payload

Here's an example payload that sends a new project's budget as a metric:

{
  "metric": "New Project Budget",
  "value": 250000,
  "source": "jobtread",
  "metadata": {
    "project_name": "1. Smith Residence",
    "project_type": "new construction"
  }
}

Use Zapier's data mapping panel (the + button) to pull in dynamic values from your JobTread trigger.

Test and activate

Click Test & Review in Zapier. Zapier sends a test request to Dashello. Check your Dashello dashboard - the metric should update. If data doesn't appear, check your Inbox for unmapped events. Turn on your Zap and JobTread data will flow automatically.

Troubleshooting

JobTread trigger not firing

Make sure your JobTread account is properly connected in Zapier. Test the trigger step first before adding the Dashello action. You can also check the JobTread Zapier page for available triggers.

Data sent but not appearing in dashboard

Check your Inbox in Dashello. If the metric name doesn't match an existing metric box, data is stored there. Adjust the metric field in your JSON payload to match an existing metric name on your dashboard.
