FieldPulse Integration: Auto-Respond and Sync Leads from Yelp & Thumbtack

FieldPulse is built for field service businesses—HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting, and other trades that run jobs, manage technicians, and track everything from estimate to invoice.

Auto-respond.com connects your Yelp and Thumbtack lead sources to FieldPulse automatically, so every new lead gets an instant response and flows directly into your FieldPulse pipeline—without manual data entry.

The Problem: Lead Data Lives in Two Places

Without integration, here’s what typically happens:

1. Lead arrives on Yelp → You respond (eventually) → Customer books
2. You open FieldPulse → Re-type the customer’s name, phone, address
3. You create a job or estimate → Add notes about their request
4. You assign to a tech → Set follow-up reminders

This manual process takes 10–15 minutes per lead. For a business getting 30 Yelp/Thumbtack leads per month, that’s 5–7 hours of administrative work every month—before you’ve done any actual work.

With auto-respond.com + FieldPulse integration, all of this happens automatically and in seconds.

How the FieldPulse Integration Works

Step 1 — Lead Arrives New message received on Yelp or Thumbtack

Step 2 — Instant Response Auto-respond sends a personalized reply within 60 seconds

Step 3 — FieldPulse Customer Created Customer profile created in FieldPulse with name, phone, email, and address

Step 4 — Job/Lead Record Created A new job or lead is created in FieldPulse with:

• Source: “Yelp” or “Thumbtack”
• Job type based on inquiry content
• Notes from the inquiry message
• Status: “New Lead”

Step 5 — AI Conversation Synced All messages between the customer and auto-respond AI are added to the FieldPulse job notes

Step 6 — Appointment Synced If the AI books an appointment, it’s added to the FieldPulse schedule and assigned to the appropriate tech

Step 7 — Technician Notification Assigned tech receives notification of the new job via FieldPulse
