What do I need to connect Housecall Pro?

An API key from Housecall Pro → My Apps → All Apps → API Key Management (admin access). Mailr checks it against your account before saving, then a 3-step confirm wizard shows real field samples from your own jobs.

Do I have to set up webhooks myself?

Housecall Pro webhooks are signed, so the setup wizard shows you exactly where to paste Mailr's endpoint and signing secret. Skip it and everything still runs on the hourly sweep.

What does Mailr write back into Housecall Pro?

Captured leads, as customers with the “Mailr” lead source. Everything else is read-only: jobs, estimates, and invoices power triggers, Reactivation, and revenue attribution.

Direct mail on autopilot for Housecall Pro.

Paste one Housecall Pro API key and Mailr goes to work: jobs, estimates, and invoices fire postcards into the right neighborhoods the moment they change, landing-page leads land in Housecall Pro as customers, and approved estimates stop that home getting mail.

HOW IT CONNECTS

Three steps, and the first one’s the hardest.

01
Connect
Paste an API key from Housecall Pro → My Apps → All Apps → API Key Management — validated live against your account before it saves, so a typo can't half-connect.
02
Confirm
A 3-step confirm-only wizard shows real field samples from your own Housecall Pro account — you see your actual data before anything runs.
03
Run
Reactivation, automations, and Auto Follow-Up are live immediately.

The Connect Housecall Pro dialog in the Mailr app, opened from the Housecall Pro tile on the connect hub — Step 1 — paste the API key and Mailr checks it against your account before saving.

The Housecall Pro quick-setup wizard, step 2 of 3: where the job address lives in Housecall Pro, confirmed before anything runs — Step 2 — the job address, read straight from Housecall Pro’s own records and confirmed before anything runs.

WHAT FLOWS BOTH WAYS

Deep, not decorative. Four things run on the connection.

Part of Mailr’s 63 native trigger events across 12 CRMs — with revenue synced back so the attribution dashboard can put a dollar figure on every campaign.

Trigger events

Fire mail off real Housecall Pro activity — 13 native events, each filtered by custom fields: “only completed jobs over $8k.”

Reactivation

Mailr imports your past jobs and customers from Housecall Pro — by work status, or since a date — then mails the nearest neighbors of every one. The customers source remails your whole book, not just addresses with a finished job.

Lead delivery

Landing-page leads are created as Housecall Pro customers at capture time — “Mailr” as the lead source, deduped by email, anything that doesn't fit a field lands in the customer notes. Every lead deep-links straight to the customer in Housecall Pro.

Auto suppression

The moment an estimate is approved in Housecall Pro, that customer is removed from future mailing audiences. You never pay to advertise to someone you already closed.
