When you get a new lead from Thumbtack, Housecall Pro will automatically send a text and an Omnichannel chat from you to the lead. Remember, the faster you respond to a lead, the more likely you are to convert it into a paying customer. We send the first text, but you’ll want to quickly continue the conversation with your lead. |  |
Once you have communicated with the lead, you can easily copy the lead to a job or estimate:

And that’s it! By using the Thumbtack and Housecall Pro integration, you’ll eliminate duplicate entry and increase your conversion rate of leads into active customers.

Chat with Consumers on the Thumbtack App
In today's day and age, consumers expect businesses to meet them where they're at. This means communicating with them on the same platform where they initiated the conversation. That's why we have enabled Omnichannel, which allows you to chat with a customer through Thumbtack while never having to leave your HCP Inbox.
When you get a new lead from Thumbtack, and we send an automatic text and Omnichannel chat to the customer, that will begin the thread of communication between you and them. They will be messaging you from Thumbtack, and you will be able to reply right there in your HCP Inbox.
 This is what the consumer will see in Thumbtack. |  This is what you will see from your HCP Inbox. The small Thumbtack logo beneath the messages indicates that you are communicating with someone using Thumbtack. |
Things to keep in mind:
You must have a Thumbtack account connected in order to use Omnichannel
To chat with a consumer, that consumer would have to first send a lead
By using Omnichannel, you will be able to manage more conversations from the same place, and more importantly, convert more leads.
How to Disconnect Thumbtack from your HCP Account
