Sold job auto-briefed to production within a minute

When a job reaches the 'Sold' milestone in AccuLynx within about a minute, the agent retrieves the full job and contact details, posts a formatted production briefing to #production on Slack, creates a crew scheduling event in Google Calendar, and appends the job to the production tracker in Google Sheets. Production has full visibility before the sales rep drives away from the property.

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    120 min / week
    Manual lead intake and data entry

    Reps or office staff copy homeowner names, addresses, and phone numbers from spreadsheets, emails, and paper sheets into AccuLynx one by one — on storm days this takes hours and still produces duplicates.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates contacts and leads automatically from any source

    When a storm-event list, web form, or canvassing app delivers a new homeowner address, the agent deduplicates against AccuLynx and creates the contact and lead — reps work the list, not the data entry.

  • Marketing
    90 min / week
    Manual lead-source performance reporting

    The marketing manager exports leads from AccuLynx, filters by source, cross-references against ad spend in a separate spreadsheet, and manually builds a cost-per-lead table — a 90-minute task every week.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent posts lead-source performance reports automatically

    Every week the agent retrieves AccuLynx lead and job data by source, calculates cost-per-lead and close rate per channel, and posts the table to Slack — no manual export or spreadsheet build.

  • Customer Support
    60 min / week
    Manual homeowner scheduling calls

    The office manager reviews AccuLynx for newly scheduled jobs each morning and manually calls or emails every homeowner to confirm the crew date and arrival window — 15 minutes per job on average.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent confirms homeowner appointments the moment a job is scheduled

    Within about a minute of a job entering the Scheduled milestone, the agent sends the homeowner a crew arrival confirmation email — no manual call list for the office manager.

  • Human Resources
    40 min / week
    Manual crew certification check before dispatch

    The production coordinator manually checks each upcoming job's trade type, opens the crew roster spreadsheet, and confirms the assigned crew is certified for that trade type — a cross-reference that takes 20 minutes every scheduling cycle.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent validates crew-to-trade-type assignments before dispatch

    The HR Agent checks every scheduled job's trade type against the certified crew list each week and flags mismatches before dispatch — no specialized job reaches an uncertified crew.

  • Finance
    60 min / week
    Manual invoice creation from AccuLynx completed jobs

    The billing admin checks AccuLynx for newly completed jobs each morning, notes the job value and homeowner details, opens QuickBooks, and manually creates each invoice — an average of 20 minutes per job across logging and data entry.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent triggers QuickBooks invoice the moment a job completes

    When a job hits the Complete milestone, the Finance Agent retrieves the job value and creates the QuickBooks invoice automatically — completed roofs are billed the same day, not the same week.

  • Operations
    100 min / week
    Manual morning pipeline check in AccuLynx

    The production manager opens AccuLynx, clicks through each milestone filter, counts the jobs manually, and either briefs the team verbally or copies the numbers into a Slack message — 20 minutes before every production standup.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent posts a daily pipeline snapshot to Slack

    Every morning the Operations Agent retrieves all AccuLynx jobs by milestone and posts a count-by-stage summary to #operations — the production meeting starts with everyone looking at the same numbers.

  • Legal
    45 min / week
    Manual closed-job compliance register entry

    The office manager exports completed jobs from AccuLynx monthly, copies the relevant fields into the compliance register spreadsheet, and manually files the warranty registration documents — a task that takes 2-3 hours per month.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent logs every completed job to the compliance register automatically

    When a job completes, the Legal Agent appends the job category, trade type, and contract value to the compliance register and triggers warranty registration — the contractor license audit trail is always current.

FAQs

Questions about AccuLynx + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to AccuLynx?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find AccuLynx, and click Connect. The recommended path is an API key — log in to your AccuLynx account, navigate to Settings → Integrations → API, generate a key, and paste it into the field in Actionist. Actionist will run a test call to confirm the handshake before any actions run. You will need your AccuLynx subdomain (the part before .acculynx.com) as the second required field.
What permissions does the AccuLynx agent need?
The agent needs an API key generated by an administrator-level AccuLynx account. The key inherits the permission scope of the generating user, so use a dedicated service account with access to Contacts, Jobs, and Leads. Read operations (searches and look-ups) work with any API key; write operations (Create Contact, Create Job, Create Lead) require the same admin-level key. Rotate the key every 90 days and update it in Actionist's connection settings without disrupting running agent tasks.
What is AccuLynx and how does it fit with Actionist?
AccuLynx is purpose-built for roofing contractors — it manages the full job lifecycle from lead capture through material ordering, production scheduling, invoicing, and completion. Actionist's agent layer sits on top of that: instead of your team manually logging into AccuLynx to create contacts and leads, the agent creates them automatically from inbound email, form fills, or storm-event data. The agent also pulls job milestone data to trigger downstream actions in Slack, QuickBooks, and other connected tools — so AccuLynx stays the system of record while the agent eliminates the manual data entry.
What are the most common things agents do with AccuLynx?
The most common patterns are: (1) automatic lead creation — when a homeowner fills out a web form or a storm-event data feed identifies an address, the agent creates the lead in AccuLynx before a rep even sees the notification; (2) job milestone monitoring — the agent polls jobs reaching specific milestones (Sold, In Production, Invoiced) and fires actions in connected tools like QuickBooks, Slack, or a field crew scheduling app; (3) contact deduplication — the agent searches AccuLynx for an existing contact before creating a new one, preventing duplicate records from cluttering the CRM; (4) end-of-day job status digest — the agent compiles open jobs by milestone and posts a summary to the team's Slack channel.
How does the Jobs by Milestone trigger work?
The List of Jobs by Milestone trigger in AccuLynx (available via Zapier AppConnections) polls for jobs that have entered a specified milestone stage — for example, 'Sold', 'Scheduled', 'In Production', or 'Complete'. Actionist detects this change within about a minute and fires whatever downstream actions you have configured: posting to Slack, creating a QuickBooks invoice, scheduling a crew in a field management tool, or updating a reporting spreadsheet. This replaces the manual habit of checking AccuLynx for status changes throughout the day.
Can the agent create AccuLynx contacts from external data sources like web forms or storm data?
Yes. When you set up a Create Contact action in Actionist, the agent can accept values from any upstream data source — a form submission, a hail-storm alert, an inbound email parsed for name and address, or a row in a spreadsheet. The agent maps those fields to AccuLynx's Contact object and writes the record. You can chain this with Create Lead immediately after so each new homeowner address becomes both a contact and a lead in one agent task, ready for a sales rep to claim.
How do I prevent duplicate contacts when ingesting large lead volumes?
Use the Search Contact action before any create step. The agent queries AccuLynx for an existing contact matching the name, address, or phone number. If a match is returned, the agent skips the create and instead logs the match or updates a field on the existing record. If no match is found, it proceeds to Create Contact. This two-step pattern prevents the duplicate-record problem that plagues high-volume lead ingest pipelines — common after large hailstorms when thousands of addresses get added simultaneously.
What are Job Categories and why does the agent need to look them up before creating a job?
AccuLynx organizes work around Job Categories (the type of work — e.g., Roof Replacement, Gutters, Siding) and Trade Types / Work Types (the labor and material classifications used in estimates). When creating a Job via the API, the agent needs a valid Job Category ID. Use the Find Job Category action to look up the correct ID by name before the Create Job step — this prevents jobs from being created with a blank or invalid category, which would break the estimating workflow in AccuLynx.
