It turns initial lead submission into a confirmed job on your calendar with no manual steps in between. This guide assumes Jobber is already connected to LeadTruffle. If it's not yet, see [How the Jobber and LeadTruffle Integration Works](/en/article/how-the-jobber-and-leadtruffle-integration-works-rta5gd) first β€” it takes just a couple of clicks. --- ## Step 1: Turn on AI booking 1. In LeadTruffle, click **External CRMs** in the left sidebar 2. Find the **Jobber** integration, click **More**, then **Settings** 3. Toggle on **Allow AI to book jobs** 4. Choose what info the AI must collect before booking. Options are **email**, **phone**, and **address** | *Email and phone are usually the right balance β€” required enough to be useful, not so strict that typos in an address block bookings. You can always add address later.* 5. Click **Save Settings** --- ## Step 2: Configure scheduling settings Open **Settings** again and go to the **Scheduling** tab. Toggle on **Enable Schedule-Based Jobber Availability**, then set the following: ### Time zone Set this to your business's local time zone (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, etc.). This makes sure availability is calculated correctly. ### Appointment window length How long should each booked job block off? Most contractors use a 2–4 hour window: * 2 hours = **120 minutes** * 3 hours = **180 minutes** * 4 hours = **240 minutes** To get the value, multiply hours by 60. ### Minimum notice How far in advance must a lead book? Setting this prevents same-hour bookings that you can't realistically make. * 2 hours notice = **120 minutes** * 12 hours notice (no next-day appointments) = **720 minutes** ### Maximum advance booking How far out can a lead schedule? Most leads want first available in the next few days, but it's worth setting a cap so no one books six months out. --- ## Step 3: Set your booking windows Booking windows tell LeadTruffle which hours you're willing to take appointments. The AI will check these hours against your existing Jobber calendar to find open slots. 1. On the calendar, set your standard hours (e.g. Monday–Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM) 2. To take Saturday appointments, drag a slot onto Saturday (e.g. 12 PM – 4 PM) 3. To change hours for a specific day, click that day's slot and adjust 4. Click **Save** when done | *Only the days and times shown here are bookable. If a day is blank, the AI won't book on it β€” even if Jobber is wide open.* --- ## Step 4: Preview availability Once your windows are set, click **Preview Availability** at the bottom of the scheduling tab. LeadTruffle will return the actual open slots based on your booking windows minus anything already on your Jobber calendar. If the slots look right, you're good. If something looks off (wrong time zone, missing days, slots you didn't expect), revisit Steps 2 and 3. --- ## Step 5: Enable Jobber AI Booking on each lead channel AI Booking is configured globally, but you also need to flip it on for each lead source where you want it active. 1. Open the lead channel (e.g. Yelp, Thumbtack, Google LSA, Web Form, etc.) 2. Scroll to **AI Booking Mode** 3. Select **Jobber AI Booking** 4. Save Repeat for every channel where you want the AI to book directly into Jobber. --- ## Step 6: Update your AI prompt The last piece β€” and the most commonly missed. If your prompt still says things like *"never confirm an appointment"* or *"tell them we'll reach back out to book,"* the AI will follow those instructions and won't book even when it can. 1. Open the prompt for the lead channel you just enabled 2. Remove any rules that block or defer booking, such as: * *"Never confirm an appointment time"* * *"Tell them we'll reach back out to confirm"* * *"Don't schedule appointments"* 3. Add a clear booking instruction, for example: *"Book the 2-hour appointment using Jobber AI Booking."* 4. Save the prompt ||| *Skipping this step is the #1 reason AI Booking doesn't work after setup. The prompt overrides everything β€” if it says don't book, the AI won't book.* Repeat for every lead channel where you've enabled Jobber AI Booking. --- ## Test your setup 1. Open any lead channel and start a **test conversation** 2. Play the role of a customer through to the booking step 3. Confirm the AI offers a real available slot and books it into Jobber 4. Repeat the test on each lead source where you've enabled AI Booking If something doesn't work as expected, check that: * Jobber AI Booking is turned on for that channel * The prompt doesn't contain any conflicting instructions * Your booking windows in Step 3 cover the times the AI is trying to book --- || **Ready to activate?** Once your CRM is connected, update your AI prompts so the AI books directly instead of just gathering time preferences. β†’ [Update your AI prompts after activating AI booking](https://help.leadtruffle.co/en/article/how-to-update-your-ai-prompts-after-activating-ai-crm-booking-rfcjsg/?bust=1778534814559) Need help?
