Send iMessages alongside Jobber
The short answer
Yes, with Blue Reacher. Jobber's built-in texting is Two-Way Text Messaging, which sends standard SMS. Blue Reacher adds a dedicated iMessage line, wired to Jobber through Zapier or Jobber's developer API, so quote follow-ups, visit reminders, and review asks land as blue bubbles with read receipts and full-quality photos. Replies and opt-outs report back per message. No A2P registration required for the line, and $249 per month with unlimited iMessages. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day to stay deliverable; replies are never metered.
Key takeaways
- Jobber's SMS lands as a system notification; blue-bubble iMessage reads like a person.
- Zapier for no-code, or Jobber's GraphQL API with webhooks for tighter integration.
- One automation per moment where silence costs money, in the order most Jobber businesses build them:
How a message falls back
Why add iMessage to Jobber?
Jobber's SMS lands as a system notification; blue-bubble iMessage reads like a person. Read receipts show opens, full-quality photos sell the job instead of MMS-compressed, and voice memos from the person who walked the property outperform templated emails. Blue Reacher customers see 2-3x the reply rate of cold email.
- No A2P registration required, so the channel goes live after one onboarding call. Quote approvals, visit reminders, review asks, and payment collection all see higher response rates on blue bubbles.
How does Blue Reacher connect to Jobber?
Zapier for no-code, or Jobber's GraphQL API with webhooks for tighter integration. The trigger watches for the moments you pick: a request submitted, quote sent, job completed, invoice overdue. Each fires the Blue Reacher REST API with the client's mobile and a message built from the job's details.
- Replies, delivery states and opt-outs come back over webhooks: note on the Jobber client, task creation, channel ping. STOP replies are detected automatically. Clients without iMessage get RCS then SMS automatically. White-glove onboarding builds the wiring for you.

Which Jobber moments should text blue first?
One automation per moment where silence costs money, in the order most Jobber businesses build them:
- Quote sent + 48 hours, not approved: a follow-up naming the property and the price, with the site photos attached full-quality
- New request submitted: a same-minute reply from the owner's line, before a competitor even calls back
- Visit tomorrow: a reminder that actually gets read, which is where no-shows and locked-gate visits drop
- Job completed: a review ask within the hour, while the finished work is still the best thing in the client's week
- Invoice overdue: a courteous nudge that reads person-to-person, which collects faster than a third emailed statement
- Spring reactivation: one campaign over last season's client list to fill the calendar before the rush
How does setup work?
One onboarding call, white-glove. The implementation consultation maps which Jobber moments should text, the team wires Zapier or the APIs with you, and message intent gets configured so sends read like your office wrote them. Most businesses send their first triggered text within a week, with optimization check-ins after launch.
- Pricing is public: $249 per line per month with unlimited iMessages, or $1,949 per line per year, about $162.50 a month. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day to stay deliverable; replies are never metered. The $449 white-glove activation fee is waived on annual billing. Most businesses run one line for the office; multi-crew operations add a line per crew or per brand.
Frequently asked questions
Does Jobber support iMessage natively?
No. Jobber sends standard SMS. Blue Reacher adds a dedicated iMessage line alongside Jobber, triggered through Zapier or the developer API, with replies reporting back per message.
Is there a Blue Reacher app in Jobber's App Marketplace?
Not a native tile. Blue Reacher is native on GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Close, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Follow Up Boss. Jobber connects through Zapier or GraphQL API. White-glove onboarding builds it for you either way.
Do I need A2P 10DLC registration to text my Jobber clients?
Not with Blue Reacher. The iMessage line has no A2P registration required: no brand vetting, no campaign approval wait. Clients who can't receive iMessage get the same message over RCS, then SMS, automatically, and every send reports its delivery state either way.
Can quote follow-ups include photos?
Yes, at full quality. iMessage carries photos, video, and voice memos without MMS compression, so the walkthrough shots that sell a landscaping or roofing quote arrive the way they were taken. A voice memo from the person who walked the property regularly outperforms another templated follow-up.
What does it cost for a Jobber business?
$249 per line per month with unlimited iMessages, dropping to $199 per line at four or more lines, or $1,949 per line per year, about $162.50 a month. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day to stay deliverable; replies are never metered. No per-message fees, so quote season costs the same as the slow months. The $449 activation is waived on annual billing.
