Thumbtack

Thumbtack leads as contacts and Thumbtack messages in your inbox — with separate sources for booked and unbooked enquiries.

1Thumbtack leads and messages

Thumbtack sends you leads, and customers message you through it. The integration brings both into ClientTether: leads become contacts, and Thumbtack messages appear in the Unified Message Center alongside your texts and emails.

2Setting it up

  • Enable the add-on and open Settings → Thumbtack.
  • Enter your Thumbtack Business ID.
  • Choose a lead source for leads that arrive With Booking, and another for Without Booking. Separating them means the two can start different follow-up.
  • Leave Check Duplicate on, so a returning customer updates their record rather than creating a second one.

3In a franchise network

Two switches handle networks: Share Thumbtack Credentials With Subaccounts pushes one set of credentials down, and Use Thumbtack Credentials from Parent Account lets a location inherit them. That way head office manages the connection and each location still gets its own leads.

Booked and unbooked leads deserve different plans

Someone who already booked a slot needs confirmation and directions. Someone who only enquired needs selling to. Two lead sources, two Connection Plans.

4Troubleshooting

Leads arrive but with no source

One of the two lead source dropdowns is empty.

Thumbtack messages aren’t in the Message Center

Check the message-type filter there — Thumbtack is a separate type that can be switched off.
