ServiceM8
· #198 most-usedField service, fully automated — from quote to invoice
ServiceM8 is the all-in-one field service platform used by trade businesses to manage jobs, dispatch technicians, generate quotes, and collect payment. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create clients, log jobs, schedule technicians, send SMS updates, and issue invoices the moment work is done — without a dispatcher touching the keyboard. From emergency callouts to recurring maintenance contracts, every step of the service cycle runs on autopilot.
Eliminates manual work. Automating job creation, dispatch notifications, invoice generation, and client follow-up eliminates the manual admin loop that typically costs a trades business 3 hours per week per technician.
What your ServiceM8 agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
ServiceM8 × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Job complete to invoice and review in 60 seconds
When a technician marks a ServiceM8 job Complete, your agent takes over the entire post-job sequence — it fetches the finished job record, creates and emails the invoice with attached notes, schedules a follow-up calendar reminder for 30 days out, and posts a #wins update to Slack — all before the tech has driven off the street. Clients receive their invoice the same day, review requests go out while the job is fresh, and the team stays informed without a single admin touchpoint.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
