Why I Built My Own Review Automation Instead of Using Jobber’s

Welcome back to Blue Collar AI — the show about using AI, systems, and simple automations to make real trade and blue‑collar businesses run smoother.In Episode 1, we looked at how talking instead of typing changed the way I deal with emails, quotes, and job notes.In Episode 2, we went through how I actually use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini in my electrical business.Today I want to dig into something every tradie and service business cares about: reviews.Specifically, why I stopped relying on my CRM’s built‑in review requests, how I built my own automation to ask for reviews using Zapier, Jobber, Twilio, and Bitly – and why I’m now moving that whole workflow over to n8n.If you’ve ever turned on a “review request” feature and felt underwhelmed by the results, this one’s for you.
