Most software integrations connect CompanyCam to one platform at a time. Zapier connects it to over 4,000.
If there’s a tool your team already uses to run your business — a CRM, a project management platform, a communication tool, a spreadsheet — there’s a good chance Zapier can connect it to CompanyCam without any custom development or technical expertise required.
What Is Zapier?
Zapier is an automation platform that creates connections between different software tools using a trigger-and-action system. In Zapier, a workflow automation is called a Zap. Every Zap starts with a trigger — something that happens in one app — and then executes one or more actions in another app automatically.
For example: when a new project is created in CompanyCam, Zapier can automatically create a matching record in your CRM, send a notification to your Slack channel, or add a row to a Google Sheet — without anyone doing it manually. The trigger fires, the action runs, and your tools stay in sync.
How Zaps Work: Triggers and Actions
Every Zap is built from two components: a trigger and an action. Understanding how they work together is what makes Zapier useful. Once your CompanyCam account is connected to Zapier, you can use it across as many Zaps as you need without signing in again.
Triggers: Events that start the automation
A trigger fires when something happens — a new project is created in CompanyCam, a new job is added in your CRM, a photo is uploaded. Once the trigger fires, Zapier passes the data from that event to the next step.
Actions: What Zapier does with that data
An action might create a new record in another app, send a notification, add a row to a spreadsheet, or update an existing record. You can chain multiple actions together in a single Zap — so one trigger in CompanyCam can update your CRM, notify your team in Slack, and log the event to a Google Sheet simultaneously.
What You Can Automate with CompanyCam and Zapier
Because Zapier connects CompanyCam to thousands of other tools, the automations you can build are as specific as your workflow. Here are some of the most common ways contractors are using it:
CRM connections
When a new prospect or job is created in your CRM — AccuLynx, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, and others — Zapier can automatically create a matching CompanyCam project and add the project link back to the CRM record. Your field and office stay connected without anyone manually bridging the two systems. If your CRM already has a direct CompanyCam integration, Zapier can fill in the gaps for any workflows that fall outside it.
Google Drive
When new photos are taken in CompanyCam, Zapier can automatically upload them to a designated Google Drive folder — useful for teams that need photos accessible outside of CompanyCam for reporting, compliance, or client deliverables.
Jobber
When a new Jobber request comes in, Zapier can automatically create a CompanyCam project so your crew is ready to start documenting from the moment they’re dispatched. If you want to see how the integration works, check out these 7 ways contractors use CompanyCam + Jobber to close more jobs.
Slack and communication tools
When a new CompanyCam project is created, Zapier can send an automatic notification to a Slack channel — so your whole team knows a new job is active without anyone having to send a manual update.
Google Sheets and reporting tools
When photos are taken or projects are updated in CompanyCam, Zapier can log that data to a Google Sheet automatically — useful for teams tracking job progress, photo counts, or documentation compliance across a large volume of active work.
