Connect ServiceM8 to n8n in 15 minutes

The setup guide and test workflow that I’ve called the ‘n8n starter kit’ that gets your ServiceM8 account talking to n8n.

No coding, no jargon, and nothing to pay.

The reason you haven't started with n8n

You’ve probably heard people banging on about n8n. You might have watched a video or two. You’ve probably not started, because the first bit looks like something you would need to be technical for.

That is the bit this fixes.

Once ServiceM8 and n8n are talking to each other, you can make your business do things on its own… Tell you the second a job lands in a queue; Chase a quote that has gone quiet; Tag a customer the moment their job is completed. All of it happening while you are up a ladder.

But none of it works until the two are connected. It’s a 15 minute job, it only has to be done once, and this kit walks you through every single click.

What you get...

  • A step by step guide Every click, with screenshots. Written for someone who has never touched automation software.
  • A free test workflow Import it, run it, and see your own ServiceM8 jobs appear on screen. That is how you know it worked, rather than hoping it did.
  • Plain English throughout No developer talk. If a word needs explaining, I explain it.
  • A troubleshooting section For the four things that usually go wrong, and what to do about each one.

This is for you if you run a trade or service business, you use ServiceM8, and you have been meaning to look at automation for a while now.

You do not need any experience with n8n. You do not need to be technical. You do need 15 minutes at a computer rather than on your phone.

This is not for you if you are not using ServiceM8. Everything here connects the two, so ServiceM8 is the starting point.

Who this is for

What happens next

 

  1. Give me your email and the kit lands in your inbox
  2. Create your n8n account, about two minutes
  3. Switch on the ServiceM8 connection, about one minute
  4. Create your API key in ServiceM8, about three minutes

Then you’re ready to automate anything you like.

Hi, I'M HAZEL.

I’m an award-winning ServiceM8 Gold level Partner and have been working with ServiceM8 for 10 years.

I co-ran a successful plumbing & heating business in Surrey for 10 years (2011 – 2021). I did everything from customer service to accounting, bookkeeping, investment, HR.

Once I’d optimised our ServiceM8 account I then had the time to create this, my second business. 

I love helping business owners like you be less stressed and to show you ways to run your business with ease and profit.

The most important lesson I’ve learned on this journey is that if you make things easy, speed will follow.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No. If you can set up a new phone, you can do this. Every step has a screenshot.

It’s free to try. After the trial it is a paid tool, and it works out to be a similiar price to Zapier but with far greater capabilities, which is why I moved everything across. Current pricing is on their site.

You need to be able to get into your ServiceM8 Account, then Settings, then API Keys.

The guide shows you exactly where to look, so you will know within a minute.

Fifteen minutes if nothing goes wrong, half an hour if something does. It only has to be done once.

Reply to any of my emails and tell me which step.

There isn’t one, but there is a reason I made it. I sell ready-made automations for ServiceM8, and they are much easier to sell to someone who already has n8n working. I am also an n8n partner, so I earn a commission if you sign up through my link. It costs you nothing extra. I would rather tell you that than have you wonder.

IMPORTANT NOTES

This solution is intended for existing ServiceM8 users.  It doesn’t include setup of a new ServiceM8 account.
