Customers and enquiries

Enquiries

Catch new work from phone calls, your enquiry form and your website, and turn it into jobs.

An enquiry is someone asking about work. In TradieFiles, an enquiry is a job at the Enquiry stage. When you quote it or book it in, it moves along like any other job.

See your enquiries

New enquiries show at the top of your dashboard, with a Call button.

To see them all, click See all on the dashboard. Or click Jobs, then the Enquiry stage at the top.

Enquiries waiting for a reply

You also get a notification, by email and on the bell, when an enquiry comes in from your form or website. See Notifications.
