Last updated:

This update was emailed to customers on 4 July 2025. Each item below links to the full how-to article where one exists.

Copying contacts between SortScape and the other tools you already use is easy to get wrong, and it is slow.

On Premium, Zapier can connect SortScape to thousands of apps without writing code. Examples: create a SortScape contact when a lead lands in your CRM, keep Mailchimp in sync when a contact changes, or send a Google review request when a job is marked complete.

Staff used to need a computer to update availability. That is inconvenient when they are already on the tools.

The roster is in the mobile app. Staff can update availability from their phone, and you can see who is available each day. Your own name sits at the top of the list so you can change it quickly.

Assigned issues can sit unnoticed until a customer follows up.

You can get email alerts when an issue assigned to you changes. Admins can also turn on alerts for all issue activity. Open your profile menu, then Notifications.

Estimating how long today’s visit will take is easier if you can see how long the last ones took.

Open a visit and you can see durations from previous visits at that property.

It is easy to forget to tick visit photos when you create an invoice.

Turn on Automatically add visit attachments to new invoices so those files are selected for you.
