Q: I am looking for something to help me manage staff tasks (for example a property inspection).

This task would be a sort of work order assigned to someone - they would need to see some information on the task (access details, on-site contact, property address, property name etc) and be able to report back with their comments and photos.

The contractor would fill out a form or task record detail when on-site.

1) Can I prefill form values by passing them as query string parameters to the form page? ie propertyid=123456

2) Can I do a custom JSON API call with a variable passed in ?propertyid=123456 before the form loads?

i.e. the custom api call would be

http://www.site.com/json/getPropertyName

{ "propertyid": "123456", "authkey": "123456" }

then the form would pull the property name from an API and display it on the form page before loading the form

The benefit is you could have an updateable form that pulls existing data and prefills it

3) Our contractors would take 40-60 photos of a job, is there an upload type optimise photo that would resize the size (resize to 1000x1000 max sides) and quality of each photo (90% compression) on the client-side (javascript) before uploading them on the form to reduce data and storage usage?

Q: Can you include API access?

I like this concept but its just another thing for my team to use and get used to. If i have API access i can autopull data from other sources and makes this a better dash for my team to use daily. I dont want to give them extra work. why do that when i can automate those things?

A: Hi Christian,
Business management is very complicated but we've done our best to simplify things so that you can successfully run your business in an efficient and accessible way.

If you're able to find the time in the future to watch the videos, I think that will help a lot to clarify things, there are also regular onboarding sessions you could join.

We'd always happy to work with any of...

Q: You keep saying numbers API is only relevant for large companies but that’s not true.

I don’t want to spend extra time inputting numbers when an API could do it for me. It’s pretty straightforward to do with tools like Integromat to make a POST request. Can you include API access in the plan? Otherwise this is a just a tool that will create more work.
