Receptly + Tradify
On Tradify? Say so and we’ll start the access request.
Tradify doesn’t hand out API keys the way ServiceM8 and Fergus do, and it doesn’t publish an API we can connect to. So this page tells you exactly where that stands instead of putting a logo up and hoping.

The gap
Where this actually stands, in plain terms
Tradify doesn’t publish an API, developer documentation or a Zapier connection that we can find. We’ve asked Tradify directly whether access is available. That’s their call to make and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.
So here’s the deal. Tell us on the setup call that you’re on Tradify and we lodge the request with them, with you, naming your business. Meanwhile you go live on day one with the receptionist booking into your calendar and texting you every call in full. Nothing waits. On Tradify Pro or Plus we can also send each call to your Tradify enquiries address, so it lands in Tradify as an enquiry. How that works.
What you get
What you get from day one, Tradify or not
- The booking in your calendar Google Calendar on every plan. The job, the address, the customer’s number and the access notes in the appointment, on the right day, at a time that fits your run.
- The full call by text Name, number, what the job is, where, how urgent, and who’s paying — on your phone within a minute of the call ending.
- The recording A link to the call, so you can hear what the customer said rather than reading a summary of it.
- Transfers for the urgent ones Calls that meet your emergency rules come straight through to you instead of being booked.
- The Tradify request, lodged Made with Tradify in your name, and we tell you what they say either way — including if the answer is no.
If and when access comes through, the switch is on our side: same receptionist, same rules, jobs written into Tradify instead of copied from a text. Nothing changes for you and there’s no extra charge for it.
Setup

What we’re not claiming

- We’re not charging extra for it if it lands.
Questions about Tradify
Straight answers
Is there any point signing up before Tradify access exists?
Yes, because the thing you’re buying is a phone that gets answered. The integration decides whether a job is typed once or not at all; the receptionist decides whether the job exists. Calendar plus a text with everything in it is how most Starter customers run permanently, and they’re not waiting on anyone.
Could I request access myself?
You can, and if you’d rather do it that way we’ll give you exactly what to ask for, in a paragraph you can paste. Some businesses get a faster answer asking as a customer than we do asking as a vendor.
What if Tradify says no?
Then we say so. You keep the calendar setup and the texts, which is what you’d have had anyway, and nothing on this site will claim otherwise. If your Tradify workflow is the whole reason you were interested, we’d rather tell you now than take a setup fee.
What about other software?
ServiceM8, Fergus, simPRO and AroFlo all have open APIs and are live now. If you’re choosing job software and this matters to you, that’s worth knowing.
