Zingly automatically turns completed ServiceM8 jobs into Facebook and Instagram posts, then publishes them in seconds - helping tradies stay visible without extra admin.

Sometimes, if your ServiceM8 session has expired or two-factor authentication is required, after logging in you may be redirected to the ServiceM8 dashboard instead of back to Zingly.

If this happens:

• Simply close the ServiceM8 tab
• Return to Zingly
• Click Connect ServiceM8 again

That's it - your ServiceM8 connection is now ready. Once connected, Zingly can start preparing posts from ServiceM8 jobs marked for Zingly.

To send a job from ServiceM8 to Zingly, you need to tag the photos you want to post.

Step 1 - Create the Tag (First Time Only)

Create a photo tag in ServiceM8 called:

Zingly

This only needs to be created once. After that, you can reuse it for future jobs.

Step 2 - Tag the Photos

Open the job you want to post in ServiceM8 and:

• Select the photos you want to post
• Apply the Zingly tag to those photos
• Change the job status to Complete d to trigger posting via Zingly

Only tagged photos will be sent to Zingly.

Zingly can prepare the post for review or publishing based on your settings.

Zingly automatically removes private details from job information before creating social content.

This includes customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, exact addresses, access codes, invoice details and private customer notes.

Zingly uses the ServiceM8 job address for location context, but it is designed to avoid publishing exact private address details in the social post.

For better posts, keep job descriptions focused on:

• the work completed
• the job outcome
• customer-safe details

• Zingly setup is complete
• posting is enabled in Zingly
• you are on the Zing Up plan
