CompanyCam: what the assistant can do

In CompanyCam, the assistant can find a project, create a project, add photos, add a comment, see recent photos, add a checklist, tag a project or photos, update a project, add a to-do and list projects. You ask by text, in your own words.

Asking first and undo follow the same rules for every tool: see Confirmations and undo.

Find a project

Looks up a project by name or jobsite address and replies with its address, photo count and link.

• Asks before doing it? No. It only looks things up.
• Can be undone? Nothing to undo: it doesn’t change anything.
• CompanyCam API call: GET /public_api/v1/projects/search
• Action name: companycam.find_project

Example texts:

• “do we have a CompanyCam project for the Hendersons?”
• “find the Oak St job in CompanyCam”
• “what’s the CompanyCam link for 4410 Ridge Rd”

Create a project

Creates a project for a jobsite so the crew can add photos. If one with the same name and address exists, it uses that one.

• Asks before doing it? Usually not. It asks first if it isn’t sure what you meant, a name only roughly matches, or the request covers more than 5 records.
• Can be undone? Yes. Text “undo” within 10 minutes.
• CompanyCam API call: POST /public_api/v1/projects
• Action name: companycam.create_project

Example texts:

• “start a CompanyCam project for 4410 Ridge Rd, Austin TX 78745”

Add photos

Uploads the photos you text to a project, with an optional caption or tags.

• Action name: companycam.add_photos

Example texts:

Add a comment
