How Emergent Works with Dubsado in Real Time

STEP 1: Describe your app

Emergent automatically introspects your Dubsado data schema, including clients, projects, proposals, contracts, invoices, payments, forms, and workflow statuses. It then guides you to accurately map properties across systems, such as Client Name to Asana project title, Contract Details to Airtable record, Invoice Amount to Sheets revenue column, and Payment Notification to Slack message.

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure webhook triggers for Dubsado events like new leads, contract signings, invoice payments, and project status changes. Set up scheduled syncs for daily financial reports, or define on-demand actions like bulk client exports triggered by dashboard buttons.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate client data mapping and workflow automation, check logs for errors, and let Emergent automatically handle authentication and retries.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back to previous versions or iterate on prompts to add new features.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new capabilities like AI-powered lead scoring, predictive project profitability analysis, automated client satisfaction surveys, or connect additional tools like QuickBooks, Calendly, or Stripe without rewrites. Simply describe what you need, and Emergent adapts your workflow.
