Connecting a Thumbtack source

Open Sources

In NZ Leads, go to Sources and click Add Thumbtack.

You’ll be redirected to Thumbtack. Sign in with your Thumbtack Pro credentials and grant NZ Leads permission to read inquiries and send replies on behalf of your Pro account. Your password is never shared with NZ Leads — only a secure access token is returned after you approve.

Review activation

After authorizing, you’re redirected back to NZ Leads. Your Thumbtack Pro account appears as a new source on the Sources page with a green Active status and a link to Messaging Settings.

What’s different about this source

One source per Pro account. Unlike Yelp, Thumbtack isn’t organized by location — one Thumbtack Pro account is one source.
Service categories come through. The service category the customer picked on Thumbtack is included in the inquiry, which helps the AI assistant tailor its reply.
Attachments are preserved. If the customer uploaded documents or images on Thumbtack, those are visible on the lead in NZ Leads.

Messaging Settings for this source

A Thumbtack source supports the full set of Messaging Settings:

Conversation Setup — AI assistant or predefined messages

Troubleshooting

Authorization failed — Make sure you’re signed into the correct Thumbtack Pro account, then try again. If you recently changed your Thumbtack password, re-authenticate.
Messages aren’t arriving — Confirm the source is Active, open Thumbtack to confirm new inquiries are landing in your Thumbtack inbox, and re-authenticate if needed.
Replies aren’t being sent — Check that your Messaging Settings have a Conversation Setup configured and that business hours / timing aren’t holding messages.
Billing warning on the card — Open Billing and resolve the payment issue. The source won’t receive new messages until billing is current.
