Steps
Confirm the Pro's account has API access (Housecall Pro gates API access to Pros on a qualifying plan) and obtain an API key
Call the estimates endpoint to create an estimate with customer, address, and line-item details
Use estimate options if you need a multi-option approval flow (e.g. good/better/best) rather than a single flat estimate
Update the estimate as needed (add line items, change status) and send it to the customer through Housecall Pro's normal send flow
Subscribe to estimate-related webhook events (created, updated, sent, scheduled, approval-status-changed, copy_to_job) if you need to react to customer decisions in near real time
When an estimate is approved, use the copy-to-job behavior/webhook to track or trigger creation of the resulting job
Known gotchas
API access itself is plan-gated — verify the Pro's plan supports API/webhooks before building against these endpoints
Housecall Pro engineering support explicitly does not provide dedicated help debugging custom API integrations — lean on the published docs and webhook event list
Estimate options add a layer of structure (multiple option objects per estimate) that a flat single-price estimate integration may not expect — check which shape your account's estimates use
