Option 1: Send an invite from the Hover app
If you're working with someone who doesn't already have a Hover account, follow these steps to invite them to capture photos of a property.
Start a new project on mobile or desktop
Fill out information about the property, then click Send invitation
A text message and email (with up to 2 reminders) will be sent to the individual you're requesting photos from.

The following images depict what an individual will see when they receive the invitation and begin the capture process.
Follow the job progress in your account:
Once you send the invitation, a draft job will appear in your Hover account.
Will I receive job progress updates?
Will I receive job progress updates?
While you wait for the individual to complete the photo-capture process, you can monitor their progress from within the draft job in your account.
From the Summary tab, you see confirmation once the invite has been sent, once the link in the invite has been clicked, and confirmation that the pictures have been taken and submitted. From this tab, you can also send a reminder or cancel the request.
Once the individual submits the photos and Hover processes the job, you will receive an email and notification in the app.
Option 2: Initiate Hover connect from your CRM
With this option, you can automate Hover capture requests through Salesforce, Acculynx, JobNimbus, and more!
Using Zapier
Sending Hover connect invites via Zapier requires a subscription to Zapier, Hover, and the other platform of which you're attempting to integrate.
Check out Zapier's help center or click the image below to start an integration pairing.
Using Hover's API
Using Hover's API allows your business to leverage the 3D data and metadata Hover generates within key parts of your business with CRMs, sales presentations, and so much more!
You can use the Hover API Documentation to learn how to:
Authenticate to interact with your data in Hover
Pull deliverables and data from Hover for use in your own systems
Use webhooks to act as triggers when state changes occur
CRUD data from each endpoint
Option 3: Include Hover on your website
By embedding Hover directly on your website, homeowners can receive access to a 3D model of their home and design tools to start visualizing their project, while you receive all the property details to scope and sell the job!
