I’m using the API to list photos on a project:

https://companycam.readme.io/reference/listprojectphotos

I need to retrieve the tags associated with each photo, but the response from this endpoint does not appear to include tag data.

Right now, it looks like getting tags requires a separate request for each individual photo:
GET /v2/photos/{photo_id}/tags

This does not scale well for real projects. Many projects have hundreds of photos, and each photo may have multiple tags. To build a complete project photo/tag view, an integration may need to make hundreds of additional API requests just to retrieve tag data.

That creates performance issues, increases the likelihood of hitting rate limits, and makes tags difficult to use reliably in external integrations.

The Project Photos API already supports filtering by tag IDs, which suggests the tag data is most likely readily available server-side when querying project photos, it's just being discarded rather than included in the response. It would be very nice if the list photos API at least had the option to include tag data in the response, even if it's turned off by default.


Thanks for your help.

Hi All.

Who else here is using the CompanyCam Project Showcases feature?

• Any tips on utilizing this feature and also increasing SEO? It seems that separate, localized webpages increase SEO? tips from CompanyCam reps and also users welcomed!
• How is it getting up to speed with your projects? Do you have a goal for total number of showcases?

I am thrilled with how it has turned out on our website. We inserted a disclaimer that what is published on our website is not a comprehensive list of all projects - this allowed me the peace of mind to get going knowing that it won't ever be perfect but slowly adding showcases will only help us.

Currently CompanyCam wont let you access your Google Reviews on Mobile, I think this is a huge oversight. Anyone agree?

We are using the payment option in CompanyCam, which was a little rocky at first, but has improved. Since day 1 every user on our account gets an email about "You just got paid!", it would be nice if only certain users got this notification. Our installers in the field don't need to get these types of notifications, nor does some our backend office people.

Thought?

Hello,

We're just onboarding CompanyCam and wondering how other contractors are using User Groups to their advantage. What do you use them for?

I've seen them used for communication, but what other uses have you seen?

I just joined today and I love the photo + AI summary capability. But I am wondering if there will ever be a video summary capability? What I see that I can do now is just record video within the app and get the transcription on the project page, then I copy that transcription to Chatgpt and summarize it.

Just curious!

Luke and I have chatted with more than 30 contractors on the Good Contractor Podcast over the last two seasons. Roofers, HVAC techs, landscapers, restorers, solar guys, a pond digger ... you name it.

Every conversation is different, but the patterns start to show up. The ones who are building something that lasts keep saying the same kinds of things, in different ways. So we pulled 35 of those lessons together into one place.

It covers mindset, hiring, customer trust, systems, money, leadership — basically the stuff that separates the contractors who are growing from the ones who feel stuck.

Not a sales pitch. Just the stuff we keep hearing from people who are figuring it out.

Worth a read if you've ever thought "am I the only one dealing with this?" (Spoiler: You're not.)

35 Lessons from the Good Contractor Podcast

Hey team! I wanted to reach out and get some hype from other business owners. What are your recent wins and stoke?! Any new developments or even new technologies applied that has streamlined your flow? I am always open to new ways to improve mine so I feel like putting it out there is always helpful.

For me, I have had some struggles with launching the name change of my corporation. Mostly with the email actually. I am trying to use Google Workspace for a shared email with myself and my assistant but I have tried and have failed at getting it going. Any tips are appreciated if you have any. But other than that, I am super happy with how everything else is going with it even though it's been a ton of work. Hopefully soon it will be settled into place.

Anyone using the payments options in CompanyCam? We just started and its a great feature, but we have had several of our transactions get declined. Its a bad UX for the customer to say the least. I had high hopes for the this feature and to get a 2.5% transaction fee (on tap to pay) its a real money savor for us.

The API discussion board seems to have disappeared from the API documentation pages; has it been moved here?
Also, is any development work planned for the API? There are many system features missing endpoints; this limits our ability to fully integrate CompanyCam into our technology stack. Please don't refer me to your Zapier integration; the triggers and actions available there are very limited.

Am I able to create a checklist that doest require photos on every line? I really only need them at the end of many of my projects, but really would love to utilize this on the day to day tasks per project.

I have been a bit quiet the past few weeks, but it's because I had some big changes happening! I officially changed the name of my company and completely rebranded to The Lady Plumber Inc.! Realizing that growing my company, which was a dream at the beginning years, changed drastically over the decade and it made me want to be "right-sized" for the lifestyle that I didn't realize I wanted. But with this came a ton of work that I'm still plugging through.

I just wanted to put out my win for 2026! Let's hear what everyone else has been up to?

I was wondering if anyone could go over the integrations, particularly Jobber. The photos do sync, to the internal notes, but I am wondering if there is a way to also transfer other features automatically? Ie Checklists, To-Do Lists.

Hi All,
I am new to CompanyCam, so please excuse me if this has already been asked. I am trying to find a way to ping my managers when the tasks they assigned are completed by their teams. Is there a report I can run at the end of the day? Or is it best just to have the team tag the manager when they finish a list? What have you all found that works for you, so you or your manager knows what work was completed daily?

HI TEAM!

IS THERE ANY WAY FOR CC TO CONFIGURE THE PROGRAM TO FACILITATE A SEARCH THAT ENABLES YOU TO HIT THE BACK ARROW AND HAVE IT TAKE YOU BACK TO YOUR SEARCH RESULTS INSTEAD OF GOING BACK TO THE MOST RECENT PROJECTS LISTED?
FOR EXAMPLE, I SEARCH FOR A PROJECT AND IT SHOWS UP WITH 2 JOBS. I SELECT ONE OF THEM AND RESEARCH WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR...



BUT WHEN I HIT THE BACK ARROW TO RETURN TO MY SEARCH RESULTS TO LOOK AT THE OTHER PROJECT,



IT TAKES ME BACK TO ALL PROJECTS

THEN I HAVE TO DO A NEW SEARCH AND IT COMES UP WITH YET ANOTHER FORMAT



NOT HAVING TO DO SO MANY EXTRA STEPS WOULD BE GREAT!

THANKS, AND HAPPY FRIDAY!

SHAREE

On Wednesday, January 28, @John Talman will be joined by Eric Weddle, CFO of Weddle & Sons Inc., for our first webinar of the year!

[ REGISTER HERE ]

In about 40 minutes, we'll cover how Eric and his team:

• approach software buying decisions
• encourage adoption of new tech/processes
• measure the performance of their systems
• decide when it's time to switch to something new

Unless I am completely missing something, I don't see a way to upload existing photos from a camera roll to a page under a project. Instead, you can only upload from that session.

The work around then becomes uploading directly to the project and then going through each page and manually adding them in that way.

Can we get an upload function directly from an existing phone camera roll to the page itself, without first loading into the project?

Your recording and a copy of the Q&A will be here shortly.

What questions do you have in the meantime?

Dropping the recording shortly. In the meantime, what questions do you have about the remodel?

Will be posting the recording here shortly! In the meantime, what questions do you have?

As we have now entered 2026, what are your goals for this year? I’ve always loved New Year’s, it’s pretty much the only holiday that I actually care much about. Fresh start, New Year’s resolutions and curiosity to see what the new year will bring. 2025 was exceptionally great, but it was very busy. I’m hoping the 2026 will be a little less busy, but just as exciting. I did decide to consolidate my three businesses, and I have launched as of today at The Lady Plumber Inc.

The main reason was to limit the amount of unnecessary paperwork that I was doing. So now all my invoices, all my job information, client database will be all in one business. So that is what I am super excited about. But I would love to hear about yours!

Hi Team!

I'd like to submit a request for a custom start date and end date filter on the company dashboard page. While the current selection is great, it would be super beneficial to add a date range like you've got on the photos for more exact data.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Sharee

I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026!

Does anyone do anything different besides B&A pics showcasing window replacement jobs? Its tough to create excitement with windows.

Is there anyway to add both parties to the contact information? It would be nice to store both parties cell and email information.
