Enable and use the CompanyCam connector

This article explains how to connect XBuild to CompanyCam. By linking these platforms, any photos captured in the field via CompanyCam are automatically synced to the corresponding project in XBuild, providing seamless visual documentation for your proposals and site inspections. You must be logged into XBuild as an Administrator to add the CompanyCam Connector.

​
Why connect CompanyCam to XBuild?

Visual evidence is the backbone of a successful construction project. This connector eliminates the need to manually upload photos from your phone to your computer.
  • Real-Time Documentation: Photos taken by your inspection and field crew appear in the XBuild project.
  • Enhanced Proposals: Easily pull job site “before” photos directly into your XBuild digital proposals to show homeowners exactly what needs repair.
  • Version Control: Maintain a single source of truth for project progress without digging through text threads or personal photo galleries.

​
1. Authorize the Connection

The CompanyCam connector uses a secure OAuth “handshake,” so you don’t need to manage API keys.
  1. Log in to your XBuild dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Settings and then Connectors section.
  3. Locate CompanyCam and click Connect.
  4. You will be redirected to the CompanyCam login page. Enter your CompanyCam credentials.
  5. Review the permissions and click Authorize to allow XBuild to access your photos and project data.
  6. Once redirected back to XBuild, the status should show as Connected.

​
2. Linking Projects

For photos to sync correctly, XBuild looks for a matching project in CompanyCam.
  • AI Chat: Ask to link to a CompanyCam project and the AI Chat will display the CompanyCam widget, search using name or address. Select the Company Cam project and the specific photos you want to import to XBuild.
  • Connectors Plus: From the AI Chat window, find the Connectors Plus option and CompanyCam to open the widget. The rest is the same as AI Chat, search using name or address. Select the Company Cam project and the specific photos you want to import to XBuild.

​
3. Multiple XBuild Locations

  • If you have multiple XBuild locations you need to go back to the Business Profile tab, select each office
  • Repeat the above steps for each additional office location

​
4. Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Photos Not Syncing: Ensure the project address in XBuild matches the address in CompanyCam exactly. Small typos in street names can prevent the “auto-sync” from triggering.
  • Missing Documents: Note that while photos and videos sync automatically, PDF documents stored in CompanyCam may need to be moved to the XBuild “Documents” tab manually unless specifically attached to a synced gallery.
