How to Connect Procore to Jugl for Smarter Construction Management

Learn how to automate tasks by syncing updates from Procore to Jugl, keeping your construction teams aligned and work organized.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Managing a construction project involves many tools, teams, and tasks. But switching between platforms like Procore, spreadsheets, and emails can lead to confusion, delays, and missed information.

Let's show you how you can set up a workflow where records from Procore automatically create tasks inside Jugl, so your team can track, manage, and act faster, all from one place.

This integration helps turn Procore activity (like new records or updates) into organized, trackable work in Jugl. No more manual entries. No more lost documents or delays.

We’ll walk through how to:

  • Set up Procore inside Jugl (using connectors)

  • Choose the right triggers

  • Connect your account

  • Build a recipe to create a Jugl task when something happens in Procore

  • Use real construction scenarios (like trucking tickets and RFIs)

  • Plan simple diagrams (you can design visually based on our cues)


Start by Selecting Procore as the Source App

You begin by selecting the Procore app from your available applications. This is where the automation will listen for changes. Procore becomes your source, the system where the action begins.

When you select Procore:

  • You will be prompted to authenticate it (via API key or OAuth)

  • Make sure the account you’re connecting has access to the project you’re working on

  • Select the workspace or location for the automation (e.g., Templates)

You should now see Procore listed as the active app.


Choose a Trigger: What Should Start the Automation?

Next, define when the workflow should run. You’ll see a list of possible triggers.

For example:

  • New record in Procore – starts when a new item is created (like an RFI)

  • New or updated record – covers both creation and modification

  • New event – broader trigger for different types of changes

In most cases for construction tracking, “New or updated record” works best. That way, both new entries and important changes trigger your automation.

Choose this trigger and move forward.


Set Up the Connection to Procore

Now it's time to connect your Procore account. You’ll need:

  • A Connection name (e.g., “My Procore Project”)

  • The right location (like “Templates” or “Main Automation”)

  • Authentication (usually OAuth 2.0 or a secure API token)

  • Your Procore project URL (formatted like https://yourcompany.procore.com)

Once you connect, you’ll be able to pull data from any permitted projects.

👉 Note: Make sure the Procore user has the right permissions for viewing or editing the data.


Now Build the Automation Recipe

Now that you’ve connected Procore, it’s time to build the automation or recipe. In Jugl, recipes are step-by-step instructions. Here's how a basic recipe would work:

  1. Trigger: Procore record created or updated

  2. Monitor: Check the task creation step for errors

  3. Action: Create a new task in Jugl

  4. Retry: If failed, try again

  5. Stop: If still fails, log the error and stop

Inside Jugl:

  • Choose the board where you want the task to appear (e.g., “Construction Tickets”)

  • Set the task name (you can pull values from the Procore record, like RFI title or task ID)

  • Add a description with more Procore info

  • Set priority, labels, and assignees as needed


Use Case 1: Automating Trucking Tickets for Faster Jobsite Entry

One of the pain points discussed in the meeting was the manual handling of trucking tickets. Right now, someone takes a photo, sends it via text or email, and then someone else enters the data into Procore or a spreadsheet. That leads to lost documents and delays.

How the flow works:

  • A new ticket image or record is uploaded in Procore (from a mobile device)

  • Trigger fires and sends the info to Jugl

  • Jugl creates a task titled “New Truck Ticket – Site A”

  • The image and ticket details are added in the task

  • A supervisor is automatically assigned to review

👉 This replaces long chains of messages with one organized task.


Use Case 2: RFIs to Task Boards

RFIs (Request for Information) often cause delays if not tracked properly. With this setup:

  • When a new RFI is created in Procore, Jugl auto-creates a task

  • The RFI question, due date, and reference number are pre-filled

  • Assignee is based on the Procore field engineer

This ensures RFIs are not just buried in email, they become active tasks with visibility.

Step

What Happens

Use Case 3: Submittals and Change Orders

Submittals and change orders can get lost if not followed up.

With this automation:

  • Procore submittals automatically create a task in Jugl

  • The document and due date are included

  • If it’s a change request, it’s labeled “Urgent” and assigned to a project lead

This ensures important approvals don’t get delayed.

Making the Workflow Better with AI and Mobile

In the meeting, AI features and mobile tracking were discussed. Jugl’s vision includes:

  • Using AI to extract data from images (like dump tickets)

  • Creating tasks automatically based on scanned content

  • Letting field users submit info via mobile forms

  • Tracking user location for task context (optional)

This means drivers or crew members can:

  • Submit info directly

  • Attach files or images

  • See their assigned tasks on mobile

No training required, just tap and go.


Notes and Best Practices

  • Keep your Procore records consistent. If naming is messy, Jugl task titles will be too.

  • Don’t overwhelm teams with too many triggers. Use filters.

  • Test on a small project first. Try trucking tickets or RFIs to see real impact.

  • Use labels and tags in Jugl for sorting and dashboards.

  • You can later expand this flow to include HR, equipment logs, or payment approvals.


Final Note

This setup helps construction teams stay on top of important project data without switching tools or missing deadlines. Procore becomes the data source. Jugl becomes the command center. Field teams stay informed. Office staff stay organized.
