In any job management system, repeat work is where manual admin quietly costs the most: the fortnightly mow or the quarterly filter change does not need re-quoting, it needs to reliably exist in your system every time it comes around. Recurring jobs do exactly that.
Set it up once
Create a recurring job for the repeat work: the client, what the work is, and how often it repeats (regular maintenance, fortnightly mows, quarterly services). From then on, Chippie generates the next job on schedule.
The jobs arrive by themselves
Each generated job is a normal Chippie job: it tracks status, sits in the client's history, and becomes an invoice like any other work. Chippie can also put the generated job on the calendar automatically, so the repeat work shows up where you plan your week.
Why this beats a calendar reminder
A reminder tells you to do admin. A recurring job does the admin: the job record, the schedule slot, and the path to the invoice already exist. The difference is whether regular clients get invoiced consistently or whenever you remember.
Common questions
Can I skip one occurrence?
Yes. Each generated job is its own job, so handle a cancelled visit like any other cancelled job. The recurrence keeps going.
Can I change the frequency later?
Yes, edit the recurring job and the schedule follows from the change.
Do recurring jobs count toward the free plan's monthly jobs?
Yes. Generated jobs are real jobs, so they count toward the free plan's 20 jobs a month like any other.
