Setting up the admin account

Written by Cody T

When your company signs up for HeyPros, the main administrator must activate their account before anyone else can join. The Admin account controls company settings, staff permissions, subcontractors, and all operational tools. Follow the steps below to get your Admin account set up correctly.


Step 1. Look for your HeyPros invitation

After your company is created, you will receive an email invitation from HeyPros. This email includes a link that allows you to set up your Admin login.

If you do not see the email, check your spam or promotions folder. You can also ask the person who created the company account to resend the invite.


Step 2. Create your Admin login

Open the email and click the invitation link.
You will be prompted to create your login by entering your:

  • Name

  • Email

  • Phone number

  • Password

Once saved, you will be taken directly into your HeyPros dashboard.


Step 3. Verify your phone number

HeyPros uses your phone number for security and for job notifications.
Enter your number and complete the verification code sent to your phone.


Step 4. Complete your company information

Go to Settings and review your company profile. Make sure the following fields are completed and accurate:

  • Company name

  • Address

  • Phone number

  • Email

  • Logo

Completing this information ensures your subcontractors and staff can easily recognize your company inside HeyPros.


Step 5. Invite your office staff

Admins are responsible for adding staff who will manage projects, post jobs, review bids, and communicate with subcontractors.

To invite staff:

  1. Go to Staff

  2. Add User

  3. Choose their permission level

  4. Add the user’s name, email, and phone number

  5. Send the invite

They will receive an email with a link to create their account.


Step 6. Add your existing subcontractors

If you already work with subcontractors, you can add them immediately.

To add subs:

  1. Go to My Contractors

  2. Select Add Contractor

  3. Enter their name, phone number, email, trade(s) and state(s) they work in

  4. Save

Subcontractors will receive a text message with instructions to access their account. Private subcontractors do not need the mobile app, but they will receive text updates when you post or update a job. The app is still recommended for easier access.


Step 7. Turn on your hiring application

Companies can publish a hiring application to attract new subcontractors.

To turn it on:

  1. Go to Hire Contractors

  2. Toggle on your application

  3. Choose the trades and states you want to hire in

  4. Publish your application

  5. Share the link or QR code on social media or your company website (optional)

When subs apply, you can review their details and click Accept Application to add them to your private network.


Step 8. Set up your categories

Private work orders can use custom categories unique to your business.

To add them:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Select Categories

  3. Add any trade categories you want

Public work orders must use default HeyPros categories.


Step 9. Set up compliance (Pro Plus and Enterprise)

If your plan includes compliance tools, you can create document sets such as insurance, licenses, or onboarding packets. Each set can be assigned to all subcontractors or to specific trades.

To build compliance sets:

  1. Go to Compliance

  2. Create a new document set

  3. Add required documents

  4. Assign to contractors


Step 10. Connect integrations if needed

Pro Plus and Enterprise plans allow integrations through Zapier.

To connect:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Select Integrations

A native integration is available for CompanyCam. Other integrations be created via Zapier inside of HeyPros for Jobber, Monday, Housecall Pro, PaintScout, QuickBooks, and more.


Step 11. Create your first work order

Now your team and network are ready. Create your first job by going to Work Orders and selecting Create Work Order.
Enter the job details, attach photos, select the category, and choose whether the job is private or public.

When posted, subcontractors will receive a notification.


Summary

Your Admin account is the foundation of your company’s HeyPros workspace. Once you accept your invite, complete your profile, invite staff, add subcontractors, and publish your hiring application, you are ready to start posting jobs and managing work in one place.
