Public API - New Event Webhook When an Inspection Address Changes

What's New
Spectora now sends a webhook when an inspection's property address changes. Connected apps hear about it right away and can update their copy of the job.
Why It Matters
When you fix an address in Spectora, the apps you work with can get the fix too. That means less time spent correcting jobs by hand.
Details
  • New webhook event:
    inspection.address_updated
  • Fires when any part of the property address changes: street, unit, address line 2, city, county, state, zip, or country
  • One save sends one notification, even if you change several address fields at once
  • Works for inspections in any status, and for edits made on web or mobile
  • The payload includes the inspection ID and company ID, and apps use the Public API to read the updated address
  • Subscribe to webhooks: https://developer.spectora.com/webhook-configuration
Timing & Audience
Available now for all companies with a connected integration. Apps need to subscribe to the new event before they start to receive it.

Mobile App Version 10.36.2

What's New
Version 10.36.2 fixes an issue where the app could crash or fail to save your changes after switching away from Spectora and coming back.
What we fixed
  • App crashing or not saving after switching apps:
    On iOS and Android, leaving the app mid-inspection (for example, to take a call or open another app) and returning could cause a crash or prevent edits from saving or syncing properly. You may have seen this error:
    OBX_ERROR 10001: Cannot open store: another store is still open using the same path
    . The app now handles this safely, so your work saves as expected.

Track Your API Usage in the Developer Portal

What's New
You can now check your company's monthly (30 day cycle) API usage right from the Developer Portal. The new API Usage page shows your current plan, how much of your monthly quota you've used, and when it resets.
Why It Matters
You can see where you stand any time and plan ahead before you get close to your limit. Before this, the only way to check usage was to dig through the data that came back on each API call.
Details
  • Open the profile menu in the top right of the Developer Portal and select
    API Usage
image
  • See your requests used, requests remaining, and your
    cycle reset date
  • A
    yellow banner
    shows once you pass your included quota, and a
    red banner
    shows once you hit the hard limit and new requests will be rejected until the cycle resets
  • Checking the page does not count against your quota
  • The API overview page in the developer docs now points to this page too
Timing & Audience
Available now for any admin who signs in to the Developer Portal.

Agent/Agency Bug Fixes on New Order Form

What's New
We fixed two issues on the new order form that affected agencies when adding agents to an order.
What we fixed
  • Agency disappears after selecting an agent:
    For companies with a large list of agencies, the agency showed in agent search results but went blank once the agent was added. The agency now stays in place for both client's agents and listing agents.
  • Agency missing from the Agency field search:
    Some agencies on file could not be found by typing their name in the Agency field. The search now looks through every agency your company has.

New Order Form - Referral Source fix

What's New
We fixed the Referral Source field on the new order form. Your saved referral source list shows up as suggestions again, the same way it does on the Legacy New Inspection Form.
What we fixed
  • Saved referral sources now show as suggestions:
    When the Referral Sources restriction is turned off in Settings, clicking into the Referral Source field on the new order form will now still show your company's saved list. Pick one to fill the field, or type any value you want. This helps keep your referral source reports clean.

Mobile App Version 10.3.1

What's New
Mobile app version 10.36.1 fixes an issue that caused the app to crash, freeze, or restart for some inspectors on larger accounts.
What we fixed
  • App crashing, freezing, or restarting on larger accounts:
    On accounts with a lot of data, syncing could slow the app down enough to show an error screen, freeze, or restart. We sped up how the app loads your reports and inspection data, so syncing no longer stalls the app. Your reports and data will look the same, just load faster.

Public API: Foundation Type Now Included in Inspection Property Data

What's New
The Public API now returns the property's foundation type with the rest of the property data. You get it from both "Get an inspection" and "List inspections" when you include property in your request.
Why It Matters
Your tools get the foundation type automatically. Nobody has to ask the inspector for it or type it in by hand.
Details
  • New field:
    foundation
    now appears in the property data on
    Get an inspection
    and
    List inspections
    .
  • How to get it:
    Use
    include: property
    in your request. If you do not include property, the response has no property data, the same as before.
  • Values:
    Foundation comes back as it is stored in Spectora:
    basement
    ,
    slab
    , or
    crawlspace
    .
  • No foundation set:
    The field comes back as
    null
    .
  • The developer portal docs will show the new field.
Timing & Audience
Available now to all companies and integration partners with Public API access.

Edit PaySplits on Service-Limited Services

What's New
Admins can now edit paysplits for every service on an inspector, including services that inspector is service-limited from. A
Service Limited
badge shows which services have a limitation.
Why It Matters
When you manually assign an inspector to a service they're limited from, you can pay them correctly. You no longer need to turn a service limitation off just to set a split.
Details
  • Pay split fields are editable on every service and add-on row.
  • A
    Service Limited
    badge appears next to any service or add-on the inspector is limited from. It's for reference only and doesn't block editing.
  • Copying pay splits
    from one inspector to another now brings over every service, and all of it is editable.
  • Adding or removing a service limitation keeps any pay split you already set.
  • Each row in the Pay Splits table now has a divider line, so it's easier to follow a service across the columns.
  • Auto-assignment is unchanged.
    Service limitations still keep an inspector from being auto-assigned to those services.
Timing & Audience
Available now for Admins on the Advanced plan using Pay Splits.

Advanced Automation Send Test Now Includes Attachments

What's New
Send Test in Advanced Automations now includes your email attachments. The test email you get looks the same as the real email your clients will get.
What We Fixed
  • Send Test includes email attachments:
    Before, test emails came without any attachments. That made it look like the attachments were broken. Now every attachment you pick on the email comes with the test, even if you haven't saved the automation yet. If you remove an attachment before you send the test, the test email won't include it.

Public API: Developer Portal Upgrade and New GET Single Event

What's New
You can now get one inspection event by its ID through the Spectora Public API and the AI Connector. We also upgraded the Developer Portal with a Search field at the top.
Why It Matters
Integrations that sync calendars can now refresh one event without pulling the whole event list again. That means fewer API calls against your monthly quota and a faster way to confirm an event after it changes.
Details
  • New endpoint:
    GET /v2/events/{id}
    returns one event, with the same fields you get from the events list.
  • Related records:
    Add
    include=inspection,inspector,radon_devices
    to get the event's inspection, inspector, and radon device details in the same call.
  • New AI Connector (MCP) tool:
    get-event-v2
    lets a connected AI assistant look up one specific event. It only sees events for your company.
  • Developer Portal docs:
    The new endpoint is in the API Reference under Events, and the new tool is listed on the MCP Server page.
  • No changes needed on your end:
    API keys, Marketplace app tokens, the MCP Server, and your monthly usage counts all work the same as before.
  • View the docs in the Spectora Developer Portal
Timing & Audience
This is live now for every company with Public API access, including the free plan.
