How Tack Tools Pro Connects to Thumbtack

Tack Tools Pro is an official Thumbtack integration partner using Thumbtack's Partner API with OAuth 2.0 authorization. No passwords stored, no scraping, no browser automation — just a secure, Thumbtack-approved connection.

Official Partner API

Approved by Thumbtack's partnerships team. Listed on the Thumbtack Apps page.

OAuth 2.0 Authorization

Industry-standard auth flow. Your Thumbtack password never touches our system.

AES-256 Encryption

All connection tokens encrypted at rest. Row-level data isolation per account.

How the OAuth Connection Works

1

You sign up at tacktoolspro.com

Create your account with email and password. No Thumbtack credentials needed at this stage.

2

Click "Connect Thumbtack" in the onboarding wizard

You're redirected to Thumbtack's own authorization page at auth.thumbtack.com — not a Tack Tools Pro page.

3

Review permissions and click "Allow Access"

Thumbtack shows you exactly what Tack Tools Pro is requesting access to. You control what gets shared.

4

Thumbtack issues secure tokens to Tack Tools Pro

An OAuth 2.0 access token and refresh token are issued by Thumbtack directly. Your password never passes through our system.

5

Tack Tools Pro registers for real-time lead webhooks

Using the official Thumbtack webhooks API, we register to receive your leads the moment they arrive on Thumbtack.

6

Leads flow through automatically

When a new lead arrives, Thumbtack sends it to Tack Tools Pro via webhook. We fire Live Connect, Rapid Reply, and Tack Voicemail within 27 seconds.

Can I disconnect Tack Tools Pro from my Thumbtack account?
Yes. You can disconnect at any time from your Tack Tools Pro dashboard under Integrations. Disconnecting immediately revokes all access tokens, and Tack Tools Pro will no longer receive your leads or send messages on your behalf.
Does using Tack Tools Pro violate Thumbtack's terms of service?
No. Tack Tools Pro operates within Thumbtack's Partner API program. We are an approved integration partner and comply with Thumbtack's API terms of use. Thumbtack actively supports third-party integrations through their Partner API to help pros manage their businesses more efficiently.
How is my Thumbtack connection data stored?
All OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption. Tokens are never stored in plain text. Your data is isolated per account with row-level security in our database, and all communication between Tack Tools Pro and Thumbtack is encrypted in transit via HTTPS/TLS.
What happens if my Thumbtack access token expires?
Tack Tools Pro automatically refreshes your access token before it expires using the OAuth refresh token provided by Thumbtack. This happens in the background — you never need to reconnect manually. Refresh tokens are valid for 180 days.
