Question 1

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Try Foreman for 14 days with unlimited members and up to 50 approved jobs. No card is required and there is no automatic charge. You can choose your plan when you sign up.

Question 2

Do I pay extra for each person in my crew?

Accepted Answer

No. Every plan includes unlimited members, in the office and in the field. Each workspace has its own subscription. Starter includes 50 approved jobs plus a free 10-job buffer, Standard 150 plus 30, Growth 250 plus 50, and Business 1,000 plus 200 per month. Storage and AI allowances vary by plan. Larger operations can contact us for custom volume.

Question 3

What does the AI actually do?

Accepted Answer

It drafts itemised quotes from an enquiry, photos or a voice note; replies to enquiries in your tone; answers the phone as an AI receptionist; spots finished jobs nobody invoiced and drafts the invoice; prepares follow-ups for quiet quotes and overdue invoices; and answers questions like "who hasn't paid this month?" from your own records. AI is included on every plan, subject to fair use.

Question 4

How does the AI know my business?

Accepted Answer

Foreman keeps an index of your own jobs, quotes, invoices, emails and clients. When you ask a question or it drafts something, it looks up the real records first and shows you which ones it used. Your records only answer questions inside your own workspace.

Question 5

Will the AI send things or make up prices?

Accepted Answer

Nothing goes to a client until you approve it. Once a type of task has been approved enough times in a row, you can choose to let Foreman do it on its own, and one undo sends it back to asking. Prices come from your price list and past jobs, and totals and tax are calculated by code, not by the AI.

Question 6

Can I keep using Xero or QuickBooks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect Xero or QuickBooks to sync invoices and accounting information. Google Calendar and Gmail connections are available too. You choose which accounts to connect from Connect in the app.

Question 7

Can my crew use it on their phones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The mobile app gives field staff their runs, site details, notes and photos. They can clock in, record materials and complete work from their phone, with access based on their role.

Question 8

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Manage your subscription from Settings → Billing. Cancel before your next renewal to stop the next charge; access continues until the end of your paid billing period.

Question 9

What does Org Watch monitor?

Accepted Answer

The records you keep in Foreman: quotes waiting on a reply or about to expire, overdue invoices, completed work that hasn't been invoiced, upcoming visits with no crew, overdue tasks and follow-ups, new enquiries with no follow-up, clock-ins left open, and vehicle registration and equipment calibration dates. With the AI phone receptionist it can flag calls that weren't returned, with a connected mailbox client emails that look unanswered, and with Google Calendar staff who are double-booked. You choose which checks are on.

Question 10

Does it make changes automatically?

Accepted Answer

Not by default. Checks raise alerts and, if you choose, suggested tasks for your team. Fixes offered in Needs attention show what will change and wait for you to confirm. Two internal housekeeping actions — marking an invoice overdue and adding an internal quote follow-up reminder — only run after an owner or admin turns them on, and they never email or text customers. Automations you create and switch on run the steps you set up.

Question 11

Does it work when I close the app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Checks run on Foreman's servers, not in your browser, about every five minutes by default; busy periods can take longer. Routine notifications can wait until your quiet hours end. A new workspace starts by nudging you only about urgent items while Foreman learns what's normal for your business.

Question 12

Which integrations or setup does it require?

Accepted Answer

Most checks use what's already in Foreman, so there's nothing to connect. Email checks need a connected mailbox, double-booking checks need Google Calendar, and call checks need the AI phone receptionist. Org Watch can only see what's recorded — if a visit's crew or an invoice isn't in Foreman, it can't know about it. Owners and admins adjust checks in Settings → Business Watch.

Question 13

What happens when an action fails?

Accepted Answer

If a fix you confirm in Needs attention can't be saved, you'll see an error and the item stays open. If a check can't read its data, existing items stay open instead of being cleared, and Recent checks shows what was unavailable. Automation runs are recorded as succeeded, failed or needing review, and Foreman won't automatically resend an email or webhook that may already have gone out.

Question 14

How is Org Watch different from asking Foreman in chat?

Accepted Answer

Chat helps when you ask it something. Org Watch runs its checks without being asked and keeps what needs a person in one list, Needs attention — including things nobody thought to ask about.
