From the roof to the record in one tap
Your inspector is on a steep 8/12 with a drone in the air and a phone in their pocket, shooting hail bruising, lifted shingles, cracked boots, and bent flashing. The drone inspection upload feature makes sure every one of those shots lands where it belongs — attached to the right homeowner’s contact and claim record inside your GoHighLevel account — before the inspector even climbs down.
No SD card shuffling. No “I think those photos are on Jake’s phone.” No discovering at the adjuster meeting that the close-up of the mat cracking never got saved.
- Phone-to-contact upload — the inspector taps the homeowner’s record and shoots; photos attach instantly.
- Drone footage attached — overview shots and orbit video drop onto the same record.
- Auto-tagging — photos sort by slope, elevation, or damage type so the file stays organized.
- Geo and timestamp — every image carries the date and location it was captured, which matters for storm-date documentation.
Why auto-attach changes the game
When photos upload manually, things get lost — and in storm work, a lost photo can mean a missed line item. Auto-attaching every shot to the contact and claim record means:
- Nothing depends on memory — the rep does not have to remember to email the office their photos.
- The claim file builds itself — by the time the inspection is done, the claim tracking pipeline already has a complete photo set.
- Anyone can pull it up — the project manager, the closer, and the production crew all see the same documented roof.
- The supplement is defensible — when you document a missed line item, the photo is already in the file, timestamped and tagged.
Inspection photos — manual vs auto-upload
Inspector shoots 60 photos → SD card goes home in a truck → half get emailed three days later → the adjuster meeting happens with an incomplete set → a $1,800 line item gets missed
Inspector shoots from the GHL app → every photo attaches to the contact instantly → the full set is tagged and timestamped before they're off the ladder → the adjuster meeting runs off a complete file
Builds the evidence library automatically
These inspection photos are the front end of a job’s full photo documentation library. The inspection set, the during-build shots, and the completed-roof photos all live on one contact record — so by the time you collect the final deposit, you have a before-during-after story that protects you in a dispute and looks sharp in a review request.
Works with the gear you already fly
Whether your crews fly an off-the-shelf consumer drone or run a roof-measurement platform, the upload flow is the same: capture, attach, done. There is no proprietary hardware to buy. The snapshot connects the upload to your GHL contact records during install, and your team keeps using the cameras and drones they already own.
Live in 24 hours
Drone and inspection uploads ship inside the Roofing Snapshot for a one-time $1,500 (down from $2,300), live in your GoHighLevel account within 24 hours. Stop losing photos and start building airtight job files from the first inspection.

Do I need a special drone?
No. The feature works with the consumer or commercial drones and phones your crews already use. We connect the upload to your GHL contacts during install.
Can the office see photos in real time?
Yes. As the inspector uploads, the photos appear on the homeowner's contact record so the office and closers can see the roof while the inspector is still on it.
Are photos timestamped for storm-date documentation?
Yes. Each image carries its capture date and location, which is exactly the kind of documentation an adjuster meeting calls for.
Where do the photos live?
On the homeowner's contact record in your GHL account, alongside the claim, the measurement report, and the signed paperwork — one file, one source of truth.
