Adding "square footage" to the APIs/Webhooks
R
Ras
We recently were in talks with your team about the API returning "square footage" on bookings and orders. Some dashboards we build are dependent on this feature and we were hoping that this would be added in the APIs.
Message from your colleague Matt:

"Hello,
Thanks for passing along the details on the webhooks you're using. I can confirm that our system does not currently include sq ft data in the Order Scheduled or Footprint Created webhook data triggers.
You are welcome to suggest that it be added as a feature request to our system, by following this article to submit Canny feedback.

Hey Ras, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific dashboards or features are dependent on the 'square footage' data?
- How frequently do you anticipate needing updates or changes to the 'square footage' data in your dashboards?
- Are there any specific formats or data structures you prefer for the 'square footage' information in the API responses?

Hey again
Thanks for getting back! It combines with other business aspects more or less. However putting square footage as marker in predictive analytics for local areas and overal business growth. Like:
- Predict inspection times and costs using ML models based on property size.
- General inspection overview and planning.
- Forecast demand for services by analyzing historical square footage trends.
We ask only for square footage data via booking (e.g., via Order Scheduled webhook) as a numeric square_footage: float in JSON. No updates required post-booking I think...
Excuse mi misunderstanding of the questions but i think i understood what you ask for ;-)
Best,
Ras
