Field Nation Integration Guide

Learn how to connect Field Nation work orders to 1099Policy to verify technician coverage instantly and offer fractional insurance for every on-site service job.

1. Overview

Connect Field Nation’s Work Order data to 1099Policy to ensure that every Provider (technician) has valid insurance coverage before work begins. This integration automates policy binding, certificate validation, and compliance updates between both systems.

By connecting Field Nation and 1099Policy, you can:

  • Bind on-demand coverage as soon as a Provider is assigned
  • Automatically verify or upload Certificates of Insurance (COIs)
  • Sync compliance statuses through 1099Policy webhooks (policy.*, certificate.*)
  • Map pay rates or funded amounts to job.wage (in cents) and wage_type
  • Persist the Field Nation Work Order ID in custom_metadata.work_order_id for reconciliation

2. Integration Flow

Coverage should activate as soon as a Provider is assigned so compliance is confirmed before on-site work begins.

  • Primary trigger: workorder.status.assigned — subscribe via Field Nation’s Webhooks API
  • Alternative trigger: workorder.created — prepare coverage when the Work Order is posted
  • Payload: The webhook delivers the full Work Order object, including schedule, provider, pay, and location details
  • Auth & endpoints: Use OAuth 2.0 (?access_token=) with
    • Sandbox: https://api-sandbox.fndev.net/api/rest/v2/
    • Production: https://api.fieldnation.com/api/rest/v2/

3. Core Concepts

Each Field Nation object maps directly to a 1099Policy coverage concept. This ensures consistency between compliance tracking and insurance binding.

4. End-to-End Implementation

This section walks through the complete lifecycle, showing how to retrieve data from Field Nation and create coverage records in 1099Policy.

4.1 Create Contractor

Each Provider must exist as a Contractor in 1099Policy before creating a quote. Each Contractor must include a unique contact.email within your tenant. If Field Nation does not expose the Provider’s email, generate a proxy such as <provider.id>@relay.yourdomain.com.

provider.first_name / last_namecontact.first_name, contact.last_nameRequired
provider.emailcontact.emailRequired; use proxy if missing

    "city": "Dallas"
  },
  "custom_metadata": {
    "fieldnation_provider_id": "987654"
  }
}

4.2 Create Job

Jobs describe the work being performed, its compensation, and category. Create a Job when a Work Order is assigned to a Provider.

Authorization: Bearer t9k_test_***
Content-Type: application/json

  "wage": 6500,
  "wage_type": "hourly",
  "region": "TX",
  "custom_metadata": { "work_order_id": "88342" }
}

4.3 Create Quote

Quotes determine the policy type and coverage duration for the Work Order. Use the Provider’s Contractor record, Job ID, and Work Order schedule.

Source: Field Nation (REST)


GET https://api.fieldnation.com/api/rest/v2/workorders/{id}/schedule?access_token=...

Destination: 1099Policy (POST /quotes)


POST https://api.1099policy.com/api/v1/quotes
Authorization: Bearer t9k_test_***
Content-Type: application/json


{
  "contractor": "cn_2Hk3a91",

  "end_date": 1764672000,
  "custom_metadata": { "work_order_id": "88342" }
}

4.4 Create Insurance Application Session

Create an Application Session for first-time Providers so they can review and bind coverage.

Destination: 1099Policy (POST /apply/sessions)


POST https://api.1099policy.com/api/v1/apply/sessions
Authorization: Bearer t9k_test_***
Content-Type: application/json


{
  "quote": "qt_Ya42GhT",
  "success_url": "https://fieldnation.com/workorders/88342?coverage=active",
  "cancel_url": "https://fieldnation.com/workorders/88342?coverage=canceled",
  "custom_metadata": { "work_order_id": "88342" }
}

One time opt-in

Providers complete this flow once to activate their first policy.

4.5 Create Assignment

Assignments apply coverage automatically for returning Providers who already completed their initial opt-in.

Destination: 1099Policy (POST /assignments)


POST https://api.1099policy.com/api/v1/assignments
Authorization: Bearer t9k_test_***
Content-Type: application/json


{
  "contractor": "cn_2Hk3a91",
  "job": "jb_7ZfXqP9",
  "effective_date": 1764585600,
  "end_date": 1764672000,
  "coverage_type": ["workers-comp","general"],
  "custom_metadata": { "work_order_id": "88342" }
}

4.6 Upload Certificate (BYO-COI)

If a Provider uploads their own COI to Field Nation, forward it to 1099Policy for automated validation.

Source: Field Nation (REST)


GET https://api.fieldnation.com/api/rest/v2/workorders/{id}/attachments?access_token=...

Destination: 1099Policy (POST /files/certificates)
(multipart upload)

Fields:

  • certificate=@file.pdf
  • contractor=cn_2Hk3a91
  • custom_metadata[work_order_id]=88342
General liability option

Field Nation also allows Providers to purchase its in-platform general liability option if no COI is uploaded.

4.7 Record Invoice (Optional)

If the contractor’s final pay differs from the original estimate, record the actual remuneration for reconciliation and audit. This step is optional and does not affect insurance coverage.

Destination: 1099Policy (POST /invoices)


POST https://api.1099policy.com/api/v1/invoices
Authorization: Bearer t9k_test_***
Content-Type: application/json


{
  "contractor": "cn_ti8eXviE4A",
  "job": "jb_rajdrwMUKi",
  "gross_pay": 1200,
  "paycycle_startdate": 1714419793,
  "paycycle_enddate": 1714419793
}

Unix timestamp

Use Unix seconds (UTC) for paycycle_startdate and paycycle_enddate. See full API reference: https://docs.1099policy.com/group/endpoint-invoice

5. Webhooks

Webhooks keep both systems synchronized throughout the Work Order lifecycle.

SourceEventAction
Field Nationworkorder.status.assignedCreate Job and Quote; if first-time, create Application Session
Field Nationschedule.updated / provider.checked_in/outAdjust Assignment window
Field Nationworkorder.status.work_done / approvedEnd coverage

1099Policypolicy.expired / policy.canceledMark coverage inactive
1099Policycertificate.validatedMark COI valid
1099Policycertificate.flaggedFlag for manual review

6. Testing Checklist

Use this checklist to confirm that your integration behaves as expected.

  • Provider created with proxy email if missing
  • Job created with correct wage and metadata
  • Quote created and session launches successfully
  • Application Session completes and coverage binds
  • Assignment dates align with Work Order schedule
  • Webhook endpoint verified with signature
  • Certificate uploads trigger validation
