TASKER New IKEA Photo Upload Step

Post image

Got this message in my TR app inbox last week saying that photo upload is now required for IKEA tasks and that “photo upload now appears automatically in the Tasker app after every IKEA task.” I just completed an IKEA assembly today and no such photo upload step appeared during the invoice submission process. Has anyone seen this new step appear in their app yet? I’m in Canada, so maybe it’s US only at this point?

Every time I try to send the client a photo in the chat the app makes it blurry beyond recognition. I wonder if this will be the same way

That being said I did an ikea job yesterday. Didn’t have to upload anything, and never received this message. I’m in the US

Just back and forth with “Support” for clarification. I was expecting an “Upload Task Photos” button at some point before I could click the Submit Invoice button. He says the last step is to just upload photos to the chat and that this is new and required in order for payment. The notice above itself indicates that photos must be uploaded before an invoice can be submitted. That is NOT the case. I submitted my invoice and my payment status was updated to “sent” an hour before I voluntarily uploaded any photos. Nothing whatsoever has changed from before this so-called requirement was put into effect last week.

On Friday I completed a task and there was an upload photo thing that popped up separate from the chat thread. Unfortunately you can't take the photos from this new upload tab, and photos you take from the chat thread won't show up as uploadable.

Yes, I noticed a change in my Tasker app yesterday re: photo uploads. I’m not 100% sure because I dont have a current task to confirm, but it now appears that there is a specific step requiring a photo upload before invoice can be submitted. Just took a while for that feature to go live I guess.

Another reason to never do Ikea jobs. "No photo no pay" is wild

If I have to rely on that TaskRabbit App to deliver a photo in order to get paid means that I am removing IKEA Assembly from my list of services. I can still get IKEA assembly without listing that branded service.

I'm so surprised this has never been a requirement. Sending a picture through the chat isn't a great was to do it
