How to Get Set Up with Appfolio

The Aptly team will help set up your Appfolio integration.

First, you'll need to create an Aptly-specific User in Appfolio by following the steps below.

  1. Create a Special User in Appfolio
    1. Create a user in your Appfolio account using this email address template: companyname@aptly.apmhelp.com. For example, if your company is Properties PM, the user’s email should be propertiespm@aptly.apmhelp.com.

      The user’s role should have full access to all of your reports in Appfolio including:

      • Leasing Reports
        • Rental Applications
        • Unit Vacancy Detail
      • Tenant Reports
        • Tenant Directory
        • Tenant Tickler
      • Delinquency
      • Owner and Vendor Reports
        • Owner Directory
        • Vendor Directory
        • Work Order
      • Associations Reports (if applicable)
        • Homeowner Directory
      • Property and Unit Reports
        • Rent Roll
        • Unit Directory
        • Property Directory
  1. Send Aptly Support an Email
    1. After adding an Aptly-specific user, email the following to Aptly Support at help@getaptly.com.

      ✉️
      Hello Aptly Support! We are [insert property management company] and we need to get our Appfolio data connected to Aptly. Here’s the user I created: [insert email address of the Appfolio user that was created] This is our Appfolio URL: [insert Appfolio URL] Thanks!

      Aptly will set up the rest of your integration. It will take about 24 hours for all locational data (Buildings, Units, Vendors, Leases) and contacts to be synced with Aptly.


Other Appfolio Integration Options

While Aptly integrates directly with specific Appfolio data, it’s also possible to obtain other Appfolio data in Aptly. These can be added into Aptly via Email Parser set up in the Inbox.

💡
You’ll need a connected inbox (we recommend using a shared inbox for notifications) in order to set up Email Parsers. Set up your Appfolio notifications to send to the shared inbox.

For any Appfolio notification email that you receive in an Aptly-connected inbox, you can set up an Email Parser to create a card (with specific information from the email) on a designated board. Note: Cards can only be created, not updated with an Email Parser.

We have the following Email Parsers available for Appfolio:

  • Appfolio - SMS
  • Appfolio Application
  • Appfolio Lease Ready for Countersign
  • Appfolio Lease Renewal
  • Appfolio Move-out
  • Appfolio New Lead
  • Appfolio New Work Order
  • Appfolio Payment Rejected
  • Appfolio Phone Call
    • Notion image
