We are excited to announce the beta release of the OMS Zapier web automation app as part of our new OMS Integrations.  The new OMS Zapier app connects your OMS data to all your favorite apps and can help you automate just about anything in your real estate business. 




What is Zapier?

Zapier is a tool that allows you to connect apps you use every day to automate tasks and save time. You can connect the OMS to any of Zapier’s 750+ integrated apps together to make your own automations. What’s more it’s quick and easy to set up – you don’t need to be a developer, anyone can make a Zap! Triggers can be created for when a new agent, contact or property is added, and you can create notes on properties as actions. Connect the OMS to automate tasks with all your favourite apps! Learn more about Zapier here and here.




What can you do with the OMS Zapier app?

You can create triggers and tasks that can automatically send your OMS data to the app of your choice, or send data back. This includes:

1) New Contacts (Any Contacts and Office Shared Contacts)
When a new contact is created in the OMS, it can send that contact (name, contact details etc) to the app of your choice. You can for instance send a contact to the MailChimp custom email marketing application or sales apps like PipeDrive, as soon as they are created in the OMS.

2) New Property 
When a new property is created in the OMS, it can send that property listing, including a main photo, property details, location etc to an external app. You can for instance push a new mandate into a customized marketing process workflow in a popular project management app like Basecamp or Trello. If you use Slack for office communication, you can let everyone know about the new mandate.

3) New Agent
When a new agent is created in the OMS, you can send the agent details to an external app. You can for instance trigger a workflow in an external HR or Project Management tool or add the agent to your contacts in Gmail contacts.

4) Property Notes
You can get external apps to create notes on property listings by supplying the property reference number for the property you'd like to add a note too. If you for instance pushed your listings to Airtable, you can insert notes back from Airtable into your listings through Zapier.




The OMS Zapier integration opens up endless automation and integration possibilities for your real estate agency. Keep an eye out for our next Zapier blog post that will take you trough setting up your 1st Zapier automation.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal lead import from

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Property24.com, South Africa’s largest property portal owned by Naspers, has bought rival Private Property . The deal is likely to come under the close scrutiny of competition authorities as it involves the two biggest property portals in the country. Due to the impact of such an acquisition on the industry, Entegral was interested to find out what the perceived advantages and disadvantages of such a deal would be, both through the eyes of the consumer and the estate agent.   Here are the results from around 250 responses received on a survey done over a 2 day period , mostly from agents and agency owners. While the survey presents a small portion of the market (a ccording to the EAAB's latest annual report there are 19,424 registered agents and agency owners, excluding intern estate agents, in South Africa) , f eedback has been received from well-respected agency owners and agents, and we believe this gives a good indication of the current view of agents. The fear from estate
