Generate your own OMS API keys for custom real estate integrations

The real estate industry is changing fast and agents are increasingly using technology to their advantage to streamline operations and communication with clients. Every business has its own unique needs, so we've released an OMS and Sync API in 2016 to help real estate agencies build custom solutions. Now you can self-generate your OMS API keys.

With the OMS, you can do custom external integrations with 3rd party apps (or develop your own) through the OMS API. The OMS API (Application Programming Interface) for instance allows you to extract any of your data (e.g. property listing data) and use it in innovative ways on external systems or websites. You can also have a look at these featured 3rd party integrations (like the very cool Zapier integration) which is available to all clients: http://www.entegral.net/oms/integrations/.



Generate your own OMS API Keys
Simply navigate to the API keys tab under office settings (available to office admin roles). Here you can type in an application name, select which data functions is made available and generate a unique API key. You can use this key to activate any of our integration partners, or provide the key to your own developers to build custom systems (help on how to activate with partners available within the OMS). Generate one key for every app. This allows you to revoke the app access at any stage, should you choose to do so. (If you delete the key the external party no longer has access to your data, even with that key).
If you are developing your own integration, you can provide your developers with this page that has more information including the OMS API specification. 




There is no additional cost involved for OMS users to use the OMS API keys.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

Image
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 l...

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Image
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 ...
