AppFolio Integration

AppFolio Has Data.
It Doesn't Share It.

AppFolio only exposes API access on its highest tier. Even then, there are no native CRM integrations. We build the connections that get your property data where it needs to go.

Connect Your AppFolio

The Problem

AppFolio Does a Lot. It Connects to Very Little.

AppFolio is a capable property management platform — online rent payments, maintenance workflows, tenant screening, and accounting are all built in. But when it comes to connecting with anything outside AppFolio, the options are thin.

There are no native CRM integrations. No direct connections to external accounting tools. No way to push tenant or prospect data to marketing platforms. If you want data out of AppFolio, you're exporting CSVs or using the API — which is only available on the highest tier.

The good news: AppFolio's API is more accessible and better documented than some competitors. Once you have access, there's real data to work with. We build the integrations that unlock it.

AppFolio's integration landscape:

API on highest tier only Most AppFolio users have no programmatic access to their own data.
No CRM connections Zero native integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, or any other CRM.
Limited external accounting Built-in accounting works inside AppFolio, but pushing data to QuickBooks or Xero requires custom work.
Better API than some competitors When you do have access, AppFolio's API is reasonably well-documented and covers the core data models.

The Process

How an AppFolio Integration Works

3

Build & Test
