Property management · Request a connector · Pro

Bring your maintenance intake to an AppFolio connector request.

A tenant’s leak report needs the property, unit, and callback number beside it. Request an AppFolio connection by showing us where those details should go and who reviews the maintenance intake.

The mapping to discuss with your office

Source fieldProposed destination
Proposed: property address and unitMaintenance intake location, subject to mapping review
Proposed: caller name and callbackContact details on the reviewed intake destination
Proposed: reported issue and access informationMaintenance request description
Direction
Proposed: Penny intake to a reviewed AppFolio destination. No connector is running from this request page.
When it happens
There is no active sync. Connection availability, account access, and delivery behavior must be agreed before setup.

The proposed mapping does not promise resident-account lookup, vendor assignment, or work-order status access. Emergency call rules and your on-call process must work independently of any requested connector.

Prepare a useful connector request

  1. 1

    Describe the maintenance handoff

    Use Request connector and identify the AppFolio record your office wants to receive. Describe who reviews it and what happens next.

  2. 2

    List the necessary details

    Send field names and a made-up example for property, unit, caller callback, and the reported issue. Leave resident records and credentials out of the request.

  3. 3

    Review access and mapping

    Have the account administrator confirm the available connection options. Agree on matching rules, permitted details, and failure handling before enabling a connection.

  4. 4

    Inspect a test before routine use

    If a connection is agreed, verify a marked test intake against the office’s maintenance workflow before routing real calls into it.

Required fields used to prepare intake for a connection
Prepare the intake your AppFolio workflow needs. This is Penny’s existing required-fields control with sample data; the destination record is illustrated separately below.

Proposed AppFolio mapping — illustrative only

Property / unit
100 Example Lane, Unit 4
Reported issue
Resident says the kitchen tap is leaking
Callback
Caller-provided number
Next step
Property team’s intake review
Proposed field map: the property team identifies the details needed to review a tenant’s request.

What your request should establish

Agree on how a location is matched and where an unmatched unit is sent for review. A sample mapping alone is not enough to authorize a write to a resident record.

Questions about this connection

Can I connect AppFolio from this page?

This page gathers a connector request. Account access, available connection options, matching rules, and scope need review before any connection is agreed. It does not enable an AppFolio sync.

Can Penny take the inquiry while we review this connector?

Penny can capture your configured intake and send it to your office through the call log and email. That gives the team a callback record while the requested connection is reviewed.
