Property feeds

A property feed pulls listings from an estate agent portal or CRM into NowBoard, so you don't have to enter homes for sale or to let by hand. Connect a feed here once, and the listings it brings in are the ones your Property listings page and your boards use.

Adding a feed

  1. Click New feed.
  2. Give it a name, and pick the Adapter that matches your source: Vebra XML (UK), REAXML (AU/NZ), RESO Web API (US/CA), CREA DDF (Canada), Daft.ie (Ireland), TradeMe Property (NZ), or Custom REST.
  3. Paste the feed's Source URL, and a Branch ID if your CRM needs one to tell branches apart.
  4. Set Refresh (minutes) and how many days a listing keeps its "New" badge. Turn on Mirror photos so photos still show if the source ever goes offline.
  5. Add branding: display name, logo, contact phone, website, tagline and footer note. These show on the board alongside each listing. Save when you're done.

What the statuses mean

  • OK: the last sync finished without errors.
  • Running: a sync is in progress right now.
  • Error: the last sync failed. Check the source URL, then try the refresh icon again.
  • Idle: no sync has run yet.

Separately, the Active / Paused tag shows whether the feed is switched on. Pausing keeps the listings you already have, but stops any further syncing.

Refresh timing

Refresh (minutes) records how often you'd like this feed checked, from 5 minutes up to 24 hours. Automatic syncing on that schedule is not yet switched on for property feeds, so use the refresh icon on a feed's row whenever you want to pull it by hand.

Listings and overrides

Click a feed's listings count, or the list icon, to open the Property listings page filtered to that feed. If one listing needs a change you don't want undone by the next sync, such as a corrected price, add an override to that listing there rather than editing the feed itself.
