30/09/22

Properties API

Unmapped attributes:
Property and Applicant attributes/requirements (department data) is completely customisable for each agent and subsequently it can be difficult to understand how to interpret this data as it comes out of the various APIs that expose it.
As the Platform APIs are standardised across all our customers, Department data has also been standardised where possible using a mapping mechanism to map the customisable values from our CRM into standard values in the API.
Any options that do not have a corresponding mapping and are selected on a Property or Applicant entity will be included in the unmappedAttributes and unmappedRequirements collections in their respective APIs. Additionally, the Special attributes column in the CRM is mapped explicitly.

New Release

This week, we have released a new version of the Developer Portal, specifically an updated version of the app creation flow and app edit pages.
The new design has been developed to improve the UI (now using Elements V3) and to improve the user experience. We’ve also added a very helpful new feature. Read below to find out more.

App Creation

To better help you navigate the app creation process, we have included a helpful app creation wizard. The wizard is designed to make creating an app as straightforward as possible by preselecting/populating certain fields based on your use case.
You can select the type of integration from the list below:
Or if none of the above suit your requirements, simply scroll down and select either a Client-side app or Server-side Integration:
With every selection, we will present the associated documentation on the right-hand side to help you with the process.
You’ll find helpful links for more information or on certain selections, a short video.
When you have completed the wizard, you’ll be directed to the ‘App Details’ page. This page will contain all the information you need to get started developing right away, such as the Client ID and or Client Secret:
The app name will be pre-populated based on your company name. You can change this at any stage.
To edit your app, simply click ‘Edit App’ from the left-hand navigation.
Depending on what type of app you have selected from the wizard, you’ll be presented with various tabs. The first tab for all types is the ‘About Listings’.

New Feature

On the ‘Edit App’ page is where we have introduced a new feature ‘Check Status’.
The check status button is a very quick and easy way to see the current status of your app, what information is missing, your AppMarket status and to see if have any changes that require saving.
The process for submitting your app for review is the same as before. Simply check the status of your app and once all checks have been completed (see example below):
A button on the left-hand side will appear ‘Submit Review’. This will create a revision to our Admin team.
Once your app has been approved (please click here for more information on the reviewal process) the button will change to present the option to ‘Delist’ your app.
The additional tabs, as mentioned previously, will depend on your app type but in all cases, you will have an ‘AppMarket Listing’ and a ‘Permissions’ tab.
The ‘AppMarket Listing’ tab captures the app listing content for the AppMarket and will need to be completed before submitting your app. Images, description, contact information etc.
The ‘Permissions’ tab will relate to the endpoints and data sets you wish to interact with and the visibility of your app (either public or private).
For other types of integrations, you will see the tabs for AgencyCloud Integration and Authentication.
We will be continuing to update the Developer Portal in the coming months to further enhance the user experience and features available to you.

14/03/22

Works Orders

You can now interact and launch with the native works orders screen and pre populate certain search criteria using the newly added AgencyCloud scheme:

An app with the integration type 'Match Output' will be visible by selecting 'Print' after running a match:
For more information on Match Output, please click here

Additional Extras support for Landlords and Works Orders

We have now added the ability for users to request additional extras fields for Works Orders and Landlords.

We have now updated our code generation mechanism to now support office specific referencing.

10/12/21

We have recently updated our Development Request documentation to now include a FAQ’s section. Part of the update to the documentation includes a detailed description on each label, column and board. Please take the time to review the updated documentation and ensure you understand how feature requests and bugs are triaged via the Platform. In addition to the updated documentation, we will shortly be implementing a ‘GitBot’. The GitBot is designed to auto reply to specific issues raised, when issues are moved to certain columns, assigned specific project boards or certain labels added. Essentially, an automated comment to will be added to the issue which will help explain the reason a specific label was added, why it was moved to a certain column and the time frame in which we expect the work to be completed by. The automated email will be sent the person that raised the issue or anyone that has subscribed. If you would like to receive a notification (email) to an issue you are following but have not raised, please make sure you are subscribed, using the ‘Subscribe’ option from the right-hand navigation. Please do not contact our service desk, customer success managers or any other channels within Reapit with regard to the status or timeline of an issue. Please first refer to the documentation and communicate with developers directly in GitHub.

13/09/21

Troubleshooting

We have introduced a new section in our documentation ‘Troubleshooting’.
The documentation is intended to provide guidance to our Developers when building apps and integrations through the Developer Portal.
Currently, it offers support on the following topics:
We will continue to add and update this section but don’t forget, we also have a dedicated page for FAQ's, which can be found here.
Remember, if you are having an issue not covered in the documentation or you have discovered a bug, please raise an issue on our public board by clicking here.

Notification Email

The email address you entered when registering for the Developer Portal, is used by default to receive email notifications,. For example, when your app is installed from the AppMarket, you will receive an email with the details (see more information here)
As you cannot change the email address that registered your organisation, we have now provided the ability to supply an alternative ‘Notifications Email’.
If you want to setup an alternative email address, simply go to ‘Organisation’ page.
Please note: Only an Admin will have the correct permissions to update this information.

Certificates

We are pleased to announce have added new endpoints to the Properties endpoint to now allow for reading and writing of ‘Certificates’.
In conjunction with the new entities, we have also added to our Configuration endpoint, the ability to surface CertificateTypes.

From each log item, you will be able to see the URL, the selected topic, status and the option to ‘Download’.
Selecting ‘Download’ will save a copy of the specific payload as a JSON file.

New Webhook Topics

We have added the following new Webhook topics: appointments.cancelled appointments.confirmed contacts.optedout enquiries.accepted enquiries.rejected offers.rejected offers.withdrawn offers.accepted properties.selling.askingpricechanged properties.selling.completed properties.selling.exchanged properties.selling.withdrawn properties.selling.instructed properties.selling.lostinstruction properties.selling.underoffer worksorders.cancelled worksorders.complete worksorders.raised If you wish to setup subscriptions to any of the new the topics listed above, you will need to have selected the associated scopes. For more information on the required scopes, please visit the associated documentation here.

New REST Hooks Endpoint

We have introduced a new REST Hooks Endpoint. This functionality allows you to programmatically set up webhook notifications for your application rather than needing to do this manually using the ‘Webhooks’ page in the developer portal which can help you automate onboarding of customers.

Updated Terms and Conditions

We continue to develop new features and products on the Foundations Platform and have updated our Terms and Conditions to reflect these changes. From 25th June, when you next login to the Developer Portal, you will be presented with the latest updated terms and will need to accept before continuing to use the Developer Portal. Our current and revised terms can be accessed through the Developer Portal documentation under ‘Developer Terms and Conditions’.

It is now possible to set or clear default property brochures when updating existing properties, using the PATCH method on /properties/{id}
Updating the ‘brochureId’ field on the ‘Selling’ and/or ‘Lettings’ models with a document ID, will set a PDF as the predefined property details. Please see an example in the Property Details screen from within AgencyCloud (Desktop CRM) below:

Inactive Webhooks

To ensure data viability and security, we have made a change to the way 'Sandbox only' Webhooks are handled.

01/04/2021

Developer Portal and AppMarket Refresh

We are excited to announce today, the Developer Portal, Reapit AppMarket and AppMarket Apps UI have been updated in conjunction with the release of our Elements UI library version 2. The functionality of all apps remain the same but with UI enhancements to your user experience.
The visual changes you see are the first step towards a universal design language we have been working over the first part of the year. In the coming months you will see continued incremental updates as pages and flows are re-worked for better UI consistency, polish and UX. In keeping with our open source commitment, in the coming months we plan to make available publicly the design language, sample layouts and designs so that Reapit Developers can leverage our design resource to build better user experience into their own AppMarket apps.
Because we ask that all AppMarket Apps use our UI for visual consistency, we wanted to give the style guide a lift to ensure it best showcases of our development partner's work. This is the core of the Elements v2 release - it is a subtle evolution of the library, including a new font, typography, colour pallet, form inputs, notifications, dialogue boxes and much more.
Care has been taken to avoid breaking changes both to React Components and CSS Classes so that upgrading for all developers should be trivial and painless. We will also offer ongoing long term support in terms of security and bug fixes for the v2.x.x release. You can see the updates to the React Storybook here: https://elements.reapit.cloud/?path=/docs/
This however is just the start and we are now looking ahead to version 3 of Elements. Version 3 will be a ground up re-write of the library, both implementing fully the new design language and responding to both internal and external developer feedback. The version will focus on three core areas of improvement:
  • Visual UI refinement and consistency, fewer components and clearer design patterns to implement.
  • Better documentation for both React and non-React users, including suggested use cases and composed components for off-the-shelf UI / UX flows.
  • Much smaller library with very little required JavaScript and very few dependencies. Elements will be about the visual presentation with developers free to make their own choices as to how to implement behaviours. This will mean a far better developer experience, especially for non-React users and a much more flexible, less opinionated library.
For more information about the latest release and news about Elements 3.0 (coming soon) please click here.

09/03/2021

Configurable Webhook Behaviour

A new configuration option is now available when editing existing/creating new webhooks.
By default, webhooks will not be emitted when only the entity's eTag and modified timestamp has changed.
If you would prefer to receive notifications in this situation, please use the 'Ignore notifications where only the eTag has been modified' toggle option when configuring your webhook. See example below:
Adding a New Webhook
Existing webhooks will remain as they are and you can edit your webhooks at any stage from the 'Webhooks' page in the Developers Portal

New Developer Requests Documentation

To 'Request a Feature' or to 'Report a Bug' you can visit the 'Help' page in the Developers Portal. To help with understanding the process for each new issue raised, we have added a new section in our documentation 'Developer Requests'.
The new documentation will outline our processes, from what happens after submitting an issue to how your ticket will get triaged and categorised. Depending on the nature of the request or bug, it will determine which project board it may get assigned to. As our boards are public you will always be able to track the progress of any issue or request raised.
Help section in the Developers Portal

Virtual Viewing check box

With the very significant increase in the number of listings carrying virtual viewings, we have introduced an additional 'Virtual' check box on appointments inside of AgencyCloud:

This will allow the agent to have the ability to immediately launch your App. This option is only available for AgencyCloud Apps (not available for ‘Integrations’)
New 'Launch App' button
As installations are only available to 'Admins', this is a great way to accelerate the onboarding process as it can be completed immediately.

Terminology Update

‘Direct API’ has now been updated to ‘Integration’. This has been updated in the Marketplace, Developers Portal and all associated documentation.

Seamless integration between the Developer Portal & the Reapit AppMarket

Access between the AppMarket & the Developer Portal with one click! When you next log into the Developer Portal, you will see a new ‘Marketplace’ icon appear on the navigation. Clicking on the icon will take you to the Reapit AppMarket and automatically log you in using your Developer credentials.
To go back to the Developer Portal, simply click on the ‘Developers’ icon in the nav bar. The introduction of this flow will save time when testing and viewing your integration.

Full AppMarket View

Included in the new access flow, you will now see a full list of live and available apps, in addition to your own applications that are still in development. Previously, with your Developer account you could only see your own apps.
Apps that belong to your organisation and that are ‘In Development’ (not listed) will be clearly be shown with an ‘In Development’ banner, see example below:
The ‘In Development’ banner will be visible on the ‘Browse’ apps page, ‘Installed’ & ‘Managed’:

Third Party Installations

App installation remains the same and you still will only have the option to install apps that belong to your organisation. You can of course view apps that belong to third parties but the option to install will not be present.

Desktop API support for Emails & Websites

We are now supporting default mail client and browser loading for emails and external websites. If your AppMarket application presents an link to an email, you will need to update the mailto link to include the new AgencyCloud scheme ‘agencycloud://process/email?’
This will allow you to launch the users default email client and send to an address. An example would be:
agencycloud://process/[email protected]
This will create a new email in the user’s default mail client. It will do this by taking the value of the address parameter, prefixing it with mailto: and then starting a process with that argument.
Similar to the email link, using the scheme ‘agencycloud://process/webpage’ for a website page URL, will allow you to launch a webpage in the local default browser. An example would be:
agencycloud://process/webpage?url=https://www.reapit.com
This will launch the https://www.reapit.com site in the default browser. Note: the URL parameter must start with http for this to work.

It has been just over a month since we went into full production for the Foundations Developer Portal and since we officially launched the Reapit AppMarket.
We currently have the following apps live and available for agents that have access to the AppMarket to install.
Access to the AppMarket is dependent on the migration from our Rackspace environment to our AWS Infrastructure. The Migrations Team are still working hard on finalising the list of agents that will be part of Tranche 1. Once this has been confirmed we will share this information with our App Partners.
In addition to the apps that are publicly available, we also have several apps and integrations that are currently going through their final testing phase, most of which you will be able to see and follow on our coming soon section.
The coming soon section is visible on the AppMarket and provides agents the ability to click on any developer or company they are interested in to send an enquiry email.

Additional Testing

We have recently created a internal demo environment for us to be able help test and view your integrations using our office with the Customer ID ‘RES’. This new environment not only gives us the opportunity to see your integration or app in action, but it also allows you to further understand how the user flow is handled/presented outside of the sandbox installation.
If you wish to take part or setup a demo, you will need to list your app (tick the ‘is listed’ box on the app listing) and set 'Private App' to ‘Yes’ using Customer ID ‘RES’.
After submitting your revision, we will contact you directly to talk through the installation and what to expect.

Fixes and Changes

Over the last few weeks we have been working closely with our developers to see if we can look to improve or enhance the functionality on the Developers Portal, please see below what we’ve been working on.

Organisation & Billing

When you are ready to list your app, you will first need to complete your Organisation & Billing information. The Admin of your organisation will have access to this information from the ‘Settings’ page.
