In short

How can I automatically collect and route rental applications to the right property manager?

When a rental application is submitted through AppFolio, WebRun reads the applicant details, logs them in your Google Sheets tracker, scores the application against your income and credit criteria, and routes it to the right property manager in Slack - no application is approved without a human decision.

  • Every application scored against your income and credit criteria automatically
  • Right property manager alerted in Slack within minutes of submission
  • No application slips through unreviewed

Questions, answered

Will it approve or reject an application automatically?

Never. WebRun scores and routes - every approval or rejection is made by your property manager in AppFolio.

How is the score calculated?

Using your income-to-rent ratio threshold and the credit band you specify. You can adjust both criteria in the plan at any time.

What happens if an application is incomplete?

WebRun flags the missing fields in the Slack message and logs them in the tracker, so the property manager can request the missing info before scoring.

Put this on autopilot.
