Import Tenant Applications from 1Form

Overview

1Form www.1form.com.au is an online tenancy application system that allows a tenant to complete an application electronically which is then sent to you via email. REST reads the emailed files and automatically creates the tenants in REST.

When you receive the emails from 1Form there are several files attached to the email. One of these is an XML file. This is the one you must save in the designation folder so REST can read the file and create the tenant card for you.

Troubleshooting Information

• Should you have a shared tenant situation, it is recommended that they should nominate one person to complete the form. Then you can add in the other tenant’s information once the application is approved by the landlord.
• You can nominate to set up an internal owner and property i.e. AAPROSPECT and select the option to have all tenants be marked as a prospect, then ALL tenant application will be attached to this AAPROSPECT property. Once landlord has approved the tenant can be set up against the relevant property.
• Managed Files - If you want to remove an application from the list you may mark it as a processed application by selecting this option. You may mark a processed application as unprocessed, which will allow you to view the contents of the application.
