Automation Dashboard - Automated Property Alerts

This guide will step you through setting up and editing the Automated Property Alerts automation on the Automation Dashboard.

This automation creates a Alert Criteria against a contact when a lead comes into Aro, based on the listing they have enquired on.

For example, if a contact enquires on a 3 bed house selling at $500,000, an alert is created for a house, with minimum 3 bedrooms, within a price bracket of $400,000 to $600,000 (20% either side of the listing price, default % can be changed).

For business and commercial listings, it pulls through the category (eg. Health/Beauty, Food/Beverage etc.)
When you next add a listing that matches these criteria, this contact will show in the Matching Buyers/Matching Tenants list on your listing.
