MLS Email Alerts for Realtors: New Setting to Control which Information Triggers Updates
August 16 2012
August 16 2012
We've added a great new feature Realtors have been asking about for a while.
Our MLS Email Alert system has been setup to send out email alerts whenever a property is updated on the MLS based on a "modification timestamp" that the MLS organization sets on each property. But sometimes the MLS says properties have been updated just because some obscure field was changed. But for the average person the property doesn't appear to have been updated so it's essentially a false alert.
So we have now implemented a method that allows you to specify which fields should trigger an update. For example, you may want to only notify your clients when the price or status has changed, or new photos or remarks have been added. You can do that now.
By default the Email Alerts will continue sending out whenever a property is modified by the MLS. But if you want to control the specific trigger fields, go to the MLS Service settings, and select the fields for each MLS service you subscribe to:
- Go to the main "Content" Tab
- Select the "MLS" button
- Select "Services" in the left menu.
- Edit the MLS Service you are subscribed to.
- Scroll down to the field for "Email Alert Update Fields" and then select ONLY the fields that you want to check for updates.
Now all your clients will have their Email Alerts filtered by these fields and they will be notified every hour only when information in these fields is updated.
