What's new
Recent releases and improvements, newest first.
- Agent Commission InvoicesAgents
Platinum agents can invoice an accepted landlord client for unpaid landlord leads. The landlord pays by card on Income & Expenses. After that payment, the agent can pay those commissions out to their bank.
- Schedule C Tax Export for Service ProfessionalsReports
Platinum vendors can download a calendar-year CSV and PDF from Earnings, plus an expense log. Completing a job can split the billed total into labor and materials. Bookkeeping summary only — not an IRS form and not tax advice.
- Contacts DirectoryPlatform
Keep every tenant, applicant, vendor, and agent in one searchable address book. Filter by role, archive old contacts, and jump straight to their applications or work history.
- Smarter Message NotificationsNotifications
Unread messages now batch into a single in-app alert and email digest instead of pinging you for every line. Open the conversation and pending notifications cancel automatically.
- Webhook Subscriptions in SettingsIntegrations
Platinum subscribers can subscribe to real-time events — new applications, signed leases, rent received, and more — and send them to Zapier, Make, or your own systems.
