01

First-Ring Phone Answering When Tenants Call Instead of Using the Portal

When water is pouring through a ceiling at 1:30 AM, tenants do not log into an app—they call your phone number. Kathy answers on the first ring and texts a 1-tap camera link while they are still on the phone.

02

Matches by Complex or Shopping Center Name + Unit/Suite #

Whether a caller says "Oakridge Apartments, Unit 204" or "Westgate Shopping Center, Suite 104", PropDispatch matches your AppFolio property and preserves the exact Unit, Suite, or Bay label.

03

Built-In Section 8 (P4), Rent Ready (P5) & Custom HOA Priority Queues

Give your maintenance coordinators dedicated SLA timers and 1-click queue filters for HUD Section 8 re-inspections, vacant make-ready turnovers, and HOA or City Code violations.

How Setup & Daily Operations Work

1. Keep AppFolio for Accounting & Leases

Zero changes to your AppFolio database. Import your property and vendor list in 60 seconds (or use our Free White-Glove Setup).

2. Autonomous 24/7 or After-Hours Dispatch

Set rules per property, portfolio, trade, and priority (P1–P6+) to auto-dispatch 24/7 or hold daytime calls during office hours and auto-dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays.

3. Export Approved Invoices & 1-Page Owner PDF Reports

Every completed job produces mandatory "After" photos, side-by-side Approved Estimate vs. Final Invoice tracking, and a 1-Click Owner PDF Report ready for AppFolio.

Frequently Asked Questions (AppFolio)

Can we use PropDispatch only for after-hours, weekends, and holidays with AppFolio?

Yes! You can forward your maintenance line after hours, or forward 24/7 and set your Routing Rules to "After-Hours, Weekends & Closed Holidays Only" so daytime calls are held for your office team while nights, weekends, and federal/custom holidays auto-dispatch.

Autonomous Resolution: When a huge oak tree crashed onto a brick home during the hurricane, Kathy calmly asked follow-up questions to uncover that the tree had punched a hole right through the interior ceiling and damaged the tenant’s belongings—then immediately texted a photo upload link and dispatched emergency crews.
