Open House Alert

What Is an Open House Alert?

An Open House is a scheduled event where a property is made available for prospective buyers or tenants to visit and view in person.

The Open House Alert feature allows you to automatically notify leads about upcoming open houses that match their preferences. Alerts can be configured based on criteria such as city, property type, price range, open house date, bedrooms, bathrooms, and more.

You can choose the alert frequency and assign alerts to leads, tags, stages, or sources. Once configured, email alerts will be sent whenever matching open house listings become available.

Alert Execution

Matching open house listings will be sent to assigned leads according to the selected frequency.

Important Notes

  • If a lead does not open up to 10 consecutive alert emails, the alert will automatically stop sending to that lead. This helps protect email deliverability and reduces the likelihood of emails being marked as spam.

  • Alerts assigned to leads cannot be deleted until they have been removed from all associated leads.
