Connecting to Rentals United
With our new Rentals United API connection in AdvanceCM, property managers will not be required to list their rentals on the channel first in order to connect. Your AdvanceCM listings can be pushed to the Rentals United search engine with only a few clicks, following a few steps.
Here's how to connect:
Navigate to the Channels module from the top menu bar
Now on the Channels List view click on the + Add Channel button
This will load the Channels Overlay where you can choose Rentals United and click on the Connect button
Enter your Rentals United credentials.
After entering your credentials, click "Continue".
On the step to select rentals, if your AdvanceCM rentals do not meet Rentals United requirements they will be shown in red.
Click on the arrow or FIX button to see the missing listing requirements. To update the missing information click on "Fix it" and fill in the relevant details.
Once your listing meets all the requirements click the “Create” button under the “Action” column.
Edit listing settings and click the “Create” button.
That's it!
How to disconnect:
Go to the Channels section in AdvanceCM
Click on Rentals United in the left navigation panel

Questions:
Pushed amenities don’t display in listing detail?
There is a limited list of amenities that will be presented in this section of our User Interface. It does not mean that they are ignored or not used. They will be delivered to Sales Channels.
In this section, we simply present the most important ones.
