Overview

With our property management system (PMS) integration, residents created in the property management software are automatically added to Latch Mission Control. This integration saves time for property managers by removing the need to add resident data to multiple systems. Please note that property managers will still need to log in to Latch Mission Control to set up access for the newly synced residents, as automatic access provisioning is not yet available.

How the integration works

With the Latch integration, resident information is pulled from the PMS and automatically populates in Latch Mission Control. Synced information includes first name, last name, email, phone number, leasing start, and end date, move-in and out date, and unit number.

Syncs occur at a minimum of once per hour. When the PMS syncs with Latch Mission Control:

1. It checks all people who have previously been synced through this integration and imports any new information into Latch Mission Control. If the email address has changed, the sync will not complete.
2. If users have a “pending” or “current” status in the PMS and have not yet been added to Latch Mission Control:
• Check if there is a user in Latch Mission Control with the same first name, last name, and email as the PMS. If everything matches, the user will be synced.
• If there’s a partial match (i.e. email addresses match but different names), the user will be flagged and the property manager can review.
• If there’s no match, a new contact will be created in Latch Mission Control. This contact will be populated with information from the PMS.

Move In, Move Out Automation is a feature available within Mission Control that automatically adjusts resident access in Latch based on changes within your ePMS system. This feature is designed to streamline your property management operations by removing the need to manually assign access to residents once they’re added into your ePMS system.

To get set up, please verify that your properties have fully completed the steps for ePMS integration with Yardi Voyager 7S, Realpage Onesite, or Entrata. Once the initial integration is complete, Move In, Move Out automation can be requested in Mission Control under the Integrations Tab or by reaching out to epms@latch.com.

FAQ

Q: When is resident access provisioned through Automated Access integration?

A: The resident access is provisioned when you update a resident's lease status to "current" in the PMS. Once the system detects this change, it assigns access to that resident with a start time of two hours after the status change is detected.

Q: When is resident access revoked through Automated Access integration?

A: The resident access is revoked when you update a resident's lease status to "past" in the PMS. Once the system detects this change, it revokes access to that resident within minutes.

How does the ePMS integrations work?

The integration is a one-way data feed that pulls resident information and lease details from Yardi, RealPage, and Entrata hourly to into Latch Mission Control. This eliminates double entry for the property manager, accelerates their day-to-day workflows, and ensures any changes to this information in the property management software are synced to Latch Mission Control.

What resident data is being synced from Yardi, RealPage, and Entrata?

Full name, email, mobile number, lease-start and lease-end dates, and move-in and move-out dates.

How often does the data from Yardi, RealPage, and Entrata sync to Latch?

The data feed syncs hourly. 

How does the Yardi, RealPage, and Entrata setup work?

Please refer to the setup instruction in this page. 

Is the ePMS Integrations data sync secure to ensure data privacy and security for personal information?

Yes. Data from property management software systems is transferred to an encrypted server. Latch is also pursuing SOC II accreditation.

If I delete a contact from Yardi, RealPage and Entrata, will it delete the contact in Latch Mission Control?

The contact will not automatically be deleted from Latch Mission Control. Instead, Latch Mission Control will ask the property manager to confirm the deletion first.
