Step 1: Basic info

Property name

Property name is the basic characteristic that differentiates the property from others and will be displayed across all the Sales Channels the property is connected to. The maximum length of the Property name field in Rentals United is 150 characters, yet for the best performance Rentals United recommends providing a name of approximately 70 characters.

Rentals United uses the property name provided in "lot_accr" . If the "lot_accr" element is empty, then we use the data available in "lot_desc". We will synchronise only the first 80 characters from this field.

For clients who joined Rentals United before 2024-02-22, if the "lot_accr" element is empty, then we use the data available in "imme_nom".

First, Rentals United checks if "lot_surf_habitable" element contains any data. If the element is empty, then Rentals United uses "lot_surf_totale". The values is saved as m2.

The only data point in the address section that is directly retrieved from Arkiane is the street name and number. The remaining address fields are filled in on the basis of geo-coordinates retrieved from Arkiane.
