PropertyGoose × Alto

    The integration that works both ways.

    Alto sends the portfolio to PropertyGoose. PropertyGoose returns the contacts, tenancies, decisions, documents, readings and appointments it creates, so Alto stays the CRM record without your team retyping the work.

    Four steps. Only one belongs to your team.

    PropertyGoose holds the Alto partner credentials. Your team never generates a key or handles a client secret.

      Give us the Agency Ref

      One GUID from Alto, plus the branch to sync. That is the whole ask. The Agency Ref is stored encrypted against your company.

      We test the connection live

      PropertyGoose requests a token, calls Alto with the Agency Ref and returns a clear pass or fail. Nothing is scheduled until the test is green.

      The first sync brings the portfolio in

      Properties, landlords, live tenancies, offers and move-outs arrive in order, each linked to its Alto record.

      You choose when write-back starts

      Tenancy write-back has its own switch. Start read-only, check the imported book, then enable writing when you are ready.

    What moves

    Two directions. The return leg is the difference.

    The portfolio comes in. The work PropertyGoose completes goes back against the right Alto record.

    Clocked where needed. Immediate where it matters.

    Portfolio data refreshes on a schedule. Decisions and tenancy events push when the work is done.

    On connection

    First sync

    The portfolio arrives in linking order: properties, landlords, tenancies, offers, then move-outs.

    Every hour

    Portfolio refresh

    The five main entities re-sync for each connected branch. A failure at one agency does not block another.

    Every 15 minutes

    Outbound document queue

    Queued agreements and reports reach Alto through a durable delivery queue.

    02:00 nightly

    Document sweep

    Unsent generated documents are queued, while new Alto property documents become compliance records.

    At the event

    Immediate write-back

    Conversions, decisions, activations, meter readings and appointments push when the work is done.

    The tenancy journey

    One applicant. Followed through both systems.

    The four questions agents ask.

    How long will this take my team?+
    About two minutes. Give us the Alto Agency Ref and choose the branch. You do not generate an API key, handle a secret or book developer time. The portfolio arrives on the next hourly sync.
    Will it overwrite what is already in Alto?+
    No. Write-back creates and appends contacts, tenancies, documents, notes and events. It does not delete Alto records. Tenancy write-back starts switched off and is enabled deliberately for your agency.
    What happens if Alto is unavailable?+
    PropertyGoose carries on. Pushes use retries and a durable queue, so a brief outage delays the update instead of blocking your staff or losing the work. A failed push is recorded against the tenancy.
    Do we still have to key tenancies in twice?+
    No. You can create the full tenancy in PropertyGoose and Alto with two clicks of the mouse. PropertyGoose creates the tenant and guarantor contacts, links each guarantor to the right tenant, and raises the proposed tenancy in Alto with the rent, term and start date. It also pushes Section notices and end-of-tenancy notifications back to the right Alto record.
    Already using Alto?

    Bring the portfolio in. Stop keying it twice.

    Give us the Agency Ref and choose the branch. We will test the connection before anything syncs.
