What to do + Why it's needed
Domain name approval
Pending
Purchase gilchristpropertymanagement.com at namecheap.com — $10–20/yr. Gives the website a professional domain instead of the vercel.app URL.
Chatbot message approval
✓ Complete
John approved all Megan SMS scripts — all 16 stages confirmed ✓
AppFolio widget embed code
Pending
AppFolio → Settings > Website > Listings Widget → copy the iframe code and send to Brock. Embeds your live AppFolio listings directly on the website so tenants can browse and apply without leaving the page.
Facebook page Editor access
Pending
On your Gilchrist & Company Facebook page → Settings > Page Roles → add brockfoster21@gmail.com as Editor. Required for Brock to set up the Facebook lead chatbot (ManyChat) that routes Facebook inquiries into Megan's pipeline.
Twilio signup
Pending
Sign up at twilio.com (free, $15 trial credit included) → send Brock: Account SID, Auth Token, and phone number. Twilio is the phone service that powers all of Megan's SMS messages — without it, the leasing agent can't send or receive texts.
Calendly setup
Pending
Sign up at calendly.com (free plan) → set your available showing days and times → send Brock the link. Tenants use this link to self-schedule their own showings after Megan approves them — no back-and-forth needed.
AppFolio webhook setup
Pending
Step 1 (Brock): Generate the webhook URL once Twilio is live and send it to John. Step 2 (John): Go to AppFolio → Settings > API & Integrations > Webhooks → paste in the URL. This tells Megan instantly when a tenant submits an application so she can send the confirmation text — last step before she's fully live.
Lockbox codes
Pending
Text or email Brock the current lockbox code for each vacant property. He'll enter them into the system. Megan texts tenants their lockbox code automatically after they send a photo ID — she sends "XXXX" until the real codes are in the system.
