Frontdesk runs automated multi-touch tour confirmation and reminder sequences across voice, SMS, and email — 24 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes before every scheduled apartment tour. Prospects confirm, reschedule, or cancel directly inside the conversation, and every change syncs to your PMS calendar in real time.
Engineered for multifamily leasing teams losing leases to preventable tour no-shows. Bidirectional sync with Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Handles tour reminders for prospects sourced from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, ApartmentList, HotPads, Rent.com, and Realtor.com Rentals across conventional, lease-up, build-to-rent, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC portfolios. A modern alternative to EliseAI, Funnel, Zuma, Respage, and Yardi Chat IQ for the confirmation-reminder workflow.

The Problem
A leasing consultant juggling 40+ tours per week cannot manually confirm each one across voice, SMS, and email. Reminders get skipped, prospects forget, and the unit sits empty during a missed appointment window.
A lone SMS 24 hours out doesn’t cut it. Different renter personas respond to different channels — Gen Z prefers SMS, families want a phone call, relocators read email. Without orchestration, the reminder lands in the wrong inbox.
When a prospect texts "can we move to Saturday?" at 9pm, no one is at the leasing office. By Monday the lead has booked at a competing community. PMS calendars and CRM guest cards never get updated.
Generic "your tour is tomorrow at 2pm" reminders don’t reference the floor plan, the move-in date, the pets, or the parking spot the prospect asked about. Cold reminders feel like spam and get muted.

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk fires reminder sequences at 24 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes before every scheduled tour — orchestrated across SMS, AI voice, email, and WhatsApp based on the renter’s preferred channel and historical engagement.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
Prospects reply with a single word — "yes", "reschedule", "cancel" — and the AI handles it end-to-end. New tours are booked into the next available leasing-team slot and the original calendar event is released.
More capabilities
Every reminder references the specific floor plan, move-in date, pet count, parking needs, and concessions discussed in the original inquiry. The AI pulls that context from Knock CRM, Funnel CRM, and Yardi RentCafe — never sends a cold "your tour is tomorrow" message.
For self-guided tours, Frontdesk verifies smart-lock provisioning, ID-check completion, and consent capture before the tour window opens. Prospects who haven’t finished pre-tour steps get an escalating reminder until they complete.
Confirmation rate by community, by channel, by ILS source, and by tour type. Spot which reminder cadences move the needle and which leak prospects to the no-show recovery flow.
