CRM, API, and export strategy

Keep your CRM. Fix what happens before the lead gets there.

AIRES sits between the public website and the brokerage sales stack. It captures richer context, routes ownership, proves follow-up, then hands clean records to the CRM, spreadsheet, or API workflow the team already uses.

The handoff model

Your brokerage turns website activity into CRM-ready records.

Most real estate CRMs are only as good as the data they receive. AIRES captures the context first, then decides whether the next step should be export, webhook delivery, API sync, or a broker accountability report.

Capture

Website and event leads enter AIRES first.

Forms, curated listing clicks, registration visitors, agent pages, and campaign sources arrive with the context a CRM usually misses.

Normalize

AIRES cleans the record before handoff.

The Hub stores source, project, intent, assignee, journey summary, task state, and routing history so exports and sync jobs are useful instead of messy.

Route

Ownership is decided before the CRM receives it.

Project rules, manual overrides, agent-on-duty logic, and fallback owners determine who is responsible for follow-up.

Handoff

Send the right payload to the right system.

CSV exports, saved presets, webhook destinations, Follow Up Boss-style payloads, and HubSpot-friendly layouts give teams a practical path into existing tools.

What AIRES keeps

The Hub preserves the context the CRM usually loses.

  • Visitor journey and source context before the form was submitted.
  • Project, listing, community, registration event, and campaign identifiers.
  • Assigned agent, team, fallback owner, and routing history.
  • Smart List state, first-contact risk, overdue tasks, and status changes.
  • Broker-friendly AI summary and recommended next step.
  • Delivery logs, retry state, export presets, and CRM handoff history.

Integration paths

Start simple, then automate the parts that prove valuable.

CSV Export

Best for: Brokerages that still work from spreadsheets or need a simple weekly handoff.

Filtered exports can include source, project, agent, AI summary, task context, and current status.

Saved Export Presets

Best for: Teams that need different files for broker review, Follow Up Boss, HubSpot, or leadership reporting.

Column layouts can be reused so Monday reports and CRM-ready files do not need to be rebuilt every time.

Webhook/API Handoff

Best for: Teams ready to connect AIRES to an existing CRM, automation tool, or business system.

Your operations team can queue delivery jobs, validate payloads, retry failures, and preserve delivery history for review.

Migration Import

Best for: Brokerages moving old spreadsheet or CRM exports into a cleaner operating workflow.

Dry-run import, mapping, duplicate handling, audit CSVs, and rollback support make onboarding less risky.

Works with the current stack

Your team can hand off to familiar brokerage systems.

Start with export, then automate

The cleanest first-client path is usually CSV/export plus a broker dashboard. Once the fields are confirmed, the same data can be pushed by webhook or API.

Use the CRM as the system of record when needed

Your brokerage does not need to replace its CRM. The launch workflow can sit in front of it as the website, routing, registration, and accountability layer.

Keep credentials out of the public site

Production CRM tokens should live in secure server-side configuration, not in page markup or client-facing settings.

CRM readiness checklist

What a brokerage should bring to the first handoff conversation.

The first integration milestone should be practical and verifiable. Your team can begin with export, then move into automated sync once the field map, owner rules, and credential path are clear.

See the safe sample pilot path
Current system

CRM name, account owner, API/webhook availability, and whether the brokerage can export contacts or leads today.

Required fields

Name, email, phone, lead source, project/listing, assigned agent, status, notes, tags, timeline, and any required custom fields.

Ownership rules

Who should receive buyer, seller, listing, registration, and fallback leads before AIRES sends the record downstream.

Day-one handoff

Decide whether launch starts with filtered CSV, saved export preset, manual CRM sync, or a webhook/API destination.

Credential path

Confirm who can create API keys or webhook tokens, then keep those credentials outside public pages and screenshots.

Success proof

Pick a first report: new leads, unassigned leads, stale follow-up, source quality, event visitors, or CRM handoff history.

First launch CRM path

Choose the smallest handoff that proves value.

Your brokerage does not need to force every launch into the same integration on day one. The best path depends on CRM access, approval process, and how quickly the team needs a working launch.

Lowest-friction start

CSV export plus broker dashboard

Use this when the client needs to see value quickly, the CRM access path is unclear, or the team wants to approve field mapping before automation.

Operational middle ground

Saved export presets and queued handoff jobs

Use this when different teams need different layouts, such as broker review, agent follow-up, Follow Up Boss import, or HubSpot import.

Automated path

Webhook/API destination with delivery logs

Use this after the client confirms required fields, endpoint credentials, failure handling, and who owns exceptions.

Discovery prompts

Questions to answer before API work begins.

  1. Which CRM or spreadsheet does the brokerage use today?
  2. Can the team export a sample lead/contact CSV from that system?
  3. Which fields must be present before a lead is considered usable?
  4. Should AIRES or the existing CRM decide the assigned agent?
  5. What should happen when a sync fails or a required field is missing?
  6. Who needs to receive the weekly broker accountability export?
