Integrate Your Online Form with Rent Manager with only Two Lines Of Magic Code #

With just two lines of code in your HTML form, your residents can submit information directly to Rent Manager as a service issue.

Typically, when the [Submit] button is clicked, forms send an email to a recipient. However, with Form2CRM, you simply change the form action by entering the URL of the Form2CRM server. Then, when someone clicks [Submit], the information is sent to Rent Manager directly through Aargh.

<form action="https://rent-manager.azurewebsites.net/api/Form2CRM" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" id="clientID" name="clientID" value="">

To work with whatever form platform you’re using, all you need to connect with Rent Manager is your two magic lines of code!

Ensure that the form action is set to submit to our Aargh servers on the Microsoft Azure platform. Aargh will parse the information from the form fields, look up the sender’s email address, find them in Rent Manager (including their unit and property), and map the details to a service ticket.

A Real Example Using Your Aargh ID #

In the hidden input field, make sure the value is set to your Aargh ID number. This is a 32-character code, separated by four hyphens, which looks something like this: f4768d52-5101-43e2-b142-123aa81fb333. Your firm will receive a unique number when you register for Form2CRM.

<form action="https://rent-manager.azurewebsites.net/api/Form2CRM" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" id="clientID" name="clientID" value="f4768d52-5101-43e2-b142-123aa81fb333">

How Do I Map Form Fields to Rent Manager Service Issue Fields and UDFs? (with Unique ID Names) #

By default, the information from the fields in the form are put into the “Description” fields in the service issue that gets created.

If you’ve used an identified field like “Email” on your form, then Aargh can look up the email address entered in Rent Manager, and assign the service issue to that resident.

Identified fields are known as “Unique ID Names” and there are many that you can use to help you have tighter integration with Rent Manager. That’s covered in the next chapter of this User Guide.

Can You Integrate Any Form Into Rent Manager Using Aargh? #

Aargh’s Form2CRM works with HTML forms on your website and any form platform that gives you access to changing the “post” behaviour on the form’s [Submit] button.
