From ring to record in four steps

Here's how a call plays out with Connect running alongside AppFolio Property Manager in Chrome or Edge.

  1. A call comes in

    Connect finds the tenant, owner, or vendor in AppFolio by their phone number.

  2. Their record appears

    The right AppFolio record is on screen before you answer, history and all.

  3. Focus on the conversation

    Recording and transcription run quietly in the background. Your hands stay free.

  4. AppFolio gets the recap

    An AI summary is saved as a note on the record. Missed calls are logged as well.

How does the AppFolio integration work?

Connect embeds into your AppFolio workflow through a Chrome or Edge extension and the SimpleVoIP mobile app. When a call comes in, the matching tenant, owner, or vendor record loads in your browser. When you call from AppFolio, it routes through SimpleVoIP so the interaction can be logged. Calls, AI summaries, and recordings (if enabled) attach to the right record automatically.

What happens when a tenant, owner, or vendor calls?

If the number matches a contact in AppFolio, their record opens automatically. Your team sees who's calling, their property details, and prior history without searching. The call is logged to the record, and AI-generated notes can be added based on your settings.

What happens if someone calls who isn't in AppFolio?

The call is handled normally and recorded if enabled. Unknown callers aren't automatically logged into AppFolio yet, but recordings and AI summaries stay available in SimpleVoIP. Future updates will add the option to create new guest records automatically.

Are missed calls tracked?

Yes. Unanswered calls still show up in AppFolio, so your team can see who reached out and call them back.

Can calls be recorded and transcribed? How long are recordings stored?

Yes. Recording and AI transcription can be turned on or off. Recordings are deleted automatically after one year, or you can provide your own Amazon S3 storage for longer retention. Recording disclosure requirements vary by state, and customers are responsible for any required disclosures.

How do we control which calls are recorded?

Choose inbound, outbound, internal, all calls, or none during onboarding or anytime after. You can also toggle recording in the Connect dial pad settings on desktop and mobile. Settings apply before a call begins; recording can't be switched on or off mid-call.

How long does implementation take?

Standard deployment is about two weeks after kickoff. Number porting usually takes 7 to 10 days once documentation is submitted. More complex implementations can take 4 to 6 weeks.

Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?

Yes. If the service isn't a fit within the first 60 days, you can cancel without penalty.

What analytics and reporting are included?

All standard reporting is included at no extra cost: call volume, team performance, missed calls, trends over time, and exportable reports. We can also set up executive summaries delivered daily, weekly, or monthly.

Are AI summaries and sentiment analysis included?

Yes. AI call summaries and sentiment analysis are included.

Does Connect work for field employees on mobile?

Yes. With the SimpleVoIP mobile app set as the default dialer, inbound and outbound calls are logged to AppFolio. Click-to-call and screen pops inside AppFolio work in the desktop browser extension.

Can we text from the platform?

Yes. Connect supports one-to-one SMS, and conversations can be logged to the matching contact record. A shared SMS inbox is available, and onboarding helps configure delivery rules.

Can we port all of our existing numbers, including direct dials?

Yes. Port as many numbers as you need, including direct employee numbers and main business lines.
