How This Automation Works
Lease Agreement Signed → Portal Account Created and Credentials Sent
Detect Lease Activation
Monitor the property management system for newly signed lease agreements or lease status changes to 'active'. Capture tenant details including name, email, phone number, unit assignment, lease type, and start date automatically.
Validate Tenant Information
Verify that all required tenant data fields are complete and properly formatted. Check for duplicate accounts, validate email addresses, and confirm unit availability before proceeding with account creation.
Create Portal Account
Generate a unique tenant portal account with secure credentials. Configure user profile with tenant information, assign unique identifier, and establish account security settings including password requirements and multi-factor authentication options.
Configure Access Permissions
Apply role-based access controls based on lease type and tenant classification. Enable appropriate portal features such as maintenance requests, payment processing, facility reservations, document access, and community announcements.
Generate Login Credentials
Create secure, unique login credentials with temporary password or activation link. Set expiration timeframes for initial credentials and configure password reset workflows for ongoing access management.
Send Welcome Communication
Deliver branded welcome email containing portal URL, login credentials, activation instructions, and quick start guide. Include property contact information, support resources, and links to facility policies and procedures.
Track Activation Status
Monitor portal login activity to track account activation. Send reminder emails for unactivated accounts after 48 hours and alert property management staff for follow-up on accounts inactive after 7 days.
Synchronize Ongoing Changes
Maintain continuous synchronization between property management system and portal accounts. Automatically update permissions when lease terms change, suspend access when leases expire, and archive accounts after move-out completion.
How It Works
Transform tenant onboarding by eliminating manual portal setup tasks. This system automatically creates personalized tenant portal accounts when lease agreements are finalized, configures role-based access to maintenance requests, payment systems, and facility resources, and sends customized welcome emails with secure login credentials. The process integrates with property management systems to synchronize tenant data, set appropriate permission levels based on lease type, and track portal adoption rates. By automating portal provisioning, facilities teams reduce onboarding time from days to minutes while ensuring consistent access control and improved tenant satisfaction from day one.
The Trigger
When a new lease agreement is electronically signed or manually marked as active in the property management system, the portal provisioning process initiates immediately, capturing tenant contact information, unit details, and lease parameters.
The Action
The system automatically generates a secure portal account with appropriate permissions, configures access to relevant facility services based on lease type, creates personalized login credentials, and sends a branded welcome email with activation instructions and support resources to the tenant.
Common Use Cases in Facilities
- Multi-family residential properties automatically provision portal accounts for hundreds of new tenants during peak leasing season, delivering consistent onboarding experiences at scale
- Commercial office buildings create tiered portal access for different tenant types, giving retail tenants payment and maintenance features while enterprise tenants receive additional facility reservation and visitor management capabilities
- Mixed-use developments integrate portal provisioning with smart building systems, automatically granting tenants access to mobile credentials, parking systems, and amenity reservations based on lease specifications
- Student housing facilities sync portal setup with university enrollment systems, creating accounts for incoming residents and configuring roommate groupings and shared space access automatically
- Industrial facilities provision contractor portal accounts with time-limited access based on project duration, automatically expiring credentials when work authorization periods end
- Senior living communities create family portal accounts linked to resident accounts, enabling adult children to monitor maintenance requests and payment status while respecting privacy boundaries
- Property management companies operating multiple locations use standardized portal provisioning across their portfolio, ensuring consistent tenant experiences regardless of building or market
Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Manual Provisioning
Remove time-consuming manual account creation, permission configuration, and credential distribution tasks. Staff focus on high-value tenant relationships instead of administrative portal setup work.
Accelerate Tenant Onboarding
Provide instant portal access within minutes of lease signing instead of waiting 2-3 days for manual provisioning. Tenants begin using self-service features immediately upon move-in.
Improve Portal Adoption
Timely access delivery and professional onboarding communications increase portal engagement. Tenants who receive instant credentials are significantly more likely to actively use portal features.
Ensure Access Consistency
Eliminate human errors in permission assignment and credential delivery. Automated role-based access ensures every tenant receives exactly the portal features appropriate for their lease type.
Reduce Support Requests
Clear automated communications and properly configured accounts minimize password reset requests, access permission questions, and portal navigation support calls.
Enhance Security Compliance
Automated provisioning enforces consistent security policies, proper permission boundaries, and audit-compliant access controls. System logs provide complete visibility into account creation and permission changes.
