Sep 9, 2021 3:59:54 PM / by Sam McArtor

Prospects can now launch Rentgrata Messenger from Google My Business, Internet Listing Services, Instagram, Facebook, Yelp, and more! See below for detailed instructions on where to place your community's Rentgrata Messenger Links and how to do it!

Where to find a property's Rentgrata Messenger Link

Log into Rentgrata Manager and navigate to your community. At the top of the page, you will find a link to copy to your clipboard. 

After clicking the link, prospective renters will be redirected to a stand alone page where they can initiate a chat with a resident and contact the property. Depending on your communities current integrations with Rentgrata, prospects may also be able to schedule a tour, look at floor plans, check availability, review the gallery, and more. If you would like additional features to be displayed on your property's Rentgrata Messenger Link page, or if you would like Rentgrata to provide you with a list of all of the property's Rentgrata Messenger Links for your management company, please contact your client success manager. 

This link is also available as a QR Code for your community! Find your community's QR code in Rentgrata Manager.
