AppFolio — Property & Tenant Management

Overview

Primary workflow for AppFolio property management integration. Covers the full property lifecycle: creating and updating property records, managing tenant profiles and lease agreements, and querying occupancy data. Uses the AppFolio Stack API with OAuth 2.0 client credentials for server-to-server access. All endpoints return JSON and support pagination via cursor parameters for large portfolios.

Prerequisites

• A current AppFolio partner/API contract that confirms the assigned portfolio base URL, authentication method, approved scopes, and write capabilities; do not infer these from a tutorial or another portfolio.
• A separate sandbox with disposable properties, units, and synthetic tenant records, plus a credential owner and an approved request budget.
• Idempotency keys and an operator-approved rollback/reconciliation process for property, tenant, and lease writes, which can create real legal and billing consequences.
