AppFolio Production Checklist

Overview

AppFolio manages properties, tenants, leases, and work orders for real estate operations. A production integration handles sensitive tenant PII, financial transactions, and maintenance workflows. Failures here mean missed rent collections, unprocessed work orders, or tenant data exposure under CCPA. This checklist ensures your AppFolio API integration is resilient, compliant, and observable.

Prerequisites

• A verified production partner contract, base URL, auth mechanism, permitted endpoint scopes, and named owners for business, security, operations, and rollback decisions.
• A completed sandbox rehearsal using synthetic data, separate managed credentials, a request budget, and a recorded rollback/reconciliation plan.
• Evidence for observability, PII minimization, idempotent writes, and alert routing—not a checklist item that merely asserts those controls exist.
