AppFolio Integration & Partner Program

Approximate timeline from initiation to signed contract: 3+ months

There are two ways to integrate with AppFolio:

  • Stack Marketplace (Paid Integration): Available to customers on Core & Plus subscription tiers. Includes listing in the AppFolio Stack marketplace. Vendors pay an annual fee and may be subject to revenue share.
  • Database API (Free Integration): Requires AppFolio customers on Plus (read-only) or Max (read/write) plans. Vendors must be provisioned credentials directly by the client. This option does not include marketplace listing or partnership endorsement.

For the smoothest setup experience, you can work directly with AppFolio to request integration credentials without needing to mention third-party tools like Propexo. AppFolio will typically offer a direct integration via either Stack or their database API and provide the necessary credentials. This approach keeps the process straightforward and avoids any unnecessary back-and-forth about vendor relationships.

Step 2: Credential Provisioning

The AppFolio client must retrieve and share the following credentials with your team:

  • Client ID (Available in Developer Space > Dashboard > Access Credential Management)
  • Client Secret (Generated in the same location)

Step 3: Begin Development

Once credentials are received, you can begin accessing the AppFolio Database API using the appropriate endpoints. This API offers:

  • Read-only access for Plus clients
  • Read/write access for Max clients

Note: Database API integrations are not certified or listed by AppFolio and do not require partnership approval.
