The first step to be able to publish your properties in a real estate portal from Witei is: activate their interconnection.
Therefore, in this article we will show you:
A. How do I activate a publishing interconnection?
It is important that before activating the interconnections to portals you have all the properties correct and with all the necessary information included. To activate each interconnection you must follow these same steps:
Settings > Property Manager > Interconnections > Activate interconnections
Once you have activated a interconnection you can check if it is synchronizing at:
1. Settings > Property Manager > Interconnections.
2. Check the "synchronization time", it indicates that the properties sent there have not suffered any changes.
3. If you have made updates and the synchronization time has not been updated, please contact us to check it.
If you have doubts about how to enable the main interconnections to portals here you can see some help documents:
Remember that each interconnection is independent and must be enabled individually. From the section "Activate interconnections" you will find each of the available interconnections.
Important: if you are using a interconnection shared with another workspace, the limit of ads to publish on that portal will be common between both. It cannot be defined individually.

You can choose which information is published by going to:
Settings.
Property Manager.
Interconnetions > Click on the "edit button" if you want other contact information to be shown. Note that if you do not configure anything there the data that will be shown by default will be agency's general information.
There you can edit the information you publish: that of the agency (appears by default) or that of the assigned property's commercial.
Remember: check that the user's information is correct before activating the publication of the assigned property's commercial data.
C. Activating interconnections to portals that do not require additional data
Important: when you activate a interconnection, you must have the perfect ads in Witei, because these are the ones that will prevail and will be sent to the portals.

Finally, remember that if you have already activated and set up the interconnections to the portals you are interested in, you can start managing the publication of your properties on the portals from Witei.
