Create a unique User Name and Password. For example:

Review Leads - Web Version
Our leads will populate into the Lead to Lease section of your Sitelink account. To get there, choose Lead to Lease from the Home page, or navigate to Operations then Lead to Lease.
Under Customer, select “Follow up & Reminders”
Your leads live here and are automatically sorted from newest to oldest.
Here is what one of our leads looks like:
Users are able to provide their name, phone, email, unit, and size to your bot. Everything else gets set automatically. For example, Follow-up and Placed are set to the current date and Expires is set to one week from the current date.
Please note that while we strive for accuracy, Unit and Size may not always be completely accurate. This is because Sitelink requires them to be set, and sometimes we are forced to choose the smallest available option.
It's also worth noting that the Source field is set to "swivl" for all leads generated by your bot. When a lead is converted into a tenant, their Source will remain the same. By pulling reports of tenants whose Source is set to "swivl", you can track your bot conversions more effectively.
