Overview
Other Triggers covers changes to a rental property that are not status moves — most usefully, a tag being added.
Tagging a rental rehab, for example, can automatically text your vendor and create the work for your team.
Steps
Part 1: Build the Automation
Step 1: Open your rental triggers
Go to Automations.
Click Rentals.
Select Other Triggers.
Click Add Automation and enter a name.
Step 2: Choose the condition
Select what should trigger the automation.
The video uses a tag being added — specifically a rehab tag on a rental property.
Click Save.
Step 3: Set your timing
Choose your delay preference.
Step 4: Add an SMS step
You can message the seller, buyer, agent, or vendor.
For rehab work, the vendor is usually the right recipient:
Select the vendor.
Choose their contact information.
Choose which number the message sends from.
The vendor needs to exist on your account for you to select them.
Step 5: Add any other steps
You can also:
Create a task for your team
Add a note
Manage tags
Add a webhook
Change the property's status
Assign team members
Notify team members
Step 6: Save
Click Save.
Part 2: Test It
Step 7: Check the property first
Open a rental property and check its automations. There should be none running.
Step 8: Meet the condition
Add the tag your automation watches for — rehab in this example.
Step 9: Confirm it ran
Check the property's automations again. Yours will be enabled.
Several automations can run on one property at once. If more than one has conditions that are met, all of them activate.
Click the automation to see its scheduled actions with their execution date and time.
Important Notes
A tag is the trigger here, so this works well as a manual switch — someone tags a property and the follow-up work starts by itself.
Vendors can receive the SMS, which makes this a practical way to get a contractor contacted the moment a rehab is flagged.
The vendor must already exist on your account to be selected as a recipient.
If two automations share a condition, both fire. That is expected behaviour, not a fault.
A webhook step lets the event reach a system outside REsimpli.
Troubleshooting
Your automation did not trigger
Check the tag you added matches the tag on the automation exactly.
You cannot select the vendor you want
They need to be added as a vendor on your account first.
Two automations ran on the same property
That is expected if both had their conditions met. Several can be active at once.
Your SMS did not send
Check the recipient, their contact information, and the sending number on the SMS step.
You want to know when a step will run
Open the automation from the property. Each step shows its execution date and time.
Summary
You built an automation on a rental property change. You opened Automations, Rentals, and Other Triggers, and set the condition to a tag such as rehab being added. You added an SMS to your vendor, plus tasks, notes, tags, status changes, assignments, and notifications. You then tested it by adding the tag to a rental property and confirmed the scheduled actions on its record.
