Why?

Promoting your your business and your listings is RealtyZapp's #1 goal. We believe that the best way to reach that goal is to afford you the ability to promote your content all over the Internet marketplace be it websites, social media sites, email, etc. It's all about you and RealtyZapp is perfectly fine with taking backstage and letting you be in the spotlight.

You will use the Share and Embed tool to produce links and embed code to your RealtyZapp pages. A simple example might be to paste a link to one of your listings in an email. Another example might be to embed your full profile page (live and interactive) on your own business website.

What?

Sharing is one of the most powerful methods of promoting your business and properties. Not only do you want to share your content but you also want visitors to share your pages all over the Internet. RealtyZapp provides sharing tools (buttons) on your listing pages and your profile page when viewed at RealtyZapp's website. The sharing tools are powered by AddThis.com. Visit the Addthis.com website for more information.

Links can be used to share your RealtyZapp content anywhere that allows you to paste a link. For example you can pasts a link in an email and many social media posts i.e. LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

Embed Code is a feature that allows you to show (embed) your RealtyZapp content on other websites and social sites. The simplest method is to use our Share and Embed tool to produce the HTML code that you can then paste into your website or social media page (provided the page allows you to).

Leads

Capturing leads is a great tool for building your business. Leads provides you a form that can be customized to serve many purposes i.e. a contact me form or a newsletter signup form. When the form is submitted, the system will create a Message for you. An email will also be sent to you (provided you have not disabled conversations in your Profile - Privacy Settings). In Messages you can create a Contact from the message.

• type - any value you want. This will be tagged on the message that is created. Some examples are Newsletter, Website, Facebook, ContactMe. Think of it as a way to identify the source or category of the lead.
  
• title - the large type title that appears at the top of the form. Leave it blank to omit a title.
  
• subtitle - a smaller type subtitle. Leave it blank to omit a subtitle.
  
• email or phone - allow user to provide email or phone or either (anything).
  
• subject - optional, provide a prefilled subject line. Check the hide box to hide the subject box from the user. The subject box can be hidden and still have a prefilled value.
  
• body - optional, provide a pre filled message body. Check the hide box to hide the message body box from the user. The message body box can be hidden and still have a prefilled value.
  
• button - provide the text to show on the Send button.
  
• acknowledgement - provide the text of a message that appears to the user after they send the form.

The Leads form shown in the preview is a real, live form. Go ahead and try it out. It will send you a message. Go to your Dashboard - Message to see the message.

Scouts

As you probably know, on the Find page, you can create and save find filters affectionately known as Scouts. Scouts can be represented as links. These scout links can be shared like any other link. You can get any scout's link on the Find page. Select the scout and click the (down) icon.

Publish API

RealtyZapp's publication API can be used to generate a pdf file from any RealtyZapp url, especially well suited for profile and listing pages. In the near future this API will be expanded with more features but for now you can use like this...

Publication URL is https://realtyzapp.com/Publish?type=pdf&pageHeight={inches}&pageWidth={inches}&height={pixels}&width={pixels}&url={page url} where the page url is a embed link. You can see this in action on the Links page. The pdf links use the Publish API.

There is one requirement, the embed link query string parameters have to be altered slightly. The "&" (ampersand) character has to be replaced with the "|" (pipe) character.
