The easiest setup is for your CRM to export a property feed to TLH. We receive the feed, store it safely, map the fields into the TLH Property Studio format, and import listings as drafts for review unless publishing is explicitly agreed.
What To Ask For
Ask Your CRM For A Portal Feed
Send this request to your CRM provider or account manager:
Please enable a property export feed for The Latest Homes. We need a portal/property feed for Vebra/Alto, REX CRM or another CRM provider, including sales and lettings listings, media, floorplans, EPCs, brochures, branch identifiers, status updates and price changes.
- Feed format: XML, JSON or CSV where available; BLM or API export can also be reviewed.
- Delivery: HTTPS POST to TLH, or FTP/SFTP if required.
- Update frequency: ideally daily or whenever listings change.
- Sample file and field guide for testing.
REX CRM Checklist
What To Request From REX
If your agency uses REX CRM, ask REX or your CRM support contact for a sample export before TLH confirms the exact mapping.
- Property feed/export endpoint or scheduled export details.
- Sample file in XML, JSON or CSV where available.
- Image, media, floorplan, EPC and brochure URLs.
- Price, address, descriptions, status, bedrooms, bathrooms and property type fields.
- Branch, office and agent contact details.
- Whether the feed can include sales and lettings, plus live, withdrawn, sold STC, under offer and let agreed statuses.
TLH Receiving Details
Where The Feed Should Go
For HTTPS delivery, your CRM provider can send the feed here:
POST https://us-central1-thelatesthomes-394aa.cloudfunctions.net/receiveCrmPropertyFeed
Header: x-tlh-feed-token: tlh-crm-feed-2026
Optional: x-tlh-feed-source: vebra-alto, rex-crm or provider-name
Optional: x-tlh-agent-email: your-public-agent-email
Optional: x-tlh-agent-uid: TLH agent profile UID
During BETA, TLH requires the feed to identify the agent by a known TLH profile UID or email before imported listings can be assigned or published. Items without a matched agent are kept as unassigned drafts for admin review.
The TLH team can also provide alternative delivery details if your CRM only supports FTP/SFTP.
Fields Needed
What The Feed Should Include
- Unique property reference / external ID.
- Sale or lettings department.
- Marketing status: Available, Under Offer, SSTC, Sold, Let Agreed, Withdrawn.
- Price, previous price and price-change date where available.
- Property type, bedrooms, bathrooms and description.
- Address, town, county, postcode and coordinates if available.
- Photo URLs, floorplans, EPCs and brochure links.
- Branch/office ID and public contact email.
Review Process
How TLH Handles Imports
Imported CRM listings are treated carefully so your public presentation remains controlled.
- TLH receives and stores the raw CRM feed.
- The importer maps fields into the Property Studio format.
- Listings are imported as drafts by default.
- Your team can review images, descriptions and documents.
- Listings are published when ready.
This protects your brand and supports the TLH Style Guide standards before anything goes public.
BETA Process
What Happens After The Sample Feed?
- TLH reviews the sample file and confirms the exact field mapping.
- A test import is run into draft listings, not straight onto the public website.
- Your team and TLH check the imported property details, images, floorplans, EPCs, descriptions and statuses.
- If Vebra/Alto, REX CRM or another provider uses different field names or media structures, TLH reviews and tunes the parser during BETA.
- Once the import is reliable, we agree whether future updates stay as draft/review or can sync automatically.
During BETA, TLH will prioritise accuracy and presentation over speed. The aim is to make sure the feed works properly before any agent relies on it for live publishing.
