Needs Action

One count for what actually needs you, not for everything that happened.

RealtyPA sorts every alert into Needs action, For your information and Digest. The bell badge counts Needs action only. A new enquiry earns it, so does a listing that failed to publish to a portal, a task or appointment reminder, a new or cancelled viewing booking and an RSVP. What is deliberately demoted is routine portal chatter, so a listing that published cleanly never inflates the number.

  3. 3

    Answer from the row

    A new lead row carries the enquirer's phone number, so it shows WhatsApp and Call. WhatsApp opens the chat, Call dials, Archive files the row.

  4. 4

    Work the Leads list

    Open Leads for the fuller picture. Stages run New, Active, Won, Lost, Archived, and the list filters on Source, Property and Created.

Why it matters

Built for the way South African agents actually work.

The badge counts needs-action only

A new enquiry, a failed publish to Property24 or Private Property, a task or appointment reminder and a new viewing booking all count as Needs action. A listing that published cleanly is stamped For your information instead, so portal sync traffic stays off the number.

Answer straight from the alert

A lead notification carries the person's phone number, so the row itself shows WhatsApp and Call. WhatsApp opens the chat, Call dials. No trip into the record first.

Questions

About Needs Action.

Does RealtyPA score my leads out of 100?

No. There is no numeric lead score in RealtyPA. Leads are triaged two ways: notification priority, where a new enquiry lands as Needs action, and stage on Leads, which runs New, Active, Won, Lost, Archived.

Does this replace the agent's judgement?

It does not try to. Nothing is inferred or predicted. You see the enquirer's name, the source, the property and the message, and you decide who to call first.

Where do I see what needs attention?

The bell in the top bar carries a needs-action count, capped at 9 plus so the pill never bloats. Click it to open the Notifications page, then filter by Type.
