Between leasing properties, supporting residents, coordinating property visits, and managing day-to-day operations, property management teams are constantly balancing competing priorities.
Administrative tasks can quickly consume a large portion of the workday, and as portfolios grow, those repetitive processes only become more time-consuming.
What if some of those tasks could be automated?
That’s where Showami’s API comes in.
Showami’s API helps property management teams automate rental showings and streamline operations, giving them more time to focus on growing their business.
How Much Time Are Manual Tasks Really Costing You?
Administrative tasks may seem small on their own, but they add up quickly.
To see how quickly the time adds up, consider this example.
If it takes five minutes to manually create a rental showing request and your team makes 250 requests per month, that’s more than 20 hours spent creating requests alone.
At an average labor cost of $25 per hour, that’s more than $500 per month spent on a task that can be automated.
Now consider the additional time spent scheduling property visits, coordinating inspections, updating records, and managing communication between systems.
Automation helps reduce those repetitive tasks so teams can spend more time focused on leasing activity, resident support, and growing their portfolio.
How Showami’s API Works for Property Managers
Showami’s API connects to your CRM, property management software, or existing system to help automate daily processes.
Instead of manually creating requests, your system can automatically submit rental showing requests, track activity, and receive updates throughout the process.
For example, when a prospective tenant requests a tour through your website, CRM, or leasing platform, that information can automatically be sent to the Showami network without requiring your team to manually create a request.
From there, Showami helps coordinate showing coverage while keeping your team informed every step of the way.
The result is a more efficient rental showing process that helps prospective tenants gain faster access to properties and reduces administrative work for your team.
Who Can Access Showami’s API Automation?
Showami’s API is available to Property Management Pro accounts.
Whether you’re looking to automate rental showing requests, manage property-related tasks, or streamline internal workflows, Showami’s API can help connect the systems your team already uses.
Simplify Rental Showing Requests with Templates
For property management companies submitting frequent rental showing requests, Showami’s Property Management Pro solution makes it easy to save time with customizable showing templates. Create multiple templates with common property notes, access instructions, and other frequently used details so your team can submit requests faster without entering the same information every time.
Whether you’re managing multiple rental properties or following the same showing process across your portfolio, templates help keep rental showing requests consistent while reducing repetitive work. It’s one more way Showami helps property managers streamline leasing operations and keep rental showings moving.
Key Rental and Property Management API Endpoints
Showami’s API includes several endpoints designed to help property management companies automate the rental showing process.
Create Rental Showings
The Create Rental endpoint allows property managers to automatically create one or multiple rental showing requests.
Instead of manually entering information into multiple systems, requests can be submitted automatically, helping prospective tenants schedule tours more efficiently.
View Rental Requests
The Rental Requests endpoint provides a list of rental showings initiated by the authenticated user. This helps teams stay organized and maintain visibility into showing activity across their portfolio.
Access Rental Request Details
The Rental Request by ID endpoint allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific rental showing request.
This makes it easier to track showings and stay informed throughout the process.
Cancel Rental Showings
Schedules change.
The Cancel Rental endpoint allows property managers to quickly cancel existing rental showings when needed, helping keep schedules accurate and up to date.
Automate Property Data Collection
Accurate property information is critical for property management teams.
The Create Property Data Collection endpoint allows teams to create Property Data Collection requests for inspections and other property-related tasks.
Create and Manage Property Tasks
Property management involves much more than leasing.
The Create Task List endpoint allows teams to create property tasks requests, while the Accept Task List endpoint allows users to accept and complete those assignments.
This helps tasks activities such as:
Benefits of Rental Showing Automation

- Improve response times
- Create a better experience for prospective tenants
- Increase operational efficiency
- Support portfolio growth without adding unnecessary workload
The less time your team spends managing repetitive tasks, the more time they can spend leasing properties, supporting residents, and delivering exceptional service.
