A buyer finds the perfect home and wants to see it today.
You’re in a listing appointment, showing homes to another client, or simply don’t have time to coordinate showing coverage.
Sound familiar?
One of the biggest challenges agents face is staying responsive while managing a busy schedule. That’s why more brokerages are turning to automated showings.
With Showami’s API Automation, brokerages can automate showing requests from the systems they already use. Instead of manually creating requests, agents and teams can streamline the process, reduce admin work, and help buyers gain quicker access to homes.
What Are Automated Showings?
Automated showings allow brokerages and real estate teams to streamline the showing process by integrating Showami’s API with their CRM or existing back-office system, making it easier to create, manage, and track showing requests.
Rather than logging into multiple platforms and manually creating requests, your system can communicate directly with Showami through API automation.
This creates a smoother workflow for agents while helping buyers see homes faster.
As one of the leading real estate showing apps and real estate showing services available today, Showami helps agents stay responsive, protect their time, and deliver a better experience for their clients.
Who Can Access Showami’s API?
Showami’s API Automation is currently available to:
- Elite Brokerage Solution accounts
- Property Management Pro accounts
- Advanced Enterprise accounts
Whether you’re looking to automate your user roster, create showing requests automatically, or integrate Showami into your existing workflow, our automation solution is ready to help.
Why Automate Showing Requests?
Less worry when your team isn’t available.
When you connect Showami’s API to your current system, you can create workflows that work the way your team does. Need to check if one of your agents is available first? No problem. If no one on your team can cover the showing, the request can automatically be sent to Showami, so buyers aren’t left waiting and your team doesn’t have to manage the process manually.
Benefits of automated showings include:
- Save Time: Reduce the time spent manually creating requests and coordinating schedules.
- Stay Responsive: Help buyers get into homes faster, even when their agent isn’t available.
- Improve the Client Experience: Today’s buyers expect convenience. Automated showings help deliver a smoother experience from the first showing to closing day.
- Scale Your Business: Whether you’re supporting 10 agents or 1,000, automation makes it easier to manage growing showing volume.
- Focus on Relationships: Spend less time handling logistics and more time building relationships with your clients.
How Showami’s API Automation Works
Showami’s API connects to your CRM or existing system to help automate the showing request process.
Instead of manually creating requests, your system can automatically submit showing requests, track activity, and receive updates throughout the process.
For example, when a buyer clicks “Schedule a Showing” inside your system, the request can automatically be submitted to Showami without requiring an agent to manually create it.
From there, Showami manages the request while keeping agents informed every step of the way.
Many current API users also connect Showami with platforms like Slack, Zendesk, and other internal communication tools. This allows showing updates, notifications, and conversations to flow directly into the systems your team already uses. Instead of switching between multiple platforms to stay informed, agents, admins, and support teams can manage everything from one centralized workspace while keeping showing requests moving.
The result is a more efficient real estate showing service that helps buyers gain faster access to homes while reducing administrative work for agents and brokerages.
Key Showing API Endpoints
Showami’s API includes several endpoints designed to help brokerages automate and manage showing activity.
Create Showing Requests
One of the most valuable API endpoints is Create Showing(s), which allows brokerages to automatically submit one or multiple showing requests without manually logging into Showami.
View Showing Requests
The Showing Requests endpoint allows users to retrieve a list of all showings where they are the Initiating Agent.
For teams that want visibility into showing activity, the Showing Request by ID endpoint provides extra details about a specific request, helping brokerages track progress and stay informed.
Access Accepted Showings
Showing Agents can use the Accepted Showings endpoint to retrieve all showings they have accepted.
The Accepted Showing by ID endpoint provides detailed information about a specific showing, making it easier to manage schedules and prepare for upcoming showings.
Search by Buyer
The Showings by Buyer External ID endpoint allows brokerages to view showing activity tied to a specific buyer record.
This can be especially useful for teams that want to keep client information organized and track showing history across multiple systems.
Cancel Showings
Plans change, and sometimes showings need to be canceled.
The Cancel Showing and Initiating Agent Cancel endpoints allow authorized users to quickly cancel requests when necessary, helping keep schedules accurate and up to date.
Manage Counter-Proposals
Scheduling conflicts happen, especially in a busy real estate market.
Showami’s Counter Proposal endpoints make it easy for agents to adjust showing times, price points, and coordinate schedule changes by allowing users to:
- View counter-proposals
- Accept counter-proposals
- Reject counter-proposals
This helps keep requests moving forward while reducing unnecessary back-and-forth.
Access Showing Feedback
The Showing Feedback endpoint provides feedback submitted after a showing has been completed.
This allows agents to stay informed and continue guiding their clients, even when another agent conducted the showing on their behalf.
Report and Resolve Issues
If a problem occurs during a showing, users can:
- Report Showing Issue
- Resolve Showing Issue
These endpoints provide a process for documenting and resolving issues while helping maintain accountability throughout the transaction.
Manage Rescheduling Requests
When schedules change, the Reschedule Showing endpoint allows users to submit a new proposed showing time.
The Reschedule Accept/Decline endpoint allows authorized users to approve or reject schedule changes, helping everyone stay on the same page.
Predict Showing Acceptance
The Showing Acceptance Prediction endpoint helps predict the likelihood that a request will be accepted based on the request details.
This allows brokerages and enterprise users to make adjustments that can improve acceptance rates and help buyers gain access to homes more quickly.
Best Practices for Automated Showings
Automated showings help buyers gain faster access to homes, but the agent-client relationship remains at the center of every transaction.
Before implementing an automated showing process, take time to explain how it works. Let buyers know that you will continue to represent their best interests throughout the home-buying journey, even if another trusted agent assists with a showing.
Once a showing is complete, follow up with your clients promptly. Reviewing feedback, answering questions, and discussing next steps helps strengthen relationships and keeps the buying process moving forward.
As your brokerage grows, creating internal guidelines for showing requests can help your team stay organized, manage costs, and deliver a consistent client experience.
Save Even More Time with Showing Templates
For brokerages submitting frequent showing requests, Showami’s Elite Brokerage 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 agents can submit requests faster without entering the same information every time.
Whether your brokerage is covering showings in the same neighborhoods or uses similar instructions across multiple listings, templates help keep requests consistent while reducing repetitive work. It’s one more way Showami helps brokerages streamline operations and keep showing requests moving.

Many brokerages and property management companies use Showami to streamline more than just home showings.
In addition to automated showings, Showami offers solutions for open house coverage, property tasks, condition reports, property photography, lockbox runs, and more.
