Stages/Statuses

Updating the stage in Follow Up Boss will update the Status in Zillow. Updating the Status in Zillow will update the Stage in Follow Up Boss.  

Assignments

• When a lead is reassigned to a new agent in FUB or Zillow, the assignment will be updated in both systems. 
• If a lead is assigned to a Pond in Follow Up Boss, the lead will not be reassigned in Zillow (keeping the My Agent relationship the same).
• Once a lead is claimed from the Pond in Follow Up Boss, the assignment will be updated in Zillow.
• If a lead is assigned in Follow Up Boss to an agent that doesn’t exist in Zillow, Zillow will send an email notification to the Team Lead in Zillow and the assignment will not be changed in Zillow.
• If the lead is assigned in Zillow to an agent that doesn’t exist in Follow Up Boss, the assignment will not be changed in Follow Up Boss.

Lead Events

After the integration is established and you receive new leads, you will instantly see their browsing activity, like Viewed, Saved, Shared, and Hidden homes in the past 4 weeks for your Zillow connections, as soon as you are connected, directly in FUB. 

When there is a new inquiry on an existing Zillow lead, the inquiry will show on the Follow Up Boss timeline.

Notes/Call Logs

When a note is added in Follow Up Boss, a note will also be added to the contact in Zillow, which can fulfill an update requirement from Zillow. All notes synced to the Zillow will appear as the connected Team Lead 'via FUB.' 

When a note is added in Zillow, a note will also be added to the profile in Follow Up Boss. This note will appear in FUB as the agent who added the note. 

⚠️ Important: Notes added by a third-party source (ex., Zapier) will not be sent to Zillow for privacy purposes. Loan Officers cannot be tagged or mentioned in a FUB note. To do this, they need to be a user on the FUB team account. 

Deal/Transactions

To sync a deal with Zillow, the requirements below must be met. 

• Source of contact is Zillow or Zillow Preferred 
• The assigned agent must have a Premier Agent account and be included in the deal
• The deal must be created, then you must save and "exit" the deal
  
• The deal must have the following fields filled out
  • Price
  • Closing Date
  • Comission
  • Assigned Agent
  • Property Address (street number, street name, city, state, zip code) 

⚠️ To properly relocate portions of the address to the correct formatted line, you must use the comma on your keyboard. This will push the text down a line and omit the comma.

Then you will have the option to sync the deal to Zillow. 

Once synced, you will see the Zillow icon next to the deal, and you will see it listed under Transactions in the Zillow Premier Agent app.

⚠️ Warning: If a deal is deleted in Follow Up Boss, the corresponding transaction will be canceled in Zillow. If you do not want to cancel the transaction in Zillow, you can archive the deal in Follow Up Boss instead. 

Communication Signals

Using Zillow Messaging in FUB, communication signals will be sent to Zillow to fulfill update requirements. Zillow Messages also update FUB's last communication signal. 

Call notes from Follow Up Boss will be sent to Zillow as a note. Emails, initial text, and notes added by automations will be sent to Zillow and fulfill the communication requirements. Batch Emails also fulfill communication requirements.
