1. Feature Overview
Add your property details in LeadSquared (through Mavis DB) and sync data across various Dubai-based listing platforms, including Property Finder, Bayut, and Dubizzle. This simplifies managing and distributing your property advertisements, ensuring maximum exposure and up-to-date information across these platforms. The benefits of using this connector include –
- Centralized Listing Management – Input your listing details in one place, and sync it seamlessly across all the listing platforms you choose.
- Effortless XML Feed Generation – Generate XML sync feeds with a single click for your listing’s partners, streamlining the process and ensuring compatibility with various platforms.
- Customizable SmartView – Enhance the visualization of your listing data by creating multiple SmartViews. Tailor these views to your preferences for an efficient and organized experience.
- Collaboration Capabilities – Collaborate with others by inviting team members and partners. You can also restrict specific actions to maintain control over changes made to your listings.
- Quick Filtering – Utilize quick filters for easy searching of specific listing details, making it simple to find the information you need.
- Image Viewing Made Simple – Conveniently view property images attached to your listings.
Sales Users can view, add, and update property listing details through Smart Views. Changes made will sync and reflect on property listing platforms. Once the listings are live, you can capture potential customers as leads in your LeadSquared account, monitor their activities, and convert them to customers (which is purchasing/leasing/renting the property in this case) directly from your LeadSquared account.
2. Prerequisites

3. How it Works

- During the configuration, a Mavis Table (with pre-defined schemas) is automatically created. Check and verify the table schema. If required, you may also add property listings in this step.
- Integrate the generated XML feed with the property listing platforms. This initiates the sync process.
- Create a Smart View for your Sales Users and integrate it with the Mavis Table. This allows users to add their property listings to LeadSquared and sync them across property listing platforms.
This improves collaboration among your users and enables you to control the actions your collaborators can perform.

6. Manage Listing Details in Mavis Table

Note:
- Data from your Leadsquared account will sync with the listing partner every 15 minutes.
- Use Bayut’s Sync URL on Bahut and Dubizzle. Given that Bayut is the parent organization for both, the same URL will function for both platforms.
8. Create Smart Views
Now create a Smart View integrated with Mavis. This enables Sales Users to view and add their property listings.

- Column Name – Created By | Operator – Equals | Value – Logged in User
- Column Name – Listing Status | Operator – Equals | Value – Sync to Listing Platforms
- For more information on filter conditions, see filter conditions.
- Click Add to add more filter conditions. You can add up to 20 filter conditions by default. To increase this limit, reach out to your account manager or support@leadsquared.com.
