Publish a listing to Property Finder, Bayut and Dubizzle

A listing in Lukkio is the one record Property Finder, Bayut and Dubizzle read from. Switch a portal on and the listing goes there. Switch it off and it comes down. There’s nothing to re-type.

Before you start

• Your agency’s portal accounts are connected to Lukkio.
• The listing has the details the portals ask for: price, size, bedrooms, photos and a description.

Publish a new listing

1. Open Listings and click Create Listing.
2. On Basic Info, fill in the property, tower, floor and unit, the price, built-up area, permit number and agent.
3. Set Listing Status to Active. Only Active listings go to the portals.
4. Click Save & Next.
5. On Listing Details, type the Listing Name and description, and add the photos under Photos & Files.
6. Click Save & Next.
7. On Publish Listing, check the Commission Rate and enter the Deposit.
8. Under Distribution Channels, switch on each portal you want the listing on.
9. Click Publish.

Screenshot from the demo app follows

Required fields are checked only when the status is Active; a Draft saves without them. Keep a listing in Draft while you’re working on it and set it to Active when it’s ready to go out.

Publish a listing you already have

1. Open the listing. Its Listing Status must be Active.
2. In Distribution Channels, switch on the portals you want. Only portals turned on for your agency appear here.

Lukkio sends each change to Property Finder when you save. Bayut and Dubizzle read one listing feed that Lukkio refreshes every hour. The photos, price and details come from the same record in Lukkio.

If a listing is missing a field a portal requires, Lukkio leaves it off that portal and logs it as a sync failure. Once Bayut or Dubizzle has the feed, Lukkio can’t see whether that portal later rejects a listing, so check it on the portal if it doesn’t appear.

One title for every portal

The Listing Name and description you write on Listing Details go to every portal you switch on. There’s no separate title per portal, so if the wording needs to change, change it on the listing and it changes everywhere.

Check what’s live

Open the listing. Distribution Channels shows a status under each portal. On the Listings page, the Channels column shows the portals each listing is on.

To see every listing on one portal, open Listings and use the Listing Portals filter.

Take a listing off a portal

Switch the portal off in Distribution Channels. The row reads Unpublished and the listing comes down from that portal. It stays in Lukkio and on every other portal it’s switched on for.
