Document management

Endpoints to upload documents to EverReal and link them to different objects

Introduction

Important notes

• Documents represents files that are uploaded and have metadata that link them to different objects in EverReal. Documents can be linked to tenants, units, properties, property groups. If you want to upload files and link them to listings later, please read the Simple file upload section.

• Documents need to have a resourcePath that is a "virtual folder" in EverReal. Recommended resource paths

  • Tenant documents: tenants/$tenantId

  • Property documents: properties/$propertyId

  • Unit documents: units/$unitId

  • property group documents: properties/$propertyId - documents attached to a property group should also be attached to a property as well

Upload a document with metadata

Uploading a document is a multipart/form-data operation that can pass via multipart parameters several required or optional parameters.

Please note that the field metadata needs to be passed as string JSON and can contain the following data:

// The type of document
type?: DOCUMENT_TYPES;
// Link a document to a tenant by id
tenantId?: string;
// Link the document to a unit by id
unitId?: string;
// Link the document to a property by id
propertyId?: string;
// Link the document to a property group by id
propertyGroupId?: string;

enum DOCUMENT_TYPES {
  // default document type
  DOCUMENT = "DOCUMENT",
  // rental application of a tenant, passed during rental process
  RENTAL_APPLICATION = "RENTAL_APPLICATION",
  // contract with a tenant or buyer
  CONTRACT = "CONTRACT",
  // move-in protocol
  MOVE_IN = "MOVE_IN",
  // move-out protocol
  MOVE_OUT = "MOVE_OUT",
}
