A phone system that connects directly to Buildium
Click to call any resident, owner, or vendor from inside Buildium. Incoming calls open the matching record automatically. Every call logs back to Buildium without manual data entry.
What the Buildium integration does
Four capabilities that property managers actually use day to day. Honest scope on what works and what does not.
Click-to-call from Buildium
Phone numbers on resident, owner, and vendor profiles become clickable links. One click places the call from your desk phone, desktop app, or mobile app. No copy-paste, no manual dialing.
Resident screen pops
When a known resident calls in, Buildium opens to their profile automatically. Your team sees rent status, lease information, and recent maintenance requests before they pick up the call.
Calls log to Buildium records
Every business call writes back to the matching resident, owner, or vendor record. Date, time, duration, and direction are captured automatically. No manual call-log entry.
Field-team friendly
Maintenance coordinators and on-site managers using Pro Mobile get the same click-to-call and screen-pop experience on their cellular line as office staff get on desk phones.
How it works
Setup is straightforward and uses Buildium's official Open API. No agent software on every workstation. No middleware to maintain.
Generate your API credentials
Your Buildium administrator generates a Client ID and Client Secret in Buildium's developer settings. These authorize our phone system to read resident, owner, and vendor data.
Connect to our phone system
Enter the credentials into our admin panel. We test the connection and confirm field mapping — which Buildium fields drive screen pops, which appear during a live call.
Start making calls
Click any number in Buildium to place a call. Inbound calls from known numbers open the matching record. Every call writes back automatically.
No separate integration fee.
The Buildium integration is included with phone service. You pay for the phone service plan — $17 or $32 per user per month — and the integration is bundled in.

Common questions about the Buildium integration
Honest answers about scope, requirements, and what's actually included.
Does this integration work with Buildium's residential and association products?
Yes. The integration uses Buildium's Open API, which covers both Buildium Residential and Buildium Association Management. The phone system reads resident, owner, board member, and vendor records the same way across both.
Do I need to pay extra for Buildium API access?
Buildium provides API access as part of the platform — there is no separate API fee from Buildium for standard integration use. Our integration with Buildium is also included with our phone service at no extra charge.
What does the integration cost from our side?
Nothing on top of phone service. The Buildium integration is bundled with phone service plans ($17 or $32 per user per month). No separate integration fee, no per-user surcharge.
What if a resident calls from a number that's not in Buildium?
Unknown-number calls still log into our phone system but do not write to Buildium since there is no matching record. This is a common prompt for your team to add a new prospect or applicant to Buildium when the call seems relevant.
Can my maintenance team use this on their personal phones?
Yes, with Pro Mobile. Pro Mobile gives every field employee a real business cellular line tied to the company — click-to-call and screen pops work on the cellular line the same as on office desk phones.
How does the integration handle rate limits from Buildium's API?
Buildium's API allows 10 requests per second. Our integration is well within that limit during normal operation — we read records as calls happen, not in bulk syncs. Heavy operations like initial setup are paced appropriately.
How long does setup take?
Most Buildium customers are live within a few business days. Credential generation takes minutes, field mapping and testing takes the rest of the time. No IT consultant required on your side.
