Connect Claude or ChatGPT to Roomline

Ask anything about your rentals. It draws charts, checks the bills, drafts listings, writes to tenants in their language and closes the month, from your records. Nothing reaches a tenant until you say yes.

What it can do

In Settings › AI assistants, under What they can do, the owner picks one for every assistant that signs in. Change it any time.

  • Everyday edits (the default): reads everything, including tenant messages, leases, bills and photos in Files. Adds and changes houses, rooms, tenants, repairs, bills and condition checks, and saves photos, PDFs and letters it writes to Files, private to you.
  • Also message tenants: writes to tenants and answers them on repairs, attaches files from Files, and can share a file with a tenant. It shows you each message word for word and asks first.
  • Everything: also rent records, agreements and move-ins, bank matches, costs, settings, invitations and deletes.
  • A tool that can’t sign in uses a personal token instead: Read only, or Read and write for everything.

Disconnect an assistant

In Settings › AI assistants, choose Disconnect beside it under Connected; it loses access at once. Revoke tokens under Personal tokens, and remove the connector in your assistant too.
