Automatic push and pull of appraisal data between CRM, accounting, and document management systems

Purpose

1.1. Enable seamless, real-time data flow of appraisal records between CRM, accounting, and document management tools to reduce manual entry, enhance accuracy, ensure compliance, support fast client service, and centralize data access for property appraisal operations.
1.2. Automatically synchronize contact info, appraisal statuses, documents, invoicing, and notes between systems, ensuring all platforms maintain up-to-date, identical records.
1.3. Enforce business logic for update conflict handling, field mapping, audit trails, and conditional information routing based on job status, property type, or assigned appraiser.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New appraisal record creation in CRM (e.g., Salesforce “Appraisal” object, Zoho CRM custom module).
2.2. Appraisal status update in document management (e.g., DocuSign “envelope complete,” SharePoint file uploaded).
2.3. Invoice generation or payment status change in accounting (e.g., QuickBooks “invoice paid”; Xero “awaiting payment”).
2.4. Periodic scheduled sync (e.g., nightly batch job for legacy systems).
2.5. Manual user trigger via platform button/webhook for urgent updates.
