Higher Logic

---

The integration between the GrowthZone AMS and your Higher Logic Community site drives object creation in the community from the vast amount of up to date member data that you already track in the GrowthZone AMS. The integration ensures that your members interact with the most up to date member data, boosting member participation, collaboration and retention. Through your GrowthZone software you can sync your lists/committees to Higher Logic.

After the integration is in place, it is not necessary to complete any additional work to ensure that the data reflected on your community site remains synchronized with the GrowthZone AMS. GrowthZone uses Higher Logic's Push API Integration methodology. This type of integration allows GrowthZone to send updates directly to Higher Logic.

NOTE: The integration allows active individual members of lists/committees set to sync with a third party newsletter solution to use their InfoHub credentials to sign in to your Higher Logic communities. Data synced to Higher Logic is used for sharing the login information and cannot be edited in Higher Logic and synced back to GrowthZone.

Higher Logic Authentication

---

To authenticate with Higher Logic an API Gateway Key and Tenant Code are needed for the Push API method. The API Gateway Key is generated by Higher Logic and the Tenant Code is specific to the client’s Higher Logic’s instance. The Tenant Code is generated by Higher Logic, and is entered into GrowthZone in the Higher Logic integration settings. Click Here for Higher Logic documentation on integration. Please contact support@higherlogic.com and ask for an API key that can be used to integrate your GrowthZone account. If you are just starting with Higher Logic, mention this integration to your Higher Logic Account Manager and he will give you this key.

Higher Logic Synchronization

---

When synchronized to Higher Logic, GrowthZone will push (near real-time) changes to records such as the following:

• Contact Information
• Organizations
• Membership Types
• Lists/committees to which the contact is assigned

NOTE: Individuals are pushed to Higher Logic, not organizations. When setting up lists/committees for synchronization to Higher Logic, ensure that individual contacts are added to the list/committee not a business/organization.

Only the records of Active members associated to groups for which the Synchronize Contacts with authorized third party newsletter solution is enabled will be pushed to Higher Logic. Click Here for information on configuring groups to synchronize to a third party.

Higher Logic refers to lists/committees as Communities. If a new list/committee is pushed to Higher Logic, Higher Logic will automatically create the community, however it will be hidden. These communities will require further configuration in Higher Logic for the correct use, but they will not need to be created. A Higher Logic user with administrative rights would need to access the communities area, configure the community appropriately and un-hide it. Click Here for Higher Logic documentation on managing communities.

Set Up Higher Logic Integration

---

1. Select Setup in the Navigation Panel.
2. Select Higher Logic in the Integrations section. This will open the Higher Logic Integration dialog box.

   

3. Click Enabled.
4. Enter the Tenant Code provided by Higher Logic.
5. Enter the Tenant API Key from Higher Logic
6. Click Save.
7. Once the integration settings have been saved, click the Sync button. This will synchronize all of the lists/committees for which you have enabled Synchronize Contacts with authorized third party newsletter solution to Higher Logic. If you plan on using Single Sign-on, it is important that you do this initial synchronization prior to enabling single sign-on. This ensures that Higher Logic has a record of the users who are attempting to access Higher Logic from the Info Hub.

After initial synchronization, the system will look for additions, changes, and deletions from list/committees that are set to synchronize with Higher Logic and push these changes to Higher Logic within 30 minutes. As access to Higher Logic is intended to be a member benefit, only Active members in the lists/committees will be pushed over to Higher Logic. The List/Committee Setting Do Not Contact has no impact on synchronization for Higher Logic. Higher Logic is used as a community forum, not for email purposes.

Higher Logic Single Sign-on

---

GrowthZone AMS’s API provides a seamless Web experience across the GrowthZone AMS and other third-party systems. It allows users to login to your Info Hub (Members Only Area) and gain secure access to all related Web sites, including your Higher Logic Community using the same login credentials they would use with the GrowthZone AMS Info Hub. Single Sign-On (SSO) is accomplished by using GrowthZone’s implementation of OAuth 2.0, an industry-standard protocol for authorization.

Only Active members, assigned to lists/committees that are synchronized to Higher Logic will be able to access Higher Logic. If a member is dropped, or removed from a list/committee they will no longer be able to access Higher Logic. Your active staff members will also have access via single sign-on to Higher Logic.

Setting Up Single Sign-on

---

NOTE: You must complete the Higher Logic Integration setup prior to setting up Single Sign On. Your members will not be able to sign in if the integration has not been setup.

1. Select Setup in the Navigation Panel.
2. Select Higher Logic in the Integrations section. This will open the Higher Logic Integration dialog box.
3. Click the Show Single Sign-On link in the Info Hub check-box.

   

4. Link to HigherLogic Community Site: This is automatically populated and should be the URL for your Higher Logic site. Best practice is to verify that this link is correct.
5. Optional Custom Term for Community Link: You can customize the Info Hub link, by default the link is named Community.
6. Optional Custom Icon for Community Link: (Optional) You may enter a a Font Awesome icon to be displayed on the navigation panel for this item in the Info Hub. Visit the Font Awesome website. The icons you choose must be for supported FREE icons version 5.0.12 or less.
7. Click Save.

The first time a member clicks the Community (or the terminology you have configured) link in the Info Hub, an authorization page will be displayed. The member must click the Grant button to access Higher Logic. The next time the member accesses Higher Logic, the member will automatically be logged in.

NOTE: Within Higher Logic there is an Edit Profile option. When this option is selected, the member is re-directed to the GrowthZone Info Hub to update information. This ensures that GrowthZone, the system of record, is accurately updated.

NRDS - Activate a Primary Office

---

Activating a new office with NRDS is performed on the Real Estate tab. Offices are not members of NAR, but need to exist in the NRDS database.

NOTE: If NRDS finds an office record already exists with the same Office ID it will process the Add as a Change without the necessity of sending the record again. There is one exception to this rule: if the Office Name in the Add is different than the Office Name in the existing record then NRDS will reject the record and require that the record be sent as a Change rather than an Add.

1. If the office does not already exist in your database, add the office as described in Add a New Organization Contact. Ensure to populate all required fields, as described in the table above in the table above.
2. After adding the office, click the Real Estate tab.

   

3. Tick Enable sync. Once this record is saved, all data will be sent to NRDS.
4. Complete the following fields, and asterisk denotes a required field. If the field is not populated the sync of this record to NRDS will fail.
   • NRDS Status*: Select the appropriate status for this office. For a new office, to be activated in NRDS, select Active.
   • NRDS ID*: Enter the NRDS ID for this office. If your system has been configured to auto-generate NRDS ID's click the Get NRDS Number button. NOTE: If Tie Account Number To NRDS Number the account number for this office will be automatically updated with the NRDS ID.
   • Office DR NRDS ID*: Enter the NRDS ID of the The Designated REALTOR for this office. This must be a valid 9-digit member ID. See notes below.
   • NRDS Join Date*: The date this office joined NRDS.
   • Secondary Record: Enable this check-box if your association is NOT the primary for this office.
   • Local Join Date: The date this office joined your association.
   • MLS Association Id: The MLS ID for this office.
   • Occupation Name:
   • Non-Member Salespersons*: NM is Non-member licensees who work in this Realtor office but choose not to join the association. Because of this, the DR will be assessed national dues (and also most often state and local dues as well) times the number of non-member licensees in his/her office. It is important that the POE keep this field up to date, especially at the dues deadline. Because it is a required field, if this office does not have any NM Salespersons, you must at least enter a zero in this field.
   • Primary State: The 4-digit State association ID where this office has primary membership.
   • Office Manager NRDS ID: This field is to track the contact person at this office location when it is not the same as the DR. When adding an Office, if this location's Office Contact Manager is the same as the Member entered for Office Contact DR, this field may be null. If Null, upon the Add, this field shall default to the same Member ID as was entered in Office Contact DR.
   • Additional Office Information :
     • Office Type: This field can be used to track office type such as Residential, Commercial, Affiliate, etc.
     • Office Formal Name: This field can be used to enter the full name of the Office, up to 60 characters. Because the Office Business Name is limited to 30 characters due to mailing restrictions, use this field to fully describe the office name for your own use.
5. Click Save.

NOTE: NRDS requires that the Office DR NRDS ID be sent when you are adding a new office. This requires that the DR exist in your database as an Agent. However, when adding agents to your database, the agent's Office NRDS is required. NRDS recommends the following process for handling this situation: Enter the NRDS ID of one of your staff members when initially adding the office. After the office has been added, you will then be able to add the DR as an agent associated to the office and update the Office DR NRDS ID for the office.

NRDS - Update a Primary Office Record

---

Changes to an office record are sent to NRDS. A change transaction will be sent anytime an update is made to the data listed in the table below. With Enable Sync to NRDS checked, on the Real Estate tab, the changes will automatically be pushed to NRDS. Data is sent every 10 minutes, and all fields are sent, not just those that have changed.

NOTE: If NRDS finds that an office record does not already exist by checking the Office ID it will process the Change as an Add without the necessity of sending another record.

NRDS - De-activate/Suspend/Terminate a Primary Office

ECommerce

ECommerce supports the processing of membership dues splits automatically. When a member pays their dues, GrowthZone will sync with ECommerce to divide the amount according to predefined settings and passes the correct share to each of the local, state, and national associations.

The setup of the ECommerce payment processing account in the GrowthZone software is done by support or an onboarding project manager. The following pieces of information will be needed for setup:

• Association ID
• User ID
• Password

Important Notes

• GrowthZone only supports splits at the time of payment. For example: You are unable to use ECommerce to process monthly membership payments and then send a lump sum annually to state and national.
• ECommerce will support up to 6 destination bank accounts, if just one account is being used, the splits will not need to be configured.
• There are many specific rules & regulations for ECommerce. Please contact NAR with questions.
• GrowthZone supports creating refunds for memberships that include splits. However, the refund will autodebit ALL of the refunded amount from the local association. This is because NAR does not support autodebitting other associations; it will be up to the local association to contact the others (e.g. State and Nat’l) to recoup those funds. Questions/Concerns should be directed to NAR.
• For questions about rates and fees, please contact NAR. GrowthZone does not charge additional transaction fees on top of NAR’s fees.

MLS Integration

---

GrowthZone offers a data integration with various MLS Solutions. This is a push-type integration which sends changes to contact information from GrowthZone to MRED’s MLS vendor, DynaConnections. The sync happens (when there are contact info changes) around 4 times hourly between the hours of 8 am (CST) and 8pm (CST), seven days a week. The purpose of the integration to an MLS is to establish an account for the member, to establish the member's access level within the MLS (defined by the agent's Member Type, and to track the member's status.

Currently, GrowthZone integrates to MRED and Corelogic.

MRED Integration

---

On initial installation of your software, GrowthZone will configure the initial connection to Corelogic. You will then be able to manage your agent's participation in MLS from the agent's Real Estate tab. GrowthZone will sync to MRED any additions or changes made to the MLS information on this tab.

The table below describes the fields and requirements for synchronizing agents to MRED. An asterisk (*) denotes it being a required field; if a required field is not entered/missing in GrowthZone, the sync will fail and information will not be sent to MRED for that contact. Specific formatting is required for some of the fields as described.

Important Notes

• The status field for a contact (office or agent) includes options for Active, Inactive, Terminated and Suspended. From MRED’s point of view, there is no functional difference between Inactive, Terminated and Suspended; the member is denied access. So, you can use these options as appropriate.
• New MLS IDs must use MRED’s rules for creation. Please contact MRED if you need assistance.
• Additional status or informational fields may exist in the "More Info" tab, these custom fields are not related to the sync and will not have any effect on the information shared with MLS.
• MRED only accepts a single phone and a single email address. GrowthZone will synch the email/phone that are indicated as the default.
• If creating new agents AND a new office, the office must be created first and then the agents assigned to the office.
• Please contact GrowthZone if you have Commercial MLS members.

Lockbox with SentriLock

GrowthZone offers a data integration with SentriLock’s lockbox solution. GrowthZone is exploring supporting additional lockbox solutions and more information will be available in the near future. The sync with SentriLock is a push-type integration which sends changes from GrowthZone to SentriLock. The sync happens in real time with updates appearing SentriLock in a matter of minutes. On the Real Estate tab of a contact, there is a "Sync with Lockbox" checkbox that needs to be ticked in order for the system to recognize the sync option. Unticking the box will not remove the contact's data from SentriLock but will stop the updates from being sent. When enabled, GrowthZone will send updates to SentriLock whenever contact information is updated or entered new. There is logic in place in GrowthZone to automatically update a contact's status with SentriLock based on the status of their membership; memberships that are dropped or suspended (for non-payment) will automatically trigger an update to the SentriLock status accordingly.

Below are the fields that are synced with SentriLock. An asterisk (*) denotes it being a required field; if a required field is not entered/missing in GrowthZone, the sync will fail and information will not be sent to SentriLock for that contact.

Important Notes

• SentriLock only accepts a single phone and a single email address. GrowthZone will send the email/phone marked as default.
• Additional status or informational fields may exist in the "More Info" tab, these custom fields are not related to the sync and will not have any effect on the information shared with SentriLock.
• The Password field should be used only when creating a new user. This is meant to make it easier to create a new SentriLock account by entering a temporary “starter” password for the new member. The new agent should be advised to login to SentriLock and change this to a personal password. After the password is saved, it will be encrypted for security purposes. The result will be the field filled with random strings of characters, it may be ignored as the password has then been encrypted.

GrowthZone APIs
