Why PropertyMe’s new Automations release deserves a standing ovation 

Article by Scott Lamin 23 July 2025

Full disclosure: like all of us, I’ve experienced the trials and tribulations life brings us all… but nothing prepared me for the chaos that is manual task management in property management. Until now. 

Cue a literal power-up: PropertyMe has just dropped its latest update — Automations — and it’s about to level up how the entire industry operates. 

Let’s be honest, Property Managers juggle more moving parts than we like to admit. 

These include tasks like new tenancies, rent reviews, terminations, move outs and more — all while trying to keep clients happy and inboxes at zero.  

What would it look like if we cleared your Task list for you? With our latest feature, that’s exactly what we’ll do.  

Standard and Premium customers can now use custom Automations that trigger Tasks when key events occur — like adding a new property, entering a new tenancy, setting a termination date or scheduling an upcoming rent review. 

These triggers aren’t just reactive; they’re proactive. You can add actions that send tailored messages, set due dates and assign Tasks directly to the right team members or Property Managers.  

Yes, that means fewer dropped balls and way more peace of mind. 

But it doesn’t stop there. PropertyMe didn’t just drop a feature — we’ve redesigned the experience with a new Automations page in the main sidebar.  

Most notably, Arrears Automation has had a complete overhaul, letting you run multiple schedules at once.  

Holiday season tweak? No problem. Tuesday-tweaked follow-ups? Also doable. Flexibility is baked in. 

And here’s the best bit: Basic users now get a taste of the Automation magic with access to the upgraded Arrears process.  

We’ve also added direct Bills AI access from the Bills screen and a system that supports cloning Automations for lightning-fast setup.  

Every automation comes with a history tab showing three months’ worth of activity logs, meaning managers can stay informed without second-guessing what’s running behind the scenes. 

Notifications? Of course. Every time a Task is assigned, users get a heads-up — or not, if they toggle it off.  

And to top it all off, PropertyMe has included five ready-to-use system Automations and two system Task Templates, giving even brand-new users instant superpowers with zero prep. 

From streamlining the most repetitive Tasks to offering unlimited rule-building possibilities, this isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a blueprint for the future.  

Automated Task Checklists? Seamless. Customizable workflows? Effortless. Saved time and fewer headaches? Priceless. 

If you ask me, this launch isn’t just PropertyMe launching new features — it’s us listening to our clients and constantly evolving to meet their needs. In doing so, we are proving that property management can be smart, simple and dare I say… easy.
