Brivo - Entrata Integration - Initial Setup in Your Entrata PMS

Larry Wile Updated by Larry Wile

Overview

The Brivo - Entrata integration allows property managers and administrators to easily connect the two platforms, while ensuring their residents are provided with  secure access credentials for building and unit entry points.

With the Brivo - Entrata integration, after resident data is added to Entrata, Brivo pulls in base building and unit access information  based on the timelines identified and captured from Entrata.

Once the Entrata data is present in the Brivo platform, property managers and administrators can grant access privileges based on lease information such as move-in and move-out dates (and times predetermined when setting up the account. Default times are 10am start time and 4pm end time). Brivo simultaneously recognizes these start and end times and creates a “window”  where the resident will be granted access. If no end date exists, as in the case of a new tenant with an indefinite lease, the access is considered perpetual until canceled. 

When a move out date has lapsed in Entrata, the access will be removed in Brivo and the resident will no longer have access to the unit. 

In the Brivo - Entrata integration , Entrata serves as the single source of truth. A record in Brivo will only be removed if it is removed in Entrata, and Brivo will only reflect any edits that are made in Entrata. This ensures that there is only a single source record to edit and maintain.
