Bulldog for Buildium.
An AI leasing assistant that texts every new lead, qualifies the renter and books the tour, then writes the outcome back to Buildium so your team keeps working where it already does.
Built for Buildium. Set up with you.
The Bulldog connector for Buildium imports your rentals and units, and writes leads and notes back to Buildium. It is set up together with you on the onboarding call rather than switched on by a single click, because Buildium controls how API access is granted.
To be straightforward about it: AppFolio is the integration running on live customer accounts today, and the response-time figures on this site come from those accounts. Buildium accounts use the same AI, follow-up rules and guardrails. See the AppFolio integration.
Three steps to go live.
Enable API access
An admin generates an API key in Buildium (Settings → API Keys) and enters the Client ID and Secret during setup. Buildium's API requires an eligible plan.
Pick your properties
On the 15-minute setup call we choose which Buildium properties Bulldog covers and load your pricing, availability and tour times. Your team's logins and workflow don't change.
Leads worked, outcomes synced
New leads get a text, renters are qualified on move-in date, budget, unit type and pets, and tours are booked. The result is written back to Buildium.
The same rules on every system.
- Quiet hours. Leads that arrive between 9pm and 8am get their first text at 8am local, because unsolicited texts overnight break quiet-hours rules. Renter replies are answered at any hour.
- Respects property pause. Pause a property in Bulldog and every automated text for it stops, including scheduled follow-ups.
- Fair Housing rules in every reply. The AI only says what you've approved for that property. It never steers, never comments on protected classes, and escalates when unsure. How the guardrails work.
- One tap to take over. Every thread is in the Bulldog dashboard with the full history. Reply yourself and the AI steps back.
