Connect your onOffice feed to The NLS

Switch on Use FTP delivery in Inbound Feeds, enter the access data The NLS sends you as a free Kyero portal interface in onOffice, tick The NLS on each property's Marketing tab and transfer.

onOffice does not host a feed address. A transfer job generates the Kyero XML and uploads it by FTP or SFTP to the portal. For The NLS that means the setup runs the other way round: The NLS gives you the FTP access data, and onOffice delivers to it.

You switch on FTP delivery on The NLS first, create The NLS as a free portal interface in onOffice with that access data, and then tick The NLS on each property you want sent.

1. 1

   Switch on FTP delivery on The NLS

   On The NLS, go to My Listings and choose Inbound Feeds in the menu on the left. Switch on Use FTP delivery. The NLS then sends you the access data for onOffice: the FTP server, user, password and folder, plus a provider number.

   There is no address to paste for onOffice. The NLS reads each file onOffice uploads to that folder.

   Note Leave Manage inventory manually switched off. It pauses feed imports and is meant for agents who add every listing by hand.

2. 2

   Set up The NLS as a portal in onOffice

   In onOffice, open Extras, Settings, Basic settings, and the Portals tab. Click the plus icon, or Add Portal. Tick Free portals, pick a free interface, name it The NLS and set the transmission format to Kyero.

   Enter the access data The NLS sent you: provider number, FTP server, user and password. Tick Portal active and save. The FTP check turns green when the connection works.

3. 3

   Choose which properties go through

   The NLS now appears on each property's Marketing tab, under Portal presentation. Tick the box next to The NLS to include the property in the next update, or click Transfer to send it now. The trash icon removes it from The NLS.

   Automatic transmission is a paid add-on that onOffice support switches on. It sends your marked properties once or twice a day. Without it, run Actions, Property Actions, Full portal update whenever you want to send.

4. 4

   Import only some properties, if you want

   Further down the page, under Reference allowlist, click + Add reference and enter a property reference exactly as it appears in onOffice. Add one reference at a time. Only the references you list are imported.

   Leave the list empty to take the whole feed. Most agents do, and choose which properties travel inside their CRM instead.

5. 5

   Check the listings arrived

   The panel on the right of Inbound Feeds shows the import as it runs: how many properties and images have been processed, and when the last import finished. When it has run, open My Listings. Each imported property is there as a draft, and its photos follow within about two hours.

   After a transfer from onOffice, click Refresh Feeds to import the new file straight away. Otherwise The NLS reads the latest file it has received every 24 hours.

6. 6

   Finish each draft before it goes live

   Imported listings wait as drafts until three things are confirmed: the property's address, the listing agreement with the seller, and the agreement's expiry date. Open each draft in My Listings, confirm the three and publish it. Very large imports can take up to 24 hours to finish arriving.

   A listing that later disappears from your feed is withdrawn on The NLS automatically, and republished if it comes back. You do not need to remove it by hand.
