Breezeway Integration and Workflow for Property Management Efficiency

Before beginning, ensure you have:

  • Access to VRTrust with admin permissions

  • A Breezeway account

  • Your Breezeway Client ID and Client Secret Key
    → Contact your Breezeway representative if you do not have these credentials.

1. Connect Breezeway to VRTrust - 0:03

  1. Go to Connections in VRTrust.

  2. Select Add Connection.

  3. Click Breezeway → Connect.

  4. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret Key.

  5. Save the connection.

If a connection already exists: proceed to enabling the workflow.

2. Enable and Configure the Breezeway Workflow - 0:30

  1. Click into the Breezeway connection.

  2. Navigate to Workflows & Settings.

  3. Enable the workflow.

  4. Select the Default Vendor.

Recommended: Set the vendor to your property management company, since imported Breezeway charges are reimbursable billable expenses to the owner.

3. Map Task Types to Expense Accounts - 0:47

  1. Scroll to Task Type Configuration.

  2. Map each Breezeway task type to a corresponding expense account in VRTrust.

Task Type

Example Mapping

Housekeeping

Housekeeping Expense

Maintenance

Maintenance Expense

Inspection

Leave blank (no expenses imported for inspection tasks)


Configure Markups & Tax Rates (Optional) - 1:07

  1. Navigate to the Markup Settings tab.

  2. Assign default markup percentages by department.

  3. Apply tax rates if required based on your jurisdiction.

Note: Markups apply to labor and material costs only — not supplies.


4. Run the Workflow - 1:16

  1. Choose a date range:

    • Single day

    • Multiple days

    • Full month

  2. Run the workflow.

VRTrust will import all completed tasks from Breezeway where the expense is marked billable to owner.


5. Verify Imported Expenses in VRTrust - 2:04

Once imported, review the expenses:

  • Filter by Source: Breezeway

  • Verify:

    • Listing is tagged correctly

    • Expense account mapping is accurate

    • Description pulled from Breezeway task

    • Expense is marked as Billable to Owner

    • Total amount is correct

These expenses are posted as non-trust account items, meaning they represent reimbursable owner expenses and will appear on the monthly owner statement.


Understanding How Breezeway Data Imports

From Breezeway tasks:

Breezeway Item

Notes

6. Updating or Reprocessing Expenses - 2:38

If configurations change or tasks are updated after initial import:

  1. Locate the existing expense(s) in VRTrust.

  2. Delete the affected line(s).

  3. Re-run the workflow for the same date range.

Updated data will be pulled in automatically.


Completion & Expected Outcome

Once complete, all billable Breezeway expenses flow into VRTrust and are:

  • Categorized correctly

  • Assigned to properties

  • Available for reconciliation

  • Included on the owner’s monthly financial statements

This automation helps ensure accuracy while reducing manual entry.
