Rooof + Fortress OS
Automated Craigslist posting and renewal for apartment ads, built from your own property data.
Updated · 3 min read
What is the Rooof + Fortress OS integration?
Rooof makes PostEngine, which automates apartment ad posting on Craigslist. It formats a listing from your property data in one click, schedules posts ahead of time, and renews ads so they climb back to the top of the page without anybody logging in to do it.
Key takeaways
One click formats a listing from your property data.
Scheduled posting and automatic renewal keep ads near the top of the page.
Rooof has run Craigslist posting for multifamily since 2012.
How does Rooof work with Fortress OS?
Fortress OS sits underneath your stack as the operating layer. When something changes in Rooof, Fortress picks it up and pushes it to the other systems that care. No double entry. No end-of-month reconciling. No spreadsheets stitching things together.
What data flows between the two?
The exact fields depend on the marketing/ils use case. The goal is simple: both systems show the same truth. Records, statuses, and key events stay in sync. Your team is not the human glue between them.
Who handles the setup?
Our integrations team handles documentation exchange, API keys, and end-to-end testing. Most Rooof connections go live in a few weeks. You can request a setup any time.
Why should you connect Rooof to Fortress OS?
Craigslist still produces leases in plenty of markets, and it punishes anybody who posts once and walks away, because ads sink down the page within hours. Automating the renewal keeps the ad visible without giving a leasing agent a daily chore they will skip on a busy week.
What changes once you connect Rooof?
Same marketing/ils tool. Different day-to-day for your team.
| Daily task | Without the integration | With Fortress OS + Rooof |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping records in sync | Copy-paste between tabs, hope you got the numbers right. | Records match across both systems on their own. |
| End-of-month reconciling | Spreadsheet exports, manual cleanup, late nights. | Numbers already line up. Close the month, go home. |
| Onboarding new properties | Manual setup in Rooof and every other system. | Fortress provisions the connection so new sites pick it up. |
| Answering “what’s the truth?” | Open three tabs, compare, guess which one is current. | One source of truth, kept fresh by Fortress. |
