Setting and Excluding Amenities in your PostEngine Settings

Overview

This page will cover the Amenities section of your PostEngine settings page.

To access your PostEngine settings page

1. Open PostEngine for Desktop.
2. Click PostEngine Settings on the left-hand side.

If you're using the PostEngine Chrome extension:

1. Open Google Chrome.

Basic Amenities

The Basic Amenities section allows you to select the amenities that will be included in your Craigslist ads.

Use the drop down to select the appropriate amenity information for your property. 

This amenity information is displayed on Craigslist as highlighted below:

Note: 

• Parking, Laundry and Rent Period are mandatory fields on Craigslist!

Optional Amenities

The Optional Amenities section allows you to add unit and property amenities in addition to what PostEngine is already pulling from your property website.

Click the + button to expand each category and see the options available. Then, check off the amenity options that apply and that you would like included in your Craigslist ads.

You are also able to enter additional amenities manually in the box at the bottom of each section (press Enter after typing each amenity).

Notes: 

• Amenities that are on your property website are automatically included in your ads. Do not add amenities that are already on your website as this will result in duplicates listed.
• PostEngine will include a random selection of amenities in each ad (from both your website and settings page). 

Excluded Amenities

The Excluded Amenities section allows you to exclude amenities from your ads.

To exclude an amenity that is listed on your property website, type it into the box. Press enter between each amenity you wish to exclude. In order to successfully exclude an amenity, you must enter it exactly how it is listed on your website.

Troubleshooting

How do I save the new amenities I've added?

Changes are automatically saved!

I post for multiple properties. Am I able to save different amenities for each property?

Anything you save in your PostEngine Settings page will pull for ALL properties you post for. Unfortunately you can't save different options for different properties.

For Basic Amenities, you can leave them blank in your Settings page and check off the amenities in the Ad Preview each time you post. Alternatively, you can reach out to help@rooof.com and we can store the amenities in our internal system!

None of the Parking options in the Basic Amenities section are appropriate for my community. Can I leave this blank?

The Parking field is mandatory on Craigslist and these are the only options that they have offer. You will need to choose an option from the list that best describes the parking at your community. If you want, you can add a custom disclaimers in the Headers & Footers section which describes your Parking options in more detail.

Why aren't all of my amenities showing up each time I post?

PostEngine automatically pulls and lists a random selection of amenities in each ad! This helps create content variability and ensures that each ad you post is unique.
