Data moves in and out of PropelMapper as files. Places import from CSV, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or a zipped shapefile up to 20 MB. Contacts import and export as CSV. Metrics exports readings as CSV or Excel, and reports export as PDF or DOCX.
Settings, Integrations connects Gmail and Outlook. Mail is read, never sent, and matched to the contact every five minutes. A personal calendar link puts your PropelMapper visits and tasks in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
With mail connected, each email to and from a client contact is filed onto that contact’s places, so the conversation sits with the farm it was about. The calendar link is private to each person and can be replaced at any time.
Automations are available on request. If your rollout depends on one, ask us through the contact page.
Those connections each do one named job: mail, calendar or files. There is no general integration framework behind them, and we don’t publish a date for an API.
Moving data with files
In the web app, boundaries come in through Places, readings go out through Metrics, and contacts move both ways through Contacts. Reports and farm reports download as documents from the report itself. Each export runs from the web app whenever you need it, with no request to us.
Boundaries drawn in another mapping tool come in as a shapefile, KML, KMZ or GeoJSON, so nobody draws the fields twice. Contacts kept in a spreadsheet or another CRM come in as CSV.
Before a handoff, check the columns, units and date format the receiving system expects. CSV is a shared format, and two systems still name their fields differently, so a look at the headers first saves a failed import.
Telling us what you need
Tell us what needs to move, in which direction, how often and who handles errors. Say whether you need original files, readings or only the signed reports. A specific request gets a specific answer.
Once a handoff works, write it down: which export to run, where the file goes and how the receiving system checks it. The next person on the team can then repeat it without guessing.
