Listing Collaborators
Invite agents and agencies from other agencies to co-list or refer a home, answer invitations, and claim an external listing your agency holds.
Overview
A collaborator is another agency, or one of its agents, working a home with the agency that lists it.
| Role | What it means |
|---|---|
co_lister | Markets the home beside the listing agency. Shown on the home's network detail, listed under the co-lister's own listings as co-listed, may host an open house on it, and may be messaged about it. |
referrer | Brought the home to the listing agency. Visible to the two agencies only. |
lister | Your agency's verified claim to an external home (a listing read from a source with your agency's own credentials). Only then can you invite co-listers to it. |
Who does what:
- On a home listed on the Fondaro network, your agency's admin or the home's listing agent
invites. Invitations go to another agency (by id or page address) or to one
of its agents (by profile handle), as
co_listerorreferrer, and only on a home that is on the market. - The invited agent answers for themselves. A whole-agency invitation is answered by that agency's admin.
- Either side can end a pending or active collaboration.
- Blocks either way, suspended profiles, disabled agencies and people who left their agency cannot be invited, and all look the same: no one by that name.
Privacy stays as it is on the network: nothing here carries the owner's
private commission, and a home that is off the market is never shown to
another agency (an invitation then shows listing: null).
The /network routes use the dashboard's Clerk bearer token and your active
organization. They do not accept a property API key.

Invite
curl -X POST https://api.fondaro.com/network/collaborators \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"ref": { "source": "internal", "id": "a1b2c3d4-5e6f-7a8b-9c0d-1e2f3a4b5c6d" },
"role": "co_lister",
"handle": "tom-berg"
}'Name the agent with handle. When they work at several agencies, add
organizationId or networkSlug for the agency. To invite a whole agency,
send organizationId or networkSlug without handle. Returns the new
collaborator with status: "pending". The invited agent, or the invited
agency's admins, get a network.colisting_request push.
Answer or end
curl -X POST https://api.fondaro.com/network/collaborators/8d2f4c1a-6b3e-4f70-9a15-2e7c0b9d4f36/accept \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"decline and revoke work the same way. Each returns the collaborator with
its new status (active, declined, revoked).
Invitations to you
curl https://api.fondaro.com/network/collaborators/invitations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"Each invitation carries the collaborator fields above, invitedBy (the
inviting agency) and listing (the home as your agency can see it, the same
fields as an open house's listing, or null when it is off the market).
canRespond tells you whether you may answer it.
Claim an external home
curl -X POST https://api.fondaro.com/network/collaborators/claims \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "ref": { "source": "zoddak", "id": "12345" } }'The claim holds only when your agency's own access to that source returns the home as one of your agency's listings. Portals never can, a Fondaro network home already has its listing agency, and a source that cannot tell your own listings from its shared pool is refused. Claiming again returns the same claim. Ending a claim also ends the invitations you made under it.
Effects elsewhere
- Network detail.
GET /properties/:idfrom a dashboard session carriescoListers: one card per active co-lister (agency, and the agent when one person co-lists). Email, phone and WhatsApp appear only when that agent shares contact with the network. - Your own listings. A dashboard session's own-scope search
(
POST /properties/searchwithscope: "own") also returns the other agencies' homes you co-list, on the market only, markedrelation: "co_lister"and in the network shape. Commission filters and sorting never read them. - Messages.
POST /chat/dms/from-recordwith{ "ref": { "kind": "listing", "source": "internal", "id": "…" }, "agentUserId": "user_…" }messages one of the home's co-listers instead of its listing agent. The olderPOST /chat/dms/from-property/:id(same optionalagentUserId) still works for released mobile apps and will be removed. - Open houses. An active co-lister may host an open house on the home.
