Feature Requests
Welcome Rex Users!
Let us know what you really want out of the system you use in your businesses every day!
Please include as much detail as possible about what the feature is and how the feature would make your life easier – this will encourage other rex users to vote for your request rather than creating a duplicate idea. The more votes you get the quicker your idea will come to our attention :)
How it works:
- You can add as many new ideas here as you like but each new idea that you add will cost you one of your votes.
- You have ten votes to use. You can distribute these however you like with a maximum of 3 on any single item. You can remove a vote if you change your mind and put it elsewhere.
- If you have voted on an item that is then implemented, you will get those votes back to use again.
Remember – no request is too small :)
Happy voting!

Create a Reminder when entering a note
Have a tick box within adding a note section so that if you add a note when talking to someone, you can tick the box to create a reminder to call that person back if need be. Instead of double handling by creating a note then creating a reminder.
77 votesWe have added a tick box that will allow you to also create a reminder at the point of creating a note, hopefully saving you from doing double data entry. See the attached picture.

Sales Agency Agreement expiry dates
Would love the system to generate an actual expiry date rather than having to manually calculate 90 days each time and for that date to be on reports rather than DTE.
71 votesHappy to announce that this is now available.
When entering authority details you now have the option of entering a start date and duration or expiry date – if you enter an expiry date the duration will be automatically calculated and vice versa.

Ability to send custom automatic replies to email enquiries/leads from REA, Domain etc
We would like to be able to set up custom automatic replies for each listing to be sent to email enquiries/leads from online portals. During busier periods we find it hard to keep up with all the property enquiries and this would ensure everyone gets a helpful response from us instantly and then from there we can also call later on certain people who have provided a number and we would like to speak to as well as people who have asked a more specific question that wasn't answered in the automatic reply. The automatic reply is more for the…
70 votesWe released the leads autoresponder in 2022 which allows you to automatically respond to all enquiries from within the CRM. This is supported by customisable templates which let you include as much about the listing as you like.

Better OFI Feedback Capabilities
It would be a great idea if we could have ‘parent’ OFI inspections where you have an ‘OFI' which was conducted on a certain day at a certain time and then you could add OFI attendees with separate feedback under the parent OFI.
This would keep the OFI together as one however it would allow you to have the other contact records feedback separate from one another.68 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.

Legal name field in on a contact record
When you enter a contact i think having a spot for a legal name section would be beneficial we have a lot of contacts who's legal name is complete different to the name they want to be addressed by
62 votesWe’re happy to announce this suggestion has been brought to life by our developers and is now live in the system.
That’s right, you can now include a middle name, a legal name, a salutation and the addressee to a contact record. Rex will use the right one when sending emails, newsletters, filling out contracts, etc.
These new fields can be accessed per usual from the contact’s name settings, and when editing existing contacts.

Printable leads list
The leads list (list of incoming leads) screen should be able to be exported for printing. Phone numbers and names of contacts should be included, as well as which property they enquired on, as well as the agent it was assigned to. Urgent please.
58 votesThis is possible with the advent of custom reporting. You can view a list of leads with a combined view of the listing/property enquired on, as well as seeing the contact details of who submitted the lead. This list is exportable as a CSV or Excel file so it can be manipulated and printed as you desire.

Feedback to Vendors post OFI's:
Hi REX,
It is difficult to add feedback to the vendor reports when making post OFI callbacks.
When we make calls to buyers who have been through our Open Inspections they give valuable feedback that the vendors should be able to view....
When we make calls to buyers who appear in the property feedback section we can add a note to the 'buyers profile' however this note doesn't appear as feedback when we generate a vendor report...
Suggestion: Add a feedback box similar to the note box that appears in the speech bubble when you click on a buyer who…
58 votesThank you to everyone how has voted and commented on this suggestion!
As mentioned previously in the comments below the initial suggestion is actually available and has been for a few months – when you click on a contact, the popout includes a feedback option (letting you add feedback for a contact without leaving whatever screen you’re on).
You can also add feedback by clicking the main plus button (next to the search bar at the top of the screen) and selecting feedback.
We’ve had another suggestion submitted to us, which we think might interest you and solve the issues you have mentioned below.
Because the initial suggestion has been solved we are going to complete this suggestion, however please feel free to vote and comment on this new suggestion via the link below if you think this might help you further.

Bulk SMS via Pocket to ALL attendees for ALL previously held OFI's
Ability to send a bulk SMS through Rex Pocket to all of my recorded contacts that have attended every open home/private for a given property (I.e. all attendees that are recorded under a given property as inspecting). This is currently only possible through the Rex web application but not through your mobile/tablet application.
58 votesGood news everyone – this is now available! As part of our recently released Open Homes overhaul, there’s a new menu item, “See All Attendees for Listing”, that lets you conduct followup to all attendees for all events on that listing.

Recurring Reminders
Would be great if you could setup a recurring reminder, either when setting up new Tracks or just adding a reminder to a contact/listing. Eg a reminder to give a potential seller a call on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis for a specified number of times, or to end on a certain date. Essentially the same functionality as iCal on Mac.
At the moment I believe you have to manually enter every reminder individually.

Being able to sort contacts by surname instead of the first name or initial.
Because it the logical way to sort contacts by name!

Please contact support if you’re unsure.

Sales Person Ledger
A Sales Persons Ledger - one were we can keep track of commissions payable to them at settlement and payments made to them. Similar to the VPA Ledger? Previously when I settled properties in E2 a sales persons commission would automatically be applied to their ledger then I could record when they had been paid for these and other expenses related to them could be applied

Filter Records by Certain Track or Lack of a Track
I think its important to be able to find all contact without an up and coming reminder or track associated to them. This way you can make sure people don't slip through the cracks
41 votesYou can now search for contacts, properties and listings that have no active tracks or that have specific tracks applied.
You can use our new AI filters with a prompt like "No track applied", "Doesn't have track" or "Has {track name} applied".
You'll also find the filter in the advanced filters section of each module.
- For "no track applied" - search "Active Tracks - Track" "is empty"
- For specific track applied - search "Active Tracks - Track" "is any of" The track name

QR codes for open homes and collecting buyer details.
It would be a great idea to integrate with QR codes for our listings, so we can have a code printed largely on entrance, the buyers can scan and enter their details and it feeds into the open home feedback for that listing.

Add a secondary person to assign a reminder to.
Add a secondary person to assign a reminder to. This was for PA's they can get the reminder to follow through on the task but the sales agent can get a reminder also to keep in touch with what's happening with their clients.

Highlight contact records owned by you when searching
Highlight/Identify contact records owned by you when completing a contact search.
This is more for admins who can see multiple/duplicate contact records which have different owners (i.e. in closed office).
I often struggle to identify which contact records are my own vs someone else's.
I don't necessarily want to hide other peoples contacts from search, as I do use these from time to time (i.e in relation to a contract), i just want to easily identify which contact records belong to me when searching

Attachments on email merges to appear at top of email
At the moment, attachments on email merges appear at the very bottom of the email and are not easy to see (we've had numerous clients respond asking where the attachment is). This needs to be made more obvious or should appear under the subject line as per regular emails.
36 votesThanks for voting everyone. We're pleased to announce that there is now a setting that lets you choose to send all email attachments as real files, rather than email links.
You can learn more about this new setting - as well as the pros and cons of real attachments vs link attachments - in our announcement post.
