BDX XML Feed

The Edgewise BDX integration enables automated and up-to-date XML feeds using inventory in Edgewise.

Shared Data

Edgewise maps inventory data into the BDX XML schema and will handle the differences in formats. The table below shows some of the high-level fields that map between Edgewise and BDX.

Hot Homes

Units can be highlighted as "Hot Homes" to market promotions or highlight specific units within a project. A total of two units per community can be marked as a "Hot Home".

To set a unit as a "Hot Home" in the BDX feed:

Create a custom field with the canonical name: bdx_hot_home.
Make the bdx_hot_home custom field available on units.
Assign the bdx_hot_home custom field to a unit and enter a short headline as the field value (e.g., "Last golf course unit").

Note: Adding the bdx_hot_home custom field to more than two units per project will raise an error when uploading the generated BDX feed.
