Auto-send mail from automations and continuous campaigns
When an automation enrolls a lead into a Direct Mail campaign — or someone joins a campaign with Continuous sending on — automatically send that campaign's mailer template. Off by default — each piece costs ~99¢ from your credits and can't be recalled once it's mailed.
$
/day — auto-mail pauses once reached (≈ cap ÷ 99¢ pieces), resuming the next day.
Postcards cost $0.99 each, deducted from your credit balance.

Bulk Migration
Moving from another CRM? Select all your CSV exports at once. We auto-detect buyers / sellers / deals / conversations by columns + filename, then import them in the right order — no need to navigate to each tab one at a time. Sellers can include property details (lot size, asking price, etc.) on the same row — we'll create the property and link it to the seller automatically. And combine sellers + conversations into one file — if a file has message columns we route it through the conversation importer and auto-create any sellers referenced inside.
Tip: name files
buyers.csv, sellers.csv, deals.csv, conversations.csv for the most reliable auto-detection.Your time zone
Meeting times are shown to you in this time zone — on the Team page, in notifications and in emails. Automatic follows the time zone this device is set to. Each teammate sets their own.
Meeting links
Save your Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams link once. Meetings you set up on the Team page or in Team Chat start with your default link, and you can paste a different one for any meeting. Each teammate saves their own.
Use your personal meeting room link — the one that stays the same. Meeting has a passcode? Paste the whole invite link — Zoom's Copy Invite Link and Teams join links include the passcode, so people join with one click (Google Meet doesn't use one). Connecting a Zoom, Google or Microsoft account so each meeting gets its own new link isn't available yet.

Email Mailboxes
Connect mailboxes via SMTP/IMAP. Outbound emails rotate across enabled mailboxes; replies are auto-detected from each. Use an app password, not your main account password.
🚀
Need more sending mailboxes?
Buy a sending domain right here (typically under $20/yr from your credits) — we publish all the email DNS for you, then a guided setup walks you through Google Workspace and connects each mailbox into your rotation.
Only want emails going out during business hours? Set a send window.
Link tracking domain
Campaigns with Track link clicks on send each link as a short tracking link that counts the click and opens the real page. They use
directrei.com/r/… unless you connect a subdomain of your own, like links.yourbusiness.com — links on your own domain look more trustworthy to readers and to spam filters.Loading…
SMS Accounts
Telnyx is recommended — it's the one where everything works inside Direct REI: one-click connect, buying numbers, texting registration (10DLC), in-browser and multi-line calling, and the AI Call Agent. The dropdown shows the numbers and setup steps for the provider you pick; System default texts from your own Messages app on this device instead.
Recommended. Connect your own Telnyx account to send & receive texts, buy numbers and register for US texting right inside Direct REI, and call from your browser. Usage bills to your own Telnyx account — Direct REI never marks it up.
⚖️ Your responsibility: SMS in the US requires prior express written consent from each recipient under TCPA. Scrub your list against the National DNC Registry, disclose your business name in every message, and only send between 8am–9pm local time. DirectREI honors STOP / UNSUBSCRIBE automatically — see the University TCPA guide for the full rundown.

Number health
How each of your numbers is actually performing — answer rate, text delivery, opt-outs, and daily volume against the ceilings carriers start flagging at. The Health column on the Phone tab only checks that your provider credentials work; this checks whether your numbers are still landing.
These are your own sending signals, not a carrier lookup — the three databases that hold the “Spam Likely” labels (Hiya, First Orion, TNS) aren’t publicly queryable. If a number here reads At risk, register it free with the three companies — Settings → Phone → Get your calls answered has every answer on the form filled in.
Blocked numbers
Stop spam callers and texters. Texts from blocked numbers are always ignored, and blocked calls never show up as missed calls, red flags, or ring pop-ups in Direct REI. When Direct REI answers your calls (Telnyx with voicemail on, or Twilio in-browser calling), blocked + anonymous callers are cut off before anything rings. Quo rings its own apps — block the number inside Quo too. You can also block a caller right from their contact card.
Only callers matching a contact get through — spammers rotating numbers are cut off, but so is a new lead calling from a number you don't have yet. Calls only; texts still arrive (unknown texters land in the Inbox ❓ Unknown lane).
API & Zapier
Connect Direct REI to Zapier, your own CRM, or any external tool: import leads, export your CRM, create and launch campaigns (text, email, cold call), put properties on your websites, and get webhooks for new leads, every message sent or received, call outcomes, link clicks and website forms. Works with Zapier's built-in Webhooks by Zapier — no extra app needed. Full reference: directrei.com/api-docs.
API keys

Webhooks (Zapier triggers)
We POST a JSON event to your URL the moment it happens — paste a Zapier Catch Hook URL here and pick the events. Each delivery is signed (

Quick start
Base URL:
Test your key:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer drei_..." /meZapier trigger (new lead → your Zap): in Zapier add Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook, copy its URL, then click + Add webhook above and pick your events.
Zapier action (your Zap → new lead here): Webhooks by Zapier → POST to
/contacts, set Payload Type to json (it defaults to form — the #1 gotcha), and add a header Authorization = Bearer drei_….Want imported leads to start a campaign automatically? Create an automation: When a new lead is added + only if source is api → Enroll in campaign (Tasks → Automations). Full examples at /api-docs.
Add webhook
We'll POST each selected event to this URL as JSON (one event per request — Zapier-friendly).
Campaign activity (each one names the contact and the campaign)
Text messaging registration (10DLC)
US carriers require every business to register a brand + campaign before texting (A2P 10DLC). This registers under your own Telnyx account — you own it and the compliance. Voice works without it. Approval typically takes a few business days.
Estimated total cost (registry fees, billed by Telnyx to your account): about $19 one-time (~$4 brand + ~$15 campaign vetting) plus a monthly campaign fee — typically ~$10/mo for the standard use cases below (sole-proprietor campaigns run closer to ~$2/mo). Carriers also add fractions of a cent per outbound text.

Calling integration
Choose how your 📞 Call buttons (Dialer + contact rows) place the call. Pick a provider here, install its desktop app, and our Call buttons route every dial through it.
Automatically writes a short AI summary on the call log and the contact's timeline for calls that have a transcript — transcribed voicemails, AI Call Agent calls, and Quo call transcripts. Counts toward your monthly included AI usage. Calls without a transcript (browser recordings, phone-app dials) aren't summarized.
Get your calls answered
Calling doesn't need an approval the way texting does — you can call as soon as you have a number, and calls from your own numbers are already marked as verified. What decides whether people pick up is the name they see and whether your number gets labeled “Spam Likely”. These two steps take care of both.
Send Window
Queued emails and texts go out automatically every ~15 minutes — but only during the window you set here. Default is 24/7 (every day, all hours). Tighten this to mimic real-human sending hours and reduce spam-flagging. By default the hours apply in each lead's local time, so 9 AM means 9 AM where the lead lives. A campaign can set its own hours under its settings.
Custom fields Paid feature
Define your own fields for Buyers, Sellers, Other contacts (vendors / professionals), Deals, and Properties. They show up on the matching add/edit modals so you can track exactly what you care about — no technical setup needed; new fields appear on the matching forms immediately.
