If you have the Velocity API connected and you're not seeing a specific client record in Ownwell, it could be due to a few common reasons. Ownwell APIs require certain fields and conditions to import a file successfully.
Steps to Resolve:
Check the Application Status: The application status must be "Funded and Awaiting Payment" or "Complete".
Verify the Closing Date: The closing date must be in the past. This is because we don't think it makes sense to send clients a report on their home until after they've moved in.
Verify the Maturity Date: Ownwell imports only active mortgages (i.e., mortgages that haven't matured). Check to make sure that the maturity date is in the future.
Review the Payment Schedule: Ownwell currently does not support interest-only mortgages, but we're working on supporting other mortgage types in the future.
Review the Payment Frequency: Ownwell currently does not support accelerated weekly or semi-monthly payment frequencies, but we're working on adding these.

Primary borrower first name
Primary borrower last name

Note: Clients imported into Velocity via CSV uploads or deals pushed to Expert may lack some of this required information.
Important: A client import via API is a snapshot in time.
Once a client record is in Ownwell, any edits should be made directly in Ownwell. If you make changes in Velocity AFTER the import, they will not sync to Ownwell.
