Agora Integration
Payments & AccountingWhat It Does
Agora (AgoraReal) is an all-in-one investor management and fund administration platform purpose-built for CRE general partners, syndicators, and fund managers. It consolidates the full LP lifecycle into a single system: fundraising CRM, online subscription documents, capital call issuance, ACH/wire payment collection, waterfall calculations, distribution processing, investor portal, and quarterly reporting.
Why Real Estate Professionals Use It
CRE fund managers face a structural IR problem: the economics of institutional-quality investor relations (quarterly statements, online capital calls, distribution waterfalls, K-1 delivery) were previously accessible only to firms with full-time CFOs and dedicated IR teams. Agora productizes this infrastructure for the mid-market GP — a syndicator running five deals or a family-office fund managing $50M in equity can operate with LP-facing professionalism that matches firms ten times their size.

Feature
LP Investor Portal
A branded, white-labeled portal where each LP sees their own commitment history, capital call notices, distribution receipts, and quarterly statements. Supports custom domains and your firm's logo and colors.
Real Estate Impact
LPs stop emailing your IR team for basic questions — 'How much have I invested?', 'When is the next distribution?', 'Where is my K-1?' — because the portal answers all of these 24/7. GP teams report a significant reduction in ad-hoc investor service requests after going live.

Automation Workflows
Ready-to-deploy workflows powered by Agora + NextAutomation
Workflow 1 of 4
Intermediate
Capital Call Issued → AI-Personalized LP Notice + Automated Reminders
When a GP issues a capital call in Agora for a new acquisition or draw, the system fires a webhook. n8n catches the event, fetches each LP's commitment amount and draw percentage from the Agora API, passes that data to an AI node to draft a personalized capital-call cover letter (with correct dollar amount, due date, and property context), and sends each LP a branded email via SendGrid. Three days before the due date, an automated reminder goes to LPs whose payment status is still 'pending' in Agora.
Trigger: Agora webhook: capital_call.created
Workflow Steps
1Agora fires capital_call.created webhook with deal ID, call amount, and due date
2n8n fetches LP roster and per-LP draw amounts from Agora REST API
3AI node (Claude via OpenRouter) drafts individualized cover letter per LP with correct amounts and property context
4SendGrid sends personalized capital-call email to each LP with wire instructions PDF attached
+4 more steps
Capital calls go from a full-day manual task to a 20-minute GP review-and-approve flow. LPs receive personalized, professional notices immediately after the call is issued. Reminder automation eliminates the awkward manual chase for wire confirmations.
Triggers & Actions
Connect Agora to your workflows with powerful triggers and actions
Triggers
Capital Call Created
Fires when a new capital call is issued in Agora for any deal. Payload includes deal ID, call amount, due date, and LP roster reference.
Trigger AI-personalized LP notices and automated payment reminders immediately when a capital call is issued.
Investor Status Changed
Fires when an LP's status in the fundraising CRM changes (e.g., prospect → soft-circled → subscription sent → committed → funded).
When an LP moves to 'subscription_sent', trigger a personalized welcome email and DocuSign follow-up sequence.
Distribution Posted
Fires when a distribution event is finalized in Agora and per-LP amounts are confirmed by the waterfall engine.
Send each LP a personalized distribution announcement with their exact amount, tax character, and an investor portal link — same day as the wire.
Capital Call Payment Received
Fires when Agora confirms an LP's wire or ACH payment has been received and reconciled against their outstanding call.
Send the LP an automated payment confirmation and update the deal's funded-equity tracker in your asset-management system.
New Investor Document Signed
Fires when an LP completes and signs their subscription agreement in Agora's e-sign flow.
When a subscription is complete, automatically update the LP's status in HubSpot, notify the GP team in Slack, and trigger KYC/AML verification.
Quarterly Statement Published
Fires when a quarterly statement batch is published to the investor portal for a given deal.
Send each LP a personalized email notification that their Q3 statement is available in the portal, with a direct link to their statement.
Actions
Create or Update Investor Record
Create a new investor record in Agora or update an existing LP's contact information, entity details, or investment parameters via the REST API.
When a new LP fills out an intake form on your website, automatically create their Agora investor record with accreditation status and target commitment amount.
Fetch LP Roster for a Deal
Retrieve the full list of LPs for a specific deal, including each LP's commitment amount, funded status, and portal access state.
Pull LP roster before a capital call to pre-populate the AI drafting node with accurate per-LP draw amounts.
Fetch Capital Call Details
Retrieve full capital call data — total amount, per-LP breakdown, due date, payment status — for use in downstream automation nodes.
Three days before a capital call due date, fetch payment status for all LPs and send automated reminders only to those with 'pending' status.
Fetch Distribution Details
Retrieve per-LP distribution amounts, tax-character split, and disbursement method for a completed distribution event.
After a distribution is posted, fetch per-LP amounts to personalize each LP's distribution announcement email with the correct dollar figure.
Update Investor Fundraising Status
Update an LP's fundraising CRM stage in Agora (prospect, soft-circled, subscription sent, committed) via the API.
When an LP emails the GP confirming a soft-circle, automatically update their Agora CRM stage and trigger the subscription document workflow.
Trigger Subscription Document Send
Programmatically initiate the Agora subscription document flow for a specific investor and deal.
When a GP marks an LP as 'ready to subscribe' in HubSpot, trigger the Agora subscription send via API without logging into the Agora dashboard.
Setup Guide
Get started in approximately 2-3 hours for API connection, first webhook workflow, and QuickBooks sync activation; additional 3-4 hours for full capital-call automation and fundraising CRM sync
Prerequisites
- Agora account (contact AgoraReal.com for onboarding — platform is enterprise-onboarded, not self-serve sign-up)
- Agora API credentials (API key or OAuth2 client issued by Agora during partner onboarding)
- n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) with HTTP Request node, or any HTTP-capable automation tool
- QuickBooks account if you want to activate the native accounting sync
- SendGrid or Gmail API credentials for LP email delivery
1
Obtain Agora API Credentials
Contact your Agora customer success manager to request API access. Agora issues API keys via the Settings → Integrations section of your admin dashboard. Copy your API key — you will use it as a Bearer token in all n8n HTTP Request node headers.
Store the API key in n8n's credential vault (HTTP Header Auth type) named 'Agora API — Production'. Never hard-code it in workflow nodes.
2
Configure Webhooks for Real-Time Events
In your Agora dashboard, navigate to Settings → Webhooks. Register your n8n Webhook node URL as the endpoint for the events you want to consume: capital_call.created, distribution.posted, investor.status_changed, document.signed. Agora will send a POST with a JSON payload to your n8n workflow endpoint whenever these events occur.
Use n8n's 'Webhook' trigger node (not 'HTTP Request') so each incoming event spawns a fresh workflow execution. Set the Response Mode to 'Immediately' so Agora gets a 200 ACK before your workflow runs.
3
Test the API Connection
In n8n, add an HTTP Request node with Method = GET, URL = https://api.agorareal.com/v1/investors (or your Agora-issued base URL), and Authentication = Header Auth using your stored credential. Execute the node — it should return your investor list. If you receive a 401, verify the API key is correctly formatted as 'Bearer {key}' in the Authorization header.
Run this connectivity test on your first day with the integration before building any complex workflows. A simple GET /investors call confirms credentials, permissions, and network routing are all correct.
4
Activate the QuickBooks Native Sync
In Agora Settings → Integrations → QuickBooks, connect your QuickBooks Online account via OAuth. Map Agora deal entities to your QuickBooks classes and accounts: capital contributions → Contributions Received account, distributions → Distributions Payable, management fees → Management Fee Revenue. Run a test sync with a historical transaction to confirm the mapping is correct before going live.
Map each Agora deal to a separate QuickBooks class so you get per-deal P&L visibility without manually splitting transactions. This is the accounting-hygiene setup that makes K-1 season significantly less painful.
5
Build Your First Capital Call Automation
In n8n, create a workflow with a Webhook trigger (capital_call.created), an HTTP Request node (GET /v1/capital-calls/{id}/investors to fetch LP roster), an AI node (Claude or OpenAI to draft personalized LP notice), and a SendGrid node (send email). Test by issuing a test capital call in Agora's sandbox environment and tracing the event through all nodes.
Build the LP-notice template in SendGrid's dynamic template editor with Handlebars variables ({{lpName}}, {{callAmount}}, {{dueDate}}) rather than constructing raw HTML in n8n. This keeps your email design in one place and makes brand updates easy.
6
Connect Agora Fundraising CRM to HubSpot
Set up a bidirectional sync using n8n: Agora investor status changes sync to HubSpot deal stages (soft-circled → HubSpot 'Soft-Circled'), and HubSpot LP engagement (email opens, deck-link clicks) is logged as activity notes on the Agora investor record. Use n8n's Schedule trigger to poll Agora for status changes every 15 minutes if webhooks are not available for CRM events.
Use HubSpot's contact ID as the foreign key stored on the Agora investor record (in a custom field) so the two systems stay linked even when LP contact info changes.
