Case Study: Funnel Leasing achieves 150% YoY ARR growth with Nylas Email and Calendar APIs

Funnel Increases ARR 150% Using Nylas Email and Calendar APIs

Funnel Leasing, a renter‑centric leasing platform serving property managers, owners, and landlords, needed a secure, reliable way to sync users’ email, calendar, and contact data into its Engage CRM so agents could communicate and schedule without constant context switching. Building native integrations with Gmail, Office 365, and Microsoft Exchange in‑house would have been slow and costly, so Funnel Leasing partnered with Nylas to provide connectivity for email, calendar, and contacts.

Using Nylas Email, Calendar, and Contacts APIs, Funnel Leasing launched native email and calendar functionality in three months with just two developers, enabling bi‑directional sync, automated contact updates, and in‑CRM scheduling. The Nylas integration improved email deliverability (~99%), streamlined agent workflows, saved an estimated $1.8M and thousands of development hours, and helped drive a 150% year‑over‑year increase in ARR while supporting rapid expansion.
