The easiest and most efficient way to set up your Touchbase profile is to download the Touchbase mobile app. Otherwise, log into Touchbase and manually set up your profile under the Profile tab. Add the phone number (SMS) or email on which you wish to receive your messages.
By default, all Touchbase reports are saved in our database for two years. It's always a good idea to set up automatic reports and send them to yourself, in case you need to refer to them later on. This subscription feature can also be used to send daily, weekly, or monthly reports to your clients or team members. To find out how to subscribe to reports, click here.
Your phone numbers can be modified with each outgoing message, but the default number is the one that is registered with your real estate board.
Absolutely! If you are a real estate agent, you can find the replacement options under Settings in your Touchbase mobile app.

Touchbase can be used to send out important messages quickly, such as Amber Alerts. Certain real estate boards use Touchbase to aid police, using REALTORS® as extra eyes and ears in the community. This program is called Realty Watch.
Realty Watch is a community crime prevention program operating across the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada, from Whistler to Hope and every community in between. Over 14,000 REALTORS® assist police as extra "eyes" in their communities.
REALTORS® are able to observe and report to police any suspicious activity they may happen upon in their day-to-day business.
In emergency situations, REALTORS® respond to a police/RCMP-activated fan-out via Touchbase to search for missing or abducted children, or vulnerable adults. Within minutes of receiving a fan-out request from police, Realty Watch sends a message to REALTORS’® phones, pagers, emails, and Touchbase apps, asking them to keep a lookout for the missing person.
Since each member has a Touchbase profile, they are immediately reached on the device that they are most likely to check regularly. Learn more about Touchbase profiles here.
