WALDO documentation

WALDO isn't a closed system. It's a data platform — every market analysis, employment decomposition, and supply forecast you run can flow directly into the tools your team already uses. These docs explain how.

You don't need to know how to code to use this. The CRE-professional sections (top of each page) tell you what each thing is, why it matters, and what to hand to your integrator. The technical sections below them tell your integrator (or Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor) exactly what to build. You can paste a link to either page into an AI chat and have the AI do the wiring.

API Keys

Generate keys, choose scopes, and let any tool — n8n, Zapier, Claude, your custom dashboard — read and write to WALDO on your behalf.

Start here if you want any external system to talk to WALDO.

Webhooks

Get notified the instant an analysis completes, fails, or has an export ready. WALDO POSTs a signed JSON message to a URL you control.

Start here if you want WALDO to push updates into Slack, your CRM, or an automation flow.

Scheduled Exports

Recurring PDF / Excel / PowerPoint exports of your analyses delivered to your inbox or webhook on whatever cadence you choose.

Start here if you want a Monday-morning report, a monthly client deck, or auto-archived snapshots.

AcquisitionPRO® / CRM

Auto-push analysis notes to specific AcquisitionPRO® or your CRM contacts when an analysis completes, OR pick contacts ad-hoc when you send an export from the Phase 6 dashboard.

Start here if you live in AcquisitionPRO® and want WALDO updates landing on your client contacts automatically or on demand.

MCP Server

Connect Claude Desktop, claude.ai, Cursor, or ChatGPT to WALDO via the Model Context Protocol. Same data as the API, but as typed tools the AI can call directly.

Start here if you want Claude or ChatGPT to query your WALDO analyses inside a chat.

What you can build

  • Slack channel that pings when an analysis you requested finishes — with the headline employment numbers in the message body.
  • Google Sheet that auto-updates with every new analysis: market, status, location quotient, completion date, link to the WALDO results.
  • Notion database where every closed deal automatically gets a page with the underlying market analysis embedded.
  • AcquisitionPRO® / CRM automation that adds a note to a contact's record the moment an analysis on their target market completes.
  • Custom dashboard for your team showing live status of in-flight analyses + the last 30 days of completions.
  • Claude / ChatGPT integration where you can ask "what's the location quotient for healthcare in Cuyahoga County in my latest WALDO analysis?" and the AI pulls it live.

Support

Every API response includes a request ID in the X-Request-ID header. When you reach out, including that ID lets us pull the exact audit-log entry for your call. Open a support ticket at acquisitionpro.io/support.
