# Features That Only Work With AgentFire IDX

The website features that need AgentFire IDX, and how to switch your site over to it.

AgentFire IDX is our own home search, built into your website. Many websites use Showcase IDX instead, and it's still supported. Because AgentFire IDX is part of the same system as your website, these features work only on websites that use it:

If one of these articles mentions AgentFire IDX and the feature isn't showing on your site, this is usually why.

## How to switch to AgentFire IDX

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Check your MLS

Email <support@agentfire.com> with your MLS name and any search filters you rely on. We'll confirm AgentFire IDX is available for your MLS before anything changes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Get a quote

We'll tell you what switching costs for your account before we start. Nothing is charged until you approve it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete the MLS paperwork

Your MLS may need you to sign an agreement for the new feed. We'll send you what's needed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### We update your site

Our team switches the search and updates the pages that show listings, such as area pages. We'll let you know when it's done.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Saved searches and listing alerts** your leads set up before the switch may not carry over automatically. Ask us what will move for your account before you switch.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>How do I know which IDX my site uses?</summary>

Email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll check your site's settings. An email from an IDX company or a line on your bill doesn't always mean that's what your site is using.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will switching fix missing listings or filters?</summary>

Not always. Send us an example listing or the filter you're missing, and we'll check what AgentFire IDX shows for your MLS before you decide.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I create listing alerts from my CRM?</summary>

Create listing alerts in AgentFire. Connecting a CRM sends leads there, but alerts are set up in your AgentFire Lead Manager (or in the AgentFire widget, if you use Follow Up Boss).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I add a listing to Listings Hub without AgentFire IDX?</summary>

Yes. Use **Create Custom Listing** and enter the details yourself. Only the import from the MLS needs AgentFire IDX.
