My personal experience with OR has been great! This platform is the only Channel Mgr. that I have experience with. I did my due diligence when selecting a channel Mgr. and I am so far thoroughly satisfied with my decision! Thank You!

Was going to do this, but stopped when they kept drilling down more and more getting personal contact info.

Any possible way to add the "Checkmark" symbol to lock codes, similar to your "#" addition?  Thanks for all you do!

The # fix was to allow that character to be set in a manual lock code -- that particular one wasn't being able to be set because it was a conflict with the HTML hash/anchor symbol. You should already be able to enter a checkmark symbol in a manual lock code.

If you're not wanting it to be manual, but want to include a checkmark symbol in your email templates because that's what the "open" button on your lock shows, there's a better way to do it: write it into your email template. For example, something like:

{BDOORCODE}✔️

If you're on a desktop it's hard to enter emojis like that but you can do it by going to a site that lets you copy emojis and copy/pasting that into the template from the site.

I agree.  I have been using this function on Hospitable.  They post it 1 minute before the deadline.  There is a certain failure rate, but it's tolerable.

Hi Paul, thank you so much for the upgrade of the delay review!

PERSONALLY, I would prefer to send it maybe 3 minutes before the window is over. If it fails, it fails and then there's that. Let's just say for most of us, we'd prefer the risk of not getting our bad review in, over the risk of being retaliated back. We could poll, or even create a third category "last minute review" with a disclaimer that it may not successfully land, which I would still choose. Personally 20 minutes in my opinion is too much exposure.

Recently, our CEO, Paul Waldschmidt, sat down with Matt Landau to discuss Paul's 10-year long obsession with speed, performance, and building relationships the old-fashioned way.

In case you've been living under a rock, Matt Landau is a big deal in the vacation rental industry.  His Unlocked podcast is the biggest podcast in the industry, but that's only one of Matt's many roles, campaigns, and multimedia outlets.  Check out VRMB which is Matt's mothership for all of the community, marketing, multimedia, and resources that his team manages.

But hey, about that interview!  The conversation can be listened to, in full, by using the following Apple podcast player:

If that doesn't load for you, go directly to the Paul Waldschmidt episode on Apple or visit the Unlocked podcast page.

Unlocked is a podcast series that invites you to be a fly-on-the-wall as VRMB founder Matt Landau interviews some of the world’s most innovative vacation rental professionals. The goal of this podcast series is to share best practices and to remind vacation rental professionals that we have everything we need inside of us to succeed.

Another thing that needs to be mention here is VRMB's free weekly newsletter.  You may already get other industry newsletters, but this is one you've got to subscribe to and read!  The content is carefully curated, relevant and managed by Matt himself.  If you want to feel empowered, if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of the industry, subscribe to and read the VRMB newsletter!

Finally, thanks to PointCentral and Breezeway for sponsoring the Unlocked podcast.  Both PointCentral (which is an official OwnerRez partner) and Breezeway are great companies with excellent teams behind them.
