Still not fixed 2 years later?

It doesn't work yet - they announced it too soon. Give us some time, hopefully it'll be ready in the near future.
Yes, the integration with Safely is now active and available for use!

Great! Got it. Thank you. You may want to update your website. For damage insurance instructions it still shows a screen shot of a “damage protection” tab. "The claim process is online, linked from the Damage Protection tab of each covered booking." Sandy
Damage Protection and Travel Insurance used to be separate tabs on the booking, but have been combined to one Insurance tab with sections for DP and TI.
Go to the Insurance tab of the booking and look at the Damage Protection section inside it and you'll find the DP information and claim form there.
How is this going?
Great idea to have this and Party Squasher.
An address verification API is very important.
I went through my rental this year and 14 had bad addresses uploaded by guests.
Tremendous potential for fraud here.
ah, this will make life much easier - hopefully the integrations works
Anyone get an error when adding a property to Airbnb via OR
"Error connecting property - please move the pin closer to your address to continue"
It's an address that doesn't exist in google maps correctly (the road is not even present). I put the address in and the pin drop is a few KM's away on the mountain. That doesn't work for loading. I then do a manual pin drop where it really is, and that doesn't work either. Anyone have any suggestions?
OR still shows that each of my homes is covered by damage protection. And bills me for the policies. But the tab (a host clicks on to submit a claim) is suddenly gone from each individual booking page. Is this a glitch or a problem I need to solve? I don't need to submit a claim, but I just noticed this morning that I couldn't if I wanted to. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Airbnb now includes Pet and Cleaning fees. I see that my cleaning fee has transferred over, but not my pet fees..or so it seems. Airbnb shows pets stay free and tells me all fees are imported via OR. Apparently not all.
Unfortunately, at present there is not, because Vrbo doesn't yet support integration into their internal messaging system. We're working with them on making this possible, hopefully it'll be available next year.
This is most likely caused by attempting to make the connection before first configuring your property data in OwnerRez, or importing it using this tool:
https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/listing-content-import
Try doing that and see if it helps. Otherwise, you can write in to the Helpdesk for specific assistance.
I specifically moved to OwnerRez because I was told I could communicate using 1 platform, Now it seems that is not true. I get no messages or inquiries for VRBO and only messages with Airbnb. Is there a way to do this using different credentials?
Configured Owner Rez - Both Airbnb and VRBO show my listing as "unlisted". There is no option to change the status to listed. This happened right after I started configuring Owner Rez.
This is a very old thread, and a lot has changed since it was last updated... Most importantly, we've decided not to add any more cleaning tracking features to OwnerRez. This is because we now partner with several other systems that do an excellent job of this:
https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/housekeeping-service-connections-overview
So it doesn't make sense for us to duplicate their work.
Agreed. We are still waiting for the ability to simply see the cleaning date. No need to block. Simply a color shade would work...that has no ramifications. We just need a "Marker" of some sort.
I'm seeing some Vrbo error messages I've not seen before. I'd recommend reaching out to their IPM tech support team to figure out what's going on and get your account unlocked. Then, write in to our Helpdesk so we can take a look from our end.
About 6 weeks ago I connected to VRBO via API. It all looked fine.
When I click on API settings I get the connected status. However when I click on it I see there is a sync pending. Next to that it says Synced: Never.
So I'm guessing something is wrong. I've tried the quick connect integration and it falls over half way through. I've also tried the channel bridge and that just gives me the message 'An error has occurred'.
I've tried to work through it so many times now that I've got a message saying my account is locked for my safety.
Any suggestions or help would be gratefully received.

I thought this was fixed before. But now I see calendar widget shows rates on blocked/booked dates. I do not believe it should. Like the dates blocked beyond X months show some default low rates. If I unclick show rates, it removed rates even from available dates.
Please! This is such a huge bug to fix! PMs need to be able to quickly show their annual revenue without re-enabling properties. It is both a waste of time and a stress to have to do so. This should be a simple fix. Please, please!
Are you referring to system alerts or system messages. ie. emails from OR to you; or, emails from you to the guest? Both should be displayed reasonably on mobile browsers; we've recently been working over that. Email alerts from OR in particular now use a mobile-friendly design.
If you have a specific example of a recent one that is bad, please send a screenshot in to the Helpdesk - perhaps we missed one. :-/
Update the quote and email format so that it’s a better fit for mobile devices. The emails come with different font sizes, the footing is really big and the logo is stretched out.
Thanks for the nudge. I'll add this to an upcoming meeting to discuss internally.
Hi Lacey,
The Book Now widget requires the contact field (name, email, etc) in order to send in an inquiry or do a Book Now because it creates a quote or inquiry record with that information. There is no way to get the widget to work if you hide those fields because the buttons will require that information.
SuperHog is a relatively new integration, but we have a discussion of its features and advantages here:
https://www.ownerrez.com/blog/integration-with-superhog
Perhaps other clients can discuss their experiences here in this Forum thread?
I see that SuperHog is an integration option. I have been using Rental Guardian's accidental damage product with my bookings for peace of mind, but I'm really intrigued with the SuperHog product which appears to provide the ADW service plus some Damage to a Hosts property caused by Guests, Damage to a Hosts belongings caused by Guests
Your Hosts legal responsibility for bodily injury to a Guest, and host protection with legal responsibility for damage to common areas caused by Guests. I haven't examined the details, but assume your team is aware with this integration. Any insights to share?
Hi Sunchic,
I see what you mean, and actually, we already do have something like that.
If you're on guest conversation page, your SMS and Airbnb templates will show in the dropdown to the right below the message box (labeled "Use Template"). If you are sending an email to a guest from the booking, the template dropdown is in the blue bar at the top. In either case, you can select any template you want from the dropdown, which will then fill in the message box.
So if you want to set up "canned" responses, just configure them as templates. You don't have to create a trigger for every template.
