Fixed door code ability for Manual Locks
Currently only options for manual door lock for a property are:
- Use the guest's phone number
- Generate a random number
- Don't generate, I will assign codes one by one
Would like the option to just set a fixed code for all booking that come in at a specific property. For example: set a permanent property door code of 1234 which is applied to all bookings that come in and populate the appropriate door code field on email templates.
You can accomplish this by using a Custom Field!
Step 1: Create a Property-Type Custom Field
- Navigate to Settings > Custom Field Definitions
- Click Create Field Definition
- Configure the field:
- Type: Select
Property(this makes the field specific to each property) - Name: Something like "Door Code" or "Entry Code"
- Merge Code: Create a short code like
DOORCODE(OwnerRez will prefix it automatically, making it{PXDOORCODE}) - Format: Select
Plain Text(since you just need the code number)
- Type: Select
- Click Save
Custom Fields > Custom Field Definitions > Types of Field Codes
Step 2: Set the Door Code Value for Your Property
- Go to Settings > Custom Field Definitions
- Click on your newly created "Door Code" custom field
- You'll see a list of all your properties - click Change on the property in question and enter
1234(or whatever code you want) for the specific property - Save your changes
Custom Fields > Property-Type Custom Field View
Step 3: Add the Field Code to Your Email Templates
In any email template where you want the door code to appear, simply insert the field code {PXDOORCODE} (or whatever merge code you created). This will automatically populate with the correct door code for that property.
For example, in your pre-arrival email:
Your door code is: {PXDOORCODE}
