CRM - put forward and backward arrows for conversations 2 replies

CRM - put forward and backward arrows so that you can easily navigate from one conversation to the next. This is standard on all mail systems.

 

It would also be nice to have a link directly to the suggestion forum. It is a bit hard to find, or is that by design. ;)

After discussing with Sifely, they currently have no plans to integrate directly with our system as our users can already access their locks through Jervis Systems. To learn more about using Jervis Systems, please refer to our support document available here.

Hello!

I have encountered a handful of bookings that are shorter stays (2-3 days), therefore it does not make sense to send them all of my scheduled 6 messages. In some instances, it makes more sense to combine the "check-in text", sent 2 days after their check-in and the "departure reminder text" sent 1 day before their checkout. Would it be possible to create triggers / templates that are based on duration of stay?

Great suggestion, and one we've discussed a lot and have plans to improve upon. 

In the future, we plan to build the inbox as a threaded inbox instead of a guest inbox. This may not exactly match one-to-one with your suggestion here, but it will be similar and will allow us to clearly link the related booking, quote, or inquiry to each thread. It will also keep old conversations from mixing with new ones. 

There's a lot of enhancements planned for the new inbox! You can show your interest in that by voting for that feature too.

Hi all,

I'm late to the party here, but recently learned of Google Vacation Rentals... my question is, is it best to apply to become part of GVR now, or do we wait until OR has finished the integration and then connect via OwnerRez?  I apologize if I'm way off or if this has been answered already.  

Ability to have a separate (from share owner) GA tag/analytics for property shares 4 replies

Those of us who started property shares notice that the traffic generated via shared sites/shared properties reflects on the GA of the property share owners. That is skewing the statistics of the share owner's personal site. All traffic for share participants is visible/attributed to the share owner's GA tag. 

Any way to be able to add a separate GA tag to a share or override attributing the share's traffic to the owner's website? 

Thanks

Something confusing I have noticed is how when you have a repeat guest across multiple properties in your portfolio, OwnerRez just lumps all the conversations into one giant thread without any sort of label to delineate what reservation the conversation was related to.

For example:

I have a customer we'll call David. In the past year he has booked 3 different properties in my account's combined portfolio. Each of these properties were tied to a different AirBNB api tied to our OR account (we have 3 AirBNB APIs connected). So when you look at the Conversation for client David, you see this one giant blob of conversation all run together. But this conversation is actually spread across 3 different bookings. What makes it look even more weird is that the conversation reflects the name on the account that the respective API is connected to. So in one part of the conversation the label is "Justus says", a few lines later "Ozark Stays says" and then the most recent one is "Eileen says".

Is there some kind of way a repeat guest conversation can have a line or something to show which actual reservations that portion of the conversation was related to?

Does it technically work right now as is? Yes.

Is it confusing to look at and may cause confusion for hosts? Also yes.

gettting this integration with schlage will cement OR as one of the best as I'm hating the Remotelock pricing and sub par options with others! Please bring this to a reality!

Vinh, I couldn't help but drop a screenshot here for you:

Look carefully. 🧐

This is a screenshot from a dev environment, but I thought you and others might be interested in seeing progress!  It's through dev and into dev review and QA now.  No ETA yet, but it's a real thing.

Same Day Bookings with Time Cut Off 44 replies

Vrbo historically has not allowed same-day bookings at all.

by Ken T – Jul 16, 2023 1:41 AM (UTC)

Indeed. It's understandable as same-day bookings have higher risk (higher rates of fraud, higher risk of parties, higher risk of owner not realizing a booking came in and not having the property ready or sending access info, etc.), but interestingly, Vrbo does not have a way to get around this even internally--if a guest calls Vrbo with a problem and Vrbo needs to relocate them same-day, even a senior Vrbo customer service agent cannot rebook them at another listing same-day. The only option is to relocate the guest to a hotel (Vrbo does have access to Expedia hotel inventory, which they use when relocating guests).

(Not really on-topic for this thread, but it's an interesting observation.)

It is, it's live with zeevou, and they are working on integrations with other PMS software.  So I would think now would be a good time to approach them.

Guest Guru is no longer active in its current form. It's rumored to have been purchased by another PMS and is being reworked to be compliant with Airbnb's latest update. Rumor mill has it making its debut back to the market later this year.

I really love the suggestions, Tim.  Right on the button for a much easier and simpler to use inbox. Presumably this will also integrate emails coming back from the guests right into the box, so that we don't have to copy and paste into Owner Rez from our own email inbox?
