Excellent news! I've just updated my trigger criteria to take advantage of these in our request for review and secondary 5 day follow up if not completed by then. Huge help in our workflow and our secondary follow up for non-reviews gives them that nudge to get it done. Thanks team!

When looking at inbox, it will be much easier to not miss a guest message if the guest message is another font color (for example: blue). That way we can distinguish if the message is coming from a guest or if it is an automated message. Similarly, it will help a lot, if the amount of unread messages in a single message line could be a different color (again blue font) if there is a guest message that is unread. That way we can use inbox much more effectively and will be less chances of missing a guest message from different channels.

Absolutely agree. It’s bad enough that we can’t communicate via an app with our guests like other hosting sites. Multiple emails on the same/similar topic looks sloppy and leads to guests overlooking or missing important information.

It would be nice to hide/disable the fields in descriptions page that are not relevant if the integration is disabled or not used.  It is a little "noisy" seeing all the options for channels you do not have.

Hi Jennifer H,

Which calendar are you referring to? Is it your Bookings page view in OR, and if so, what view are you using? Ribbon, month, year, etc.

If it's a guest facing calendar, please let us know what you're looking at in a screenshot or URL.

This is almost released. I saw it recently in testing, and it looks very close to being closed out. Just wanted to share some happy news with those of you waiting on it.

(And not just "review written", but a bunch of other similar conditions too!)

Combine all message sources into ONE thread In the guest communication tab.  Currently we have multiple message threads for the same guest in the inbox. One for Airbnb, another for any sms communication, I have 2 separate message threads for a VRBO guest from VRBO. Please put all messages with a guest into a single thread. Thank you.

Signed Rental Agreement Before Dates Are Blocked 1 reply

Most users handle this by adding a house rule that says the rental agreement (and security deposit setup) must be completed within 24 hours, or the booking may be canceled. This helps protect you and usually allows cancellations without host penalties on channels like Airbnb or Vrbo.

Keep in mind, the channels don’t allow links to be sent before a booking is confirmed. They do this to prevent guests and hosts from trying to book outside the platform and avoid fees.

I'm afraid this request would not be possible to execute with that in mind.

I would like to be able to have  guests sign our rental agreement before the dates are blocked on the calendar. Right now too many are not signing right away which results in repeated reminders being sent to the guest which is time consuming. The dates would have to be temporarily blocked while the booking is in progress so another booking can’t take place at the same time for same dates.

Would love a way to insert field codes into one off messages in a conversation. For example being able to insert a guidebook link easily instead of having a template that I might use twice otherwise. Or sending a quote via SMS instead of email might be a one off that would be nice to just use field codes.

I'm working on scheduling in routine times to respond to reviews. It would be super helpful to be able to filter by "Response not Written" so I can more quickly get to those for which I still need to respond!

OwnerRez Hubitat Enhancement Requests... 4 replies

We have been using the Hubitat Interface... works great for us... rarely if ever do we have an issue... having said that there are a number of things we would like to see enhanced to make it even better...

1.  Notification when batteries are getting low.   This data is available on the lock integration screen but it is a few clicks to get there...sending a system notification that the battery is low would keep us from those unfortunate instances when a guest shows up and the lock won't work and we have to let them in via a keybox. (We are currently limping along with this and a Twilio texting function but it is not easy to setup and of course requires a confirmed twilio account to make it work.)

2.  Logs...we would like to have OR capture the logs from the lock and have them available on the lock page... similar to perhaps what you do with the credit card authorization stuff...  in particular we are looking for every time the lock is unlocked or autolocked.   This is a security thing for us.   Needing to know who is going in and out and when.

3. Notification if the door lock is used when there is no booking.  IE someone has entered the property and there is no block or booking.  This would extend to not only code entries but also someone doing the manual unlock (we use Yale locks so that particular activity is recorded)  Had a situation where access was obtained without using the keypad and we would have loved to have seen that manual entry.

4. Notification of first time code use. (We had this with other lock code integrations.) We would like to capture this as a system notification but we would also like to have the system update a property custom field indicating that the property is now DIRTY and then on the Booking a custom field that the guest has checked in. (Other values for these fields would be CLEAN and CHECKED-OUT respectively.)  We could then use that information for additional messaging ie. first impression emails, and housekeeping and upsell opportunities like early check in and late check-out.

5.  Ability to create staff codes in OwnerRez.  Currently we use the Hubitat lock code manager to do this as a manual process and as we add or reduce or change properties for staff we would like to keep the codes in sync not relying on updating manually the 17+ hubs.   We also want to require them to change their access codes periodically but the logistics of this make it very difficult to manage.

6.  Owner Blocks - these seem to be time driven as bookings are and consequently we end up with situations where on the day of the block our contractors are not able to get in because checkin time is 11am or they are working into the evening and it removes their access...  I think this might be a bug... have talked about this one before... when we do a block we want it to be from 00:00 to 11:59

Thanks... we love the integration... have it on all 41 of our properties now...
