Those are great, succinct suggestions!!  I agree with all the posted pain points. For me the most important and helpful are making the inbox front and center, and adding additional meta to the message preview (platform, stay dates, etc)

Yes, totally agree Seth!  We have just two properties but once I'm in the message typing to the guest I'd like to see the property, dates of the stay, platform message came from, etc.  That's exactly what I came here to suggest!  

This would be helpful for listing optimization since PriceLabs syncs only once per 24 hours.  PriceLabs has some nice rules around pricing for nights that are adjacent to a booking and for availability requirements around adjacent bookings - the "Smart check-in/out" rules.

For example, we might want to use the smart check-in/out rules to require all new bookings to have a "gap" of at least 3 nights.  That is, new bookings are required to be directly adjacent to an existing booking - or - to have a gap of at least 3 nights.  When PriceLabs only runs the sync every 24 hours, this allows lots of time for bookings to come in with, say, a 1-night gap, which is then nearly impossible to rent.

OwnerRez would need to notify PriceLabs whenever a new booking comes in, have PriceLabs run the save / refresh of their rule set, and then sync back to OwnerRez.

Hello,

Rather than having to manually set this up via the "Custom" dates option, it would be nice to have to more options in additional to those preselected dates.  The first would be to select "All Time" which would include all of the dates a user has been active on OwnerRez.  The second option would choose the trailing 12-months.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Thanks Caleb,  your offering is very powerful as it is now.  It seems like it is very close as the current trigger system supports multiple <conditions> which allow one to filter out specific subsets. 

Hi Ed,

Currently the triggering system is not advanced enough for compound triggers like you've detailed, I've moved your post to the feature requests thread so we can track community desire for it.

I'd recommend sharing the idea around and trying to get other upvotes for it at this time. 

Awesome!! Thank you!

It would be nice to be able to change guest check-in and check-out times from the <Overview> Section under Bookings.  This page shows the generic check-in and check-out time over the date but there is no option to change it.   Guests frequently ask if they can check in early or leave later.  

This request often comes from an email it would be nice to click <bookings>  click <overview> and be able to change times immediately.   

The templates and triggers OR offers are amazing and seems like a date change or a time change would initiate the same notification trigger.  

        * Guest would be sent an update to change in their allotted times (a bit more refined than current date change notifications).

        * Housekeeping could get a notification of change in times

        * Door code APIs could be sent changes and update codes based on the new time interval.

This would be a great benefit to all of us with programmable locks.

Ken et al,

I send guest materials in the days immediately before arrival.  A guest booking on the day of arrival will not get a templette that has a trigger 3 days before arrival. A guest booking 2 or months prior is likely to forget this data.  If i send a templette on arrival and 3 days prior both a guest booking 4 days out would get the same template 3 and 4 days before arrival.  Sending numerous materials on booking combined with sending the same material is not the professional image I want to present.

I'd like to build a conditional trigger 

                 If ArrivalDate > 3 days from BookingDate  then 

                        Send template 3 days before ArrivalDate

                 Else

                        Send Template NOW   

CURRENTLY THE TRIGGER IS SINGLE CONDITION  & LOOKS LIKE

Type <Scheduled>

Immediate   <Before> __3_   <Days Before>  <Booking has Arrived>  __9am__

Condition     blank

Action          blank

I use Pricelabs to control this. They have this option to allow orphan gap control differences within a cutoff period. The only downside with Pricelabs is that the moment a booking or cancellation changes the calendar, the gap-prevention conditions (which are enforced by restricting check-ins/outs) is not consistent with the calendar until the daily syncing is performed. I wish Pricelabs or OR would find a way to do a Pricing sync as soon as the calendar gets changed, rather than at a set time.

A forced turn day is a good idea. I was trying to figure this out before, but just came across your idea. Probably a maximum length restriction becoming incrementally shorter as the turn day approaches is the way to get this implemented and working with the OTAs. I don't see it requiring it anything else. Though having OR set it up so it it automates the length restrictions for numerous days, would make it easier to implement.

Hi,

For listings, we like to show our featured properties on the search and availability widget and when going to listings.

For the calendar widget, we would like to see the properties sort a to z.  

However, currently in Owner Rez, I have to choose random, featured, or a to z.  

Can you make it so we can apply a sort to a given widget.

Thanks,

Laura

With over 100 blog posts, our website visitors to https://naplesfloridarentals.com/ need a method to search through blog posts in addition to using the categories. 

I love how you responded to this snarky comment about cost.  As business owners, we should all have a little grace with other businesses that don't operate like charities.  

It would be great to be able to select more property icons such as:

Sauna, Fire pit, fenced yard, ping-pong, tennis/pickleball, air hockey, game room.

FYI this feature was released yesterday, Jun 19th, 2024. 
See the Change Log notes here

Setting it should be pretty straight forward, but this new setting is also covered in this support doc here:
https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/channel-management-calendar-import-export#export-exclusion

Enjoy!

Instead of listing each and every property under the 'Properties' tab on the Website, it would be nice to be able to customize groups and manually set each property into the group. This could allow us to separate and categorize the dropdown menu by Building name, Number of Beds, Location, etc. 

Thank you OwnerRez team.

The whole owners portal needs a revamp. List view would be helpful. as well as any additional features like reports, etc. 

You can always send the guest a triggered message prior to their stay or during that gives a code to discount the day prior or after the stay. 

Requesting a way to add a filter for "Discounts" on the calendar ribbon. 

Its not obvious when there is a discount applied unless you enter each reservation and go to charges. If there was a way to filter reservations that have entered a discount code, you can then find these quicker and investigate if the discount should be there. 

A couple examples of discounts that can be applied from the direct booking page. 

1. Military discount- We offer military discount. In order to make sure this is a valid request, we require ID to verify this is a valid request. 

2. Repeat guest discounts- We would verify this is indeed a repeat guest by their profile. 

Hello all! Here to announce the arrival of push notifications in today's release. Read how to enroll your device(s) in the Push Notifications support article. Enjoy!

None at this time, we're currently focusing on other large updates.

Please spread the word for this feature to get more votes if you'd like to see it prioritized. 

No changes since Shawn last replied, thanks for checking!

Add collapsible groups in the ribbon calendar and allow properties to be added to groups.  This could be used to create visual separation for properties by location, by number of bedrooms, etc.  Here is a mockup. 

Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Vrbo, and Booking.com icon options coming very soon!

It really would be a huge asset

Any updates? 

This Widget it great but it could be even greater if it also had a "pet" filter added to it. 

I just don't bother with the fees until the end of the month, when I do a journal entry for the total fees for that month.  Much easier.  You can even do it annually if the only reason you need the data is for taxes.

Any updates on upgrades to quickbooks integration? 

Any update on this? It would be a great feature - especially during hurricane season...
