I'd love to get ChatGPT installed ONLY if it responded to simple questions like "how many bedrooms" with "read the frickin' description.  The bedroom count is CFB at the top and there's a freaking floorplan too ya dolt!"

I've used them a few times now and they've fired without a hitch.  Thanks for making this happen OR!

I tried to set this up by using the excel export import however it does not provide enough fields. Likewise the duplicate a listing falls short.

the temporary access for a owner to the data form is the best way to provide this functionality.

separately, I find owners pretty lazy on this subject and my efforts to get them to fill in a spreadsheet were not successful. We just do a phone interview. Faster overall.

@Donaven - Here are the questions

There is ongoing work to add additional triggers that should address most if not all of your needs in the near future.

Hey Patricia... I am just in the early stages of this as well and was looking to build out the questionnaire as well... would you be willing to share the list you came up with that gets all the info you needed from the owners?

[This topic has been closed as a duplicate of another topic (Automatically follow up on a quote or inquiry)]

In case you missed it, we released Inquiry Triggers a few weeks ago. This feature adds support for automatically responding to Airbnb, Vrbo, and Email inquiries.

I fully agree,

I'm keeping my Hospitable account just for this feature and being able to see guest's pictures before they book.

I'm keeping my Hospitable account because of this, they allow to send automaticcally messages with diffrent triggers.
I hope ownerrez add this feature soon

It's multi click and when you have to respond to multiple messages or go back in to the inbox it's just not super convenient. Either have a back to inbox button, or put the InBox as it's own button, not a sub of CRM.

It would be great if we could process credit & debit cards through different processors, e.g. route debit cards through ProcessorA and credit cards through ProcessorB.  I can get a lower rate with credit through one processor, but I get a much lower rate on debit cards through another processor that charges directly based on interchange rates.  It's about 2% lower for debit card fees.  In my case it's large enough volume to make a significant difference.  For now I have to route both credit and debit through the same processor, but it would save me a lot of money to route them independently.  Thanks!

We have 48 properties and are ready to move forward with Marriott.  Would like to see this added back to the consideration field.   TIA.

I'm still waiting for a reply from the CEO of Glamping Hub as to when it will be open for beta testing before it gets officially released.

Excellent - thank you Joel!

Yep! I updated the status on this request to reflect that. 🙂

Did you get that patch in place for this, Joel?

I have a guest waiting to post their review anonymously.

Thanks!

Thanks Ken, you guys doing amazing job maintaining the platform and adding partners. My best choice I’ve made years ago

they said fall of 2024 at best

That seems about correct.  Our engineers are still working on the API extension to even make this possible.  Then, once that work is complete, any other integrator would naturally take some additional time to code to make use of it and offer the AI integration.

Me too! But they said fall of 2024 at best

I think OR could let hosts be the judge of whether they would like to use AI chats.

Bingo, you nailed it!  That's exactly the plan, and why we are adding communication endpoints to our open API.  That way, each client can individually decide which of the very many AI systems they would like to use, and how exactly - by using an integration developed by an API firm or other integrator, or even developing your own integration to your own specs if desired.

Is this now ready to go?

This would be great to let in house guests know of a weather warning.

I think OR could let hosts be the judge of whether they would like to use AI chats.  I for one would love to see besty integrate.  I am hopeful for this month, as that is what besty said at the conference last month.  

That kind of bulk marketing opens some other more complex issues, which at present are best left to specialist systems designed for that purpose like MailChimp or Constant Contact.  We may add that capability at some point in the future, but not the immediate term.

Needing this as well!!

Hey Paul!  It would be cool to bulk-send to past guests as well.  That way you can send specials, new amenities etc.  

Thank you for the quick response.

Hi Ed,

The System uses the "Position" Field for each individual surcharge found in their configurations to determine where to place surcharges. If you'd like the cleaning fee to be first and the management fee 2nd, then you'll want to ensure those fields have a value. This applies to Taxes as well.

Taking a quick glance through your account it looks like you have positions setup correctly for taxes, and the right side from your screenshot matches that order. However it appears for that property the cleaning fee specifically is missing a position value. Entering that value should correct this for future bookings.
