I would appreciate this, too, please!
Often a third party — domestic partner, family member, friend or business rep — books for a guest. When that happens, the contact record for the booking ends up with each of their contact infos. Often, too, yet another third party needs to be communicated with, say if their credit card is being used to pay.
For clarification and communication purposes, there is a need to have the email addresses and phone numbers for one party or the other, typically the guest's, be the first on the list and otherwise arranged.
The only way that OR now allows this is for the particular contact info to be copied and deleted, the whole contact record saved, and then for the record to be opened again, "Add New" clicked on and the contact info pasted into that field and then saved. Depending on how many phone numbers, email addresses and physical addresses that need to be arranged, this needs to be done for each, which is an involved process.
Far easier would be to allow us to change the order of phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses right on the page.
Also to improve communications with guests, nick name, optional middle name, and company name fields are needed. If a guest's legal name is Katherine, but they want to be called Katie or something else, they will appreciate being called Katie or that something else in all communications, and it will make our triggered, templated or on-the-fly communications much more personal if that nick name is identified and substitutes the legal first name.
Middle and company names are needed for improved identification purposes.
Please add a Duplicate option to things like Templates, Triggers, Surcharges, Discounts, etc. At times we need to replicate something and only make small changes to it -- and we have to build it from the ground up because there's no option to Duplicate an existing one. A simple Duplicate option would be such an enormous help!
Tim's points are spot on.
I searched for this topic after visiting Twilio and see their solutions for Real Estate.
https://www.twilio.com/en-us/solutions/real-estate
I know that OR is already using Twilio for SMS. Why not leverage that relationship and offer the rest of the Twilio solutions.
I need
One phone number ringing through to the first available agent
One text message screen that all agents can see and act on
One Email thread that all agents can see and act on
And, as Tim suggests, one place to view all phone, text and email conversations with eventual integration of all of the other messaging apps that are available.
Having to search several places is a big time waster.
I am integrated with PriceLabs for dynamic pricing. My problem is when guests want to change shorten their stay. I don't know how much the guest booked for a particular night because we don't see the individual nightly rates under the "Charges" tab. I can't use PriceLabs or the rates listed in OR to view that nightly rate because the prices are dynamic. I only see what the total rent is. In OR, I have the setting "Rent: Detailed Booking" selected so I thought each night would be split out. What is a way I can view what rate the guest booked for each night?
Thank you for your reply. It is unfortunate. Lets hope something changes down the road.
Case in point ;-)

One of the biggest frustration with booking charges is not being able to see what the guest pays for each particular night, forcing me to have to go to the Rates calendar under settings to see those.
Moreover, to be able to see from top to bottom the totals and complete breakdowns of what my guests pay and what I pay in commission fees, I have to either figure them out on my own or go to the booking on the OTA's website. This should not be the case.
These can be fixed by fully showing the detailed and complete itemizations of charges, as well as complete breakdown of what the guest pays when booking through one of the OTAs.
Yes please!! There's really no way for a guest to upload a copy of their id and credit card?
On mobile (iOS in my instance), when I click the Airbnb reservation link on the booking overview screen, it launches a browser window. Would love to have this automatically open within the Airbnb app instead!
I'm in total agreement with you. People using affirm all over the place for spreading payments.

Would be great to send out quote reminders to guests if they didnt booked yet.
I have a closed booking that is paid for.
I just got in an additional bill from a caterer who provided services to the guest.
I went to create a separate booking/invoice but could not do this without a booking property on available dates.
I would love a way to do this so I can take advantage of
It seems that this would be not so hard to do and it would help us streamline our work flow and stay more in OR.
As it is now I have to do all of this separately in QBO where I do not have a credit card processor set up.
It would be nice to be able to search the Feature Requests so that we don't end up posting duplicate features.
Hello Travis, Do you have an agreement you would be comfortable with sharing. If so please message me. Thanks!
If unit B and A are linked, and unit B is already blocked by a booking from Unit A, between eg 5-10th October, I am unable currently to do a manual block from 1st Oct - 31st Oct on unit B.
I would like to be able to block the full period to close off the unit for that period. If the booking in unit A is cancelled, as it stands currently, the dates in unit B will be automatically opened for sale, and I do not want them open.
Can we please integrate with Strike to accept payments in USD and bitcoin.
I would really like to see additional options added to template triggers booking criteria. I've run into this before, but right now what's top of the pile for me is wishing there was an option to select only bookings with a non-standard check-in time! (For my email offering early check-in by booking the night before arrival, I'd like it to only trigger to guests who haven't already pre-arranged this.)
When you go to manually record a deposit, it shows you what payments have not yet been deposited (so it shows you where you left off, so to speak).
In looking briefly at your account, your payment processor is integrated to do automatic deposits and you have Airbnb Transaction Sync turned on so you should have very few manual deposits to do, if at all.
If you have further questions on this, write in to the Helpdesk and we can dive into more specifics with you.
P.S. You can use the Batch Update button on the right-hand side of the page if you need to mark payments in bulk as deposited, or undeposited if you need to make changes.
P.P.S. I just noticed you use QuickBooks. If you're manually processing them there, we do have plans to bring Deposits into QuickBooks automatically. We hope to be able to begin work on that in the next quarter or two. That should be a huge timesaver when we get that established if that is what you currently do manually.
It is like saved reports.
Would be very helpful.
I would like the ability to Select inactive properties on commission and booking reports without having to go in and activate them.
Recommend making a new feature request for the Z-Wave locks. This Feature request is specific to the Schlage Encode Wifi locks (no hub) as it is one of the most popular locks. I appreciate that Ownerrez has listened to our feedback to provide direct integration with this lock. Remote lock still exists for other lock variants as a solution for now. No PM software is perfect and has EVERY feature but I do appreciate that Ownerrez has a way to request a feature and let the community vote on how important those features are. Definitely helps guide their development focus!
ARe you using Lynx with OR?
Hospitable also integrated with Schlage Z-wave easily. This is proving to be a big speed bump with OwnerRez. And very not happy about having to pay for another integration.
Caleb - I'm talking about the deposit list you get when you select the Deposits option of the Tools drop down.
Hi Daniel,
Are you referring to deposits on bookings? If so currently we have this article on this subject: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/deposits-findfilterstatus#status
If not could you elaborate on where you're seeing these deposits that you'd like to have a deposit status for?
~Caleb
Since that was an airbnb booking I assume it came API from an airbnb early check in?
Not necessarily. The check-in and out times can be changed after a booking inside OwnerRez to reflect what you have worked out with the guest.
How do we change check in status times on direct bookings or vrbo?
If you click the "Change / Move" button on the Booking, you can adjust the times.
