This has now been released: https://www.ownerrez.com/blog/enhanced-autoresponders. We did one better than just the listing site criteria and added time of day criteria as well ;-)

Blog » Enhanced Autoresponders with Listing Site and Time of Day criteria

Blog » Portal access for owners and staff released!

There's been some debate on this internally. Portal access is a pretty big ball of features, and something we'll be adding to over time with scheduling for cleaning, maintenance, etc. The way a lot o…

General Help and Questions » Anyone know of any calendar/thermostat integrations available?

General Help and Questions » FlipKey inquiries don't have arrival and departure dates nor # of guests

Looks like FK changed their inquiry email format slightly, but just enough to throw off our parser. We've now released a hotfix that addresses the issue. Can you send through another test inquiry?

We've been in contact with the Wheelhouse guys, and an integration is possible in theory but we haven't yet completed it. Are you going based on their standard auto price or doing the detailed season…

General Help and Questions » Tripadvisor inquires getting number of people incorrect

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like TA finally added adults/children into the email instead of just the guests which they had before. We'll get our parser updated to handle the new format and a hotf…

General Help and Questions » How did you find us? optional question/field

This is a good one. I know several people put text on their site asking them to enter that in the comments, but that's sort of brittle. We could put a free text field for that on the widget, but ther…
