Feature Requests » Email Template Background

General Help and Questions » Creating a Trigger to send an email based on a Custom Field

There's probably a better way, but I have a similar situation and did a work-around as follows: I write my email template for the special group of guests. I do not permit pets, so my bookings will a…

Feature Requests » Refundable damage deposit - how it is displayed in quotes

Totally understand - guests don't seem to get it. Either that or they don't have much wiggle room on their credit card. Ha! I have switched to a security deposit "hold" to see how that works. I'v…
