Hello all,
A 20% last minute discount has been applied to a Vrbo booking for August 2025. The reservation was made in June 2024.
The discount should apply when the following condition is complied with: "Arrival Days From Now is Less than or Equal To 60 Days"
At present, the discount has been disabled but I am not sure if it was in June 2024.
Questions:
1) how is it possible this has...
I am using API for Airbnb and VRBO and direct booking via a non OR site widget. I have created 2 custom rental agreements to tailor liability language (we have a treehouse but no hot tub, etc) and to allow for collecting a security deposit for VRBO and direct, but not for Airbnb.
I would like to send channel messages to sign the rental agreement. For Airbnb, I assume I should use the fix-up for...
I'm trying to dynamically build a channel message:

Hey Jennifer -
THANK YOU for inquiring or setting up a meeting with us. Unfortunately (very unfortunately) we are currently unable to honor your request. At this time, we still aren'...
...nks Suzee,
I ended up selecting all three and doing a test booking, and triggers worked as planned.
My Wix site has a Booking widget and also a Calendar widget, so maybe this is why there are 2 separate checkboxes under "listing site" that use "fileusr.com". I can see from the booking which of these was the source of the booking, so I assume if I unselect the other one and My Property it wo...

Thanks for the timely response! If you're working on it, I can tolerate it.
But since you asked what else could be fixed:
(1) Ability to resize the panels
(2) When opening the inbox, the main panel should show the latest message, not a blank screen (maybe this is just my preference)
(3) Filtering is great (thank you!) but it would be nice to have a search function.
Thanks!
