    Just about every data element in OwnerRez has a matching field code that allows you to create a messaging template (e.g., email, SMS, Airbnb) referring to that data element, and have it be automatically populated with the correct information for a specific booking, property, etc. each time the message is sent.

    I'm having a few integration issues with OR, being in Australia. I know you're US-focussed, but the same things should work for all (we pay the same). As an aside it would also be great if you looked at other integrations outside of the US. There are quite a few platforms I can't use as the integrations are only with the major ones. I know we're small fry, but. Anyway, this issue:

    This one is r...

    I'm trying to reconcile the deposits that OR thinks have come in over the last month with my bank statement. To aid this process, I would like to have a way of simply and easily generating an Excel file that contains each lump-sum amount and the date it went to the bank.

    But so far the only way I've found of actually getting this data displayed this way is to go to the Deposits screen and filte...

    Roku "Guest Mode" is the biggest waste of time, and a completely useless feature that vacation rental hosts really can not use!

    What Roku fails to mention when promoting this 'feature' is that it only benefits the guest, in that it wipes out their credentials when the Roku is taken out of guest mode.

    But do all of the owner's pre-existing settings come back and are available to use again af...

    Actually it's probably a bit more complex than what you would provide but I've been thinking of a work around.

    I have "2" properties, one is our rental home, the other is our rental car. I would love when someone books the house, to create a task to follow up x days before arrival to confirm they have a car rental. I do this manually now but to have an actual task especially when it's busy woul...

    Many OwnerRez users who connect to Airbnb via API are experiencing a significant operational issue: Airbnb is sending guest-selected arrival times (often earlier than the property rule), and OwnerRez automatically applies those times to the booking without host approval.

    This is not an approved early check-in — it is simply the guest’s chosen arrival time during booking or modification. But whe...

    Hi Dan,

    Great question, and you’re thinking about this exactly the right way.

    There isn’t a standalone “lookup” endpoint just to validate discount codes on their own. The intended workflow is to pass the discount code into the pricing engine and let OwnerRez evaluate it in the context of the stay details.

    You don’t have to create a real quote just to do this. The recommended approach is...

    Great questions, and thank you for asking them in such a thoughtful way. I completely understand wanting to be prepared and minimize disruption, especially when payments are involved.

    Let me address your questions directly:

    a) What happens if you ever start having problems with Converge in the future?
    Even though Converge has been deprecated, it continues to function today, and many users a...

    You can continue using Converge as long as it’s working well for you. 🟡 We have seen automatic payment failures on some accounts, and Converge has not been able to troubleshoot or resolve those issues. If that happens to you, it’s helpful to already have an alternative processor lined up—ideally one you explore during your slower season so you’re not forced to switch under the pressure of busy wee...

    Try going to Properties > Channel rules & if you have a default to strict 14, remove that and replace it with a cancellation policy Airbnb allows.

    Hi Jay,

    Thanks for the feedback here, that totally makes sense, especially for repeat guests where you want to keep things low pressure but still follow up at the right time.

    Just to clarify one piece first, Triggers only control when a message gets sent. They don’t automatically change anything about the booking or the quote itself (like extending the expiration date).

    It sounds like t...

    Sorry! My display of the name reads as 'Instant Quote' Booking/Inquiry Widget, because the page includes my custom name for the widget.

    In correct nomenclature it is the 'Booking Inquiry' Widget.

    In my particular usage of it on this particular page of my website, I refer to it as Instant Quote, and I have the Quote setting on the widget as follows:

    Thanks for taking the time to share this request, Ryan!

    Hi Elliot,

    Great question, and you’ll be glad to know you can already accomplish this today without any new development. Rezzy will happily choose the right seasonal answer as long as the FAQ itself is structured in a way the model can interpret.

    I recorded a quick Loom that shows this working in real time, along with an example of how to format your FAQs so Rezzy knows what to do:
