    Currently, Airbnb reservation alteration requests do not appear in the OwnerRez inbox. Absolutely zero notifications come through OR for these guest-initiated requests. These requests do show inside Airbnb message threads, which suggests they are being delivered through Airbnb’s messaging system in some form. However, they are not being passed through the OR inbox API. For those of us trying to mak...

    I’d like to propose a workflow improvement that would significantly streamline daily operations for OwnerRez users—especially those managing multiple properties, automations, and guest-specific workflows.

    Hi everyone,

    First, I want to say that I truly love OwnerRez and rely on it heavily for my business. We manage a high volume of bookings, and OwnerRez has been a huge part of keeping everything organized.

    On our Ownerrez hosted  website's availability calendar/widget, guests attempt to click on available dates intending to start the booking process for the specific unit displayed. However, the current embedded calendar is static and non-interactive, so nothing happens when they click.

    Our website analytics (tracked with Microsoft Clarity) show this causes guest frustration and abandonment—visito...

    A guest informed me today that the discount I applied to her quote was not showing up when she attempted to "Accept & finalize" her booking. Upon further review, the Confirm & Pay page is NOT matching the emailed Quotes. Furthermore, when the guest finalizes the booking and makes a payment, the discount does not auto-correct or get re-applied... it's like it was never added to begin with. This is n...
