    ...to communicate with guests directly through their email.  Unfortunately, the channel doesn't always supply client email.  One channel seems to pass the guest email through in the booking less than 1/2 the time.

    Yes I just have a lot of last minute bookings and over 50 cleanings a month- sometimes 25 a week and different cleaners work on different days so I think I need a way to run a report based on which cleaner is working that property on that departure day so then I can specify the report to run for a certain cleaner 2 times a week looking forward maybe 3 weeks at a time..

    It would be nice to have...

    I know there is an 'available" reply and "reply with quote" option to trigger sending written quote when property is available. So essentially guests gets 2 emails. In my case it is redundant as my contents of "available" email and "reply with quote" emails are identical except the latter has also quote embedded. is it possible to trigger ONLY quote email if property is available and bypass "availa...

    So I was entertaining the following idea.
    1. set up VRBO with "security deposit not required".
    2. Disclose in VRBO listing that sec dep will be required by a cc and will be collected 3 days prior to arrival.
    3. VRBO booking is imported to OR
    4. be able to send the sec dep link to the renter 3 d...

    I guess I did not explain it well. if you are set up as 2 payments (1st deposit, then payment), and not 100% upfront., TA does NOt release renter contact after deposit is paid. meaning you can only send rental agreement and get ID from renter AFTER they ha...

    Problem 1: I had copy/pasted from microsoft Word a table. It looked great, helped readability, but it was somewhat wide. Removing that helped a little

    Problem 2: Long links. I had about 5 links in the email that I had to replace with shortened links. Was easy to do in the OR email template editor, I just replaced the 'Text to Display' with a short descript...

    There are a couple things you can do to change rates...

    #1 - you can do rules based pricing like "for arrivals < 10 days away, add a 20% discount" -- this is done as a criteria in the surcharges & discounts section

    #2 - you can use spot rates. These allow you to set specific nightly rates for a date range. It's not a calendar UI ye...

    Resurrecting the topic.
    I want to hear from members how use sec dep (CC hold) on the following:

    1. Have you ever had to charge from sec dep? If so, was it difficult?
    2. If you had traditional damage deposit and switched to sec dep, did you have increase in damages/mess created by renters?
    3. If you use sec dep, AND if you take payments by venmo/check/zelle, how do you handle it? Do you male peop...

    Ahh, the secret is out! Yep, this went out in a release over the weekend. We haven't written docs yet, but it's pretty simple:

    1) Go to Settings > Surcharges & Discounts and add one
    2) Select the Discount type
    3) Select Applied by Discount Code and enter the code

    Once you have discount codes that apply to a property, the discount code box will appear on the guest form for a quote as well as on th...

    Does this mean anytime I add a new scheduled email After an event has happened it will apply to everything that previously happened? Example: send a survey email 2 days after departure? Will it send to everyone that has already left? Send a check in email 7 days before, will it send to all or only future check ins?

    Also, what is the time zone that the system uses? Example: My property is in...

    Hi Claudia,

    Great question! All you have to do is:

    1.) Create a custom field at the property level

    2.)Populate it with the property specific information

    3.) Create the scheduled email template then refer to that custom field to pull in the property info

    I can also walk you through this if you need me to!

    ...ater.

    In the future, it's possible that we could create a system of rules so that some are auto-released and some aren't. For instance, you could set a rule so that any booking with a group size of 2 or less is auto-released 3 days after departure, but bigger groups require manual. Something like that.

    Hope this helps,
