Want to allow wide-open inquiries for even no-date requests?
Check out the widget settings now. There are a lot of new options.
That's it for now
Lots of other stuff going on, but I wanted everyone to know about these specific feature updates so that you can go make them work for you right away.
As always, if you've seen other change in the system and have ques...
Hello,
We just tried to put some of our properties on Airbnb and ran into issues where they said they owners had to do the listings then add us in. Has anyone else run into similar issues? Part of the reason our owners adore us is because they don't have to do the back end stuff. Thank you in advance.
...that stop you from enjoying another round of the Midsummer Updates series! We're at Part 8 and covering 14 updates from the week August 23. This is a tidy little update but packs in some important stuff, so off we go!

Always process Travel Insurance. We have a "Confirm and Finalize" page where users often go to make 'pending' bookings permanent. The confirm page runs the guest's card and does a bunch of stuff including processing Travel Insurance requests. However the user can bypass this by going to the payments area and just running the guest's card directly. When they do that, the booking's 'pending' s...

Make widget help article link clickable again. In the widgets area, there's a link to our support articles that explains how to use the Embed Code and other widget stuff. The link was hidden by something over top of it, but all better now!

Note that, with Airbnb, you can already create a custom quote in OwnerRez and send it to a prospective guest via the API.
This really doesn't help when none of this shows in the calendar we are viewing when we are creating quotes!!!!!
I need to see this stuff when I'm preparing quotes for guests. I also need to see availability for ALL of my properties, and to be able to prepare multiple quotes for multiple properties in response to a single inquiry.
While we're on the subject...

Hmmm....
...ey guys,
Sorry for the delay on this. I wanted to discuss internally because our RemoteLock support is kind of up in the air right now. We support the "old methods" really well but some of the new stuff we don't. As it happens, we are in the middle of upgrading our RemoteLock support to handle their newer APIs and we are adding Kaba as well.
We would like to support Vera and Zwave but it's more co...

I was looking at some youtube intro stuff for wufoo and looks like I may be able to do that in my website - so I can either send it to @inquiryspot or maybe in the beginning send it to my email address to see what shows up. Now will your programs know the data that is being past? I guess most heading should be the same - first last names, etc - I will look back at the websites you included...
...it isn't a lot of additional work.
We recently (just in the past few days) released an update to make the rate calendar much slimmer and easier to use on mobile and tablet displays. The top header stuff is greatly reduced and the "set" button row is also collapsed. This allows an entire month of days to show easily in your smartphone window. Here's a pic:

None of the reports per-se have the listing site reservation number on them but there is a data export that has it.
Go to the Bookings tab and go to List view, then use the Export button in the top-right to export to Excel. That will include the reservation number (and a ton of other stuff about the booking).
...Air (which pretty much everyone does) you will have to get used to accepting Book Now requests and using their message thread.
* We are working on tools to work WITH the message thread and Book Now stuff that they send.
* It is more important than ever to export your records out as the walled gardens put up their high walls

- Check-in and Check-out policy
- House access code for the lockbox
- Specific reminders about the area (fishing licenses, etc)
You can find the custom paragraph stuff in your property area under the Email Settings tab.
Awesome!
Yep, on the logged in site on your booking area it only searches the bookings and stuff in your account.
To search support articles, forums, and blog posts, use the search box in the support area: Yes, we know we need to put that at the top of the screen here :-)

You want all that in OwnerRez so you can manage bookings directly without logging ina nd out of channel constantly, and you want your down-stream stuff (reports, search, QB integration, etc) to be accurate across all bookings whether channel or not.
Channel Bridge is a work in progress and it will be for a long time. It's a fairly difficult proble...
