This would be helpful for listing optimization since PriceLabs syncs only once per 24 hours.  PriceLabs has some nice rules around pricing for nights that are adjacent to a booking and for availability requirements around adjacent bookings - the "Smart check-in/out" rules.

For example, we might want to use the smart check-in/out rules to require all new bookings to have a "gap" of at least 3 nights.  That is, new bookings are required to be directly adjacent to an existing booking - or - to have a gap of at least 3 nights.  When PriceLabs only runs the sync every 24 hours, this allows lots of time for bookings to come in with, say, a 1-night gap, which is then nearly impossible to rent.

OwnerRez would need to notify PriceLabs whenever a new booking comes in, have PriceLabs run the save / refresh of their rule set, and then sync back to OwnerRez.

Hey Nat,

Thanks for that request! Perhaps other OwnerRez users would find this helpful and upvote your idea as well!

Did you know that you don't have to wait for that automated sync from PriceLabs? You can force a sync at any time.

Thanks Bri!  And yes, I do often send through a sync from PL manually when I'm at my desk and we get a new booking.  It would be nice to have it fully automated - to take full advantage of the booking gap requirement rules and avoid those pesky 1-night gaps.
