Template/Design Share » Arrival Day Email Template (sent around 3am)

@Ross There is a tradeoff between a friendly note and a sterile written feel for sure. Sometimes a more colloquially written email can establish a personal connection with guests. Do you have an exa…

General Help and Questions » channel bridge importing question

If you have "send create triggers" enabled, it will send any ones where the create triggers have never been sent before for that booking OR there was never an email address in the system for that boo…

General Help and Questions » Suggestion - Create a Showcase forum

Yep, we've bounced around the idea of having an email template area where folks can share their templates and anyone can click a button to import the template into OwnerRez. Similarly ideas on web de…

General Help and Questions » Best way to reminder myself to update custom booking fields?

There isn't a detection or trigger for that right now. You can run off a Date Range type Stay Report -- that'll includes the custom fields alongside the booking so you can see which ones are populate…

Feature Requests » Trigger email after upload of photo ID

You can't trigger it on a file upload currently, but you could create the template and use "Email this guest" and then switch to it. Not quite as automatic, but pretty close. We do have plans to add…

General Help and Questions » Specify to collect only 50% if booking is more than 60 days out?

You can't do that exactly but you can get close. The system will check the second payment days on booking and if it's past the deadline it'll require everything up front. In other words, if you put …

Yep, Kaba's still in the works. Focusing down on HomeAway API integration right now, and then the rest will come up after that.

General Help and Questions » different lock codes for different properties

If you want to go per booking, like a lock code that is unique per booking, then use a Booking type field definition. The per property field definition would be for a manual programmed lock where it'…

General Help and Questions » Secdep via CC hold + insurance vs traditional damage deposit

Yep, we're working on it! Everything has to be rejiggered a bit so the numbers all add up. We have released the TI update where guests can alter the amount, so that side is better now.

General Help and Questions » Damage Protection on Channel Bridge Imports

That's an interesting point... channel bridge could override the iCal setting if it is bringing in a booking. That's not quite intentional. Do you want to have that applied or not? I can look into t…

General Help and Questions » Channel Bridge vs iCal feed for VRBO

The iCal and channel bridge items are correct. The setting VRBO email address to the OR property email is for inquiries and lets you respond to an inquiry from OwnerRez. You can't quote from OwnerRe…

General Help and Questions » Tax question

This all depends on your locality and to some extent how you set up the business (cash vs accrual etc). Many taxing authorities give you the option to choose when you report (date booked, date of pay…

General Help and Questions » Sending emails to guests

Inquiries are oriented around that response. You can go to an inquiry and "answer again", but the main purpose is to get an initial response (or perhaps hook up to an autoresponder). We don't have tr…

General Help and Questions » Channel Bridge vs iCal feed for VRBO

Yep, that's exactly right. You want to do both -- the iCal because it'll get the calendar blocked automatically, and then the channel bridge because it brings in more detail and can send the "on crea…
