General Help and Questions » Importing reservations

Nope, that's it. VRBO is really stingy with the info in their calendar feed :-/ AirBnb at least gives email and phone, TripAdvisor gives guest count. VRBO only gives name and dates. We're working a …

Blog » Send trigger emails based on the listing site (eg. sending "Airbnb clean-up" emails)

Thanks for the heads up -- the article template link was grabbing a weird value when you copied and pasted it. The link wasn't going to the {BULEASE} even though the text showed that. I fixed the art…

General Help and Questions » Custom Field Definition

That informational text is only shown in the preview -- to make sure you don't wonder why it was blank. Good point that we should clarify that so you don't wonder what the real email will look like. …

General Help and Questions » General Lock code - reports

Great idea! I'll note it down and see if we can get a report in for that. In the meantime, you can see the custom fields on the Stay Reports. If you pull a date range report for the next year, you c…

Mmm, that's a good point. Damn, your calendar is stacked nicely already for this year -- hardly a day out. I tweaked it a bit so the number bubble will show the today color -- that way you'll be abl…

Can you give me a bit more detail about where you're seeing that issue? You should be able to copy/paste anywhere. We don't have buttons for that because browser security limitations don't allow us, …

General Help and Questions » holiday 3 night minimum?

If you create a specific dates season for those dates, you'll be able to set the allowed/required days and min length of stay for that Memorial Day holiday. Then you can set the same rates or differe…

Feature Requests » VRBO's New "Security" Feature

Yep, we don't do anything automatically to VRBO. The inquiry import is done via email. Here's an article on that: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/inquiry-import The calendar import and ca…

Feature Requests » VRBO's New "Security" Feature

VRBO isn't accepting us to their "PM" integration right now. What we do have is integration via email parsing (so anything they send you in the inquiry email will show up in OwnerRez). We've also go…

Blog » Facebook Tracking Pixel added, Google Analytics eCommerce tracking added

Just released a hotfix to combine the rent items into one total item by type. You'll get one for rent and one for each type of surcharge or tax. Let me know if this solves the way its showing up in …

Hmm. I wonder if they only record one item per sku. We'll try combining all rent into one line item.

OK, I've cleaned that up a bit. You'll now see "Rent for <Property>" in the rent line items. I left the surcharges as a simple description without the property name because they can apply to multiple…

General Help and Questions » Occupancy reports and blocked off time

OK, so you want to pick 1 Jan 2017 to 31 Dec 2017 to filter stay dates. Then separately pick 15 April 2017 as the "booked as of" date. So we'd grab all bookings staying from 1 Jan 2017 to 31 Dec 201…

General Help and Questions » Occupancy reports and blocked off time

Thinking about this more, what's needed for the booked date is to add a selector for the period with two options: "Use stay dates" vs "Use booked date" Stay dates does what it does now. Booked date…

Right now you can only set one departure day per season. There is a default arrival/departure day setting in the property rules, and then each season also has an arrival/departure day setting that ca…

Blog » Facebook Tracking Pixel added, Google Analytics eCommerce tracking added

Hmm. How would you categorize it instead? Perhaps there should be one "Rent" product with the property name vs. including the dates? But I'd assume you want cleaning fee et. al. to break out as well?…

General Help and Questions » Occupancy reports and blocked off time

You should be able to do that with the compare with previous option. If you pick a period 1/1/2017 - 4/11/2017, and then do compare with year before, it will compare each month with the month of the…

Is that the overall products or in one transaction? The way its set up now, each charge in the charges list is a separate "product".

We tracked down an issue where the new FB tracking pixel code was conflicting with the GA eCommerce code for certain total booking amounts. This should now be solved, and I retriggered those bookings…
