Feature Requests » Integration with Mailchimp

MailChimp has a full API so it's possible for us to keep lists updated on that side too (ie. as bookings/guests change in OR) but it's just not something that we've had time to do. The problem is al…

General Help and Questions » Channel bridge

Sorry for the lack of docs around Channel Bridge and our channel management at large. We've been pushing updates faster than writing docs. ….A general problem around here. Our channel integration …

General Chat » Alternative to PayPal payment processing

Ross, check out OpenEdge too. We just started supporting them, and we've been impressed with their team. Fast customer service and a meet-or-beat guarantee on rates. The downside of PayPal is that…

Blog » Introducing OwnerRez Channels

Hi Ross, That will work - having channel bridge pull across - for combination properties as long as you have the same listings on the channels, and typically most users do that. So if you have prop…

Feature Requests » Search and updated profile information

Yep, we need to do better on that. The fundamental problem with that is the support content itself, not the search. Our support docs are very limited and only cover a small part of the system. Man…

General Help and Questions » channel bridge importing question

Thanks for the suggestion. That kind of list of ones to end to doesn't exist yet, as you already know, but something like that would be good. The problem here is that create triggers can be sent at…

General Help and Questions » Enabling Canada Stays API Channel

Hi Richard, We can do that for you on this side. Do you want us to do that now or wait until the 2-3 month period is over and the property is fully online? I assume you want it online now so that …

General Help and Questions » Trigger email for Rental Agreement

Sure can! Just create a trigger and mark it go be sent "as soon as" the booking "is created". Now that will only happen if the booking is created with an email address of course, so if it's a chann…

General Help and Questions » AirBnB Auto Inquiry Import

Hi Christina, It's not impossible to do - you can always change your Airbnb profile email address to one of our @inquiryspot email addresses - but we don't recommend doing that as it doesn't provide…

General Help and Questions » Guests are listed 2x typically

Hi Rich, We've got you covered on that. First, our booking/guest exports can target (and remove) records that have fake/proxy email addresses. We also have a special report and export for mailing …

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

Rich, the content looks fine. The point is to convey as much information as you can to the guest, not win literary awards. Don't worry about the formatting.

General Help and Questions » Best way to see email history for a guest and/or booking?

There's a link on each booking (and quotes) where you can find all email sent for that booking. It's a shortcut over to the email list that filters just to that booking or quote. You can find it in…

General Help and Questions » Surcharges bundled into the "rent" charges line on quotes

Hi Tim, To be clear, you still want the line items split apart internally, but you want the guest to SEE it as the same thing. If that's the case, we don't have out yet. That's the "condensed view…

General Help and Questions » Damage Protection on Channel Bridge Imports

We've discussed internally and we may end up moving those damage protection settings to the channel only. It makes more sense to have that there then on the iCal. You either want it on a channel's …

General Help and Questions » Reports - possible to automate their sending?

Hi Rich, You can create an email template and trigger to email the cleaner with a nicely formatted message but only for one booking (using the booking field codes). There isn't a way to do a single…

Feature Requests » Sync on demand

Yes, although there are users who have whined and fussed enough and gotten VRBO to put them in PM mode even with 2 or 3 properties. That's rare though, so don't count on it. For users with less tha…

General Help and Questions » New website scam -

It does not matter how you rent or the number of rentals you have. The only thing that matters is how the property is zoned. The VR company in question had 20-some properties as rentals, many of wh…
