Feature Requests » Make the Inbox feature similar to other messaging apps and inboxes

Actually, it's looking like the push notifications will be released first, considerably before the true unified inbox functionality.  With luck you'll have push notification very soon.

General Help and Questions » Guest email for AirBnB bookings

Yes, this is normal, because unfortunately, Airbnb turned off their proxy email system last month.  The only way to communicate with Airbnb guests initially is via their own Airbnb internal messaging…

General Help and Questions » How do I add a second API to a second home in vrbo

General Help and Questions » VRBO inquiry to quote

It is in fact not possible to do what you want.  - You cannot send the quote manually and bypass Vrbo, even if you wanted to, because Vrbo only provides the guest's real email address after they …

Feature Requests » Option to specify 2nd payment manual/offline type for advance bookings

This is already doable, and always has been. When using the Vrbo API, Vrbo passes the guest's credit card data in when the booking is made.  OwnerRez automatically takes the first payment, typica…

General Help and Questions » Add a short term hold on quotes

This actually isn't the first time I've heard of clients with this concern, but yes, it's relatively rare. A larger issue is that OwnerRez fundamentally wasn't designed to work in minutes/hours, …

Feature Requests » Cancellation policy by season?

Unfortunately, at present Vrbo does not yet support this function via their API connection, but this is planned to be added in the near future, and we'll be implementing it as soon as it's available.

Feature Requests » Cleaning Fee Spread evenly over nighty rate

Can you provide a more detailed example of what you mean, perhaps writing in to the Helpdesk with a specific example and screenshots?  As far as we're aware, Airbnb does not penalize you for breaking…

Feature Requests » Auto Snooze

There is not, and, I'm not clear what the purpose of this would be?  Generally you'd want your property to be visible for searches at any time - if there are dates you don't want to be booked, there …

General Help and Questions » Change Booking Form??

I think there's a misunderstanding here - by virtue of the fact that you have configured a PayPal account, you do accept credit cards.  This cannot be changed, because it's offered by PayPal. Own…

General Help and Questions » PM commission when booking is canceled

Is this because the reservation shows a -$80.38 because the credit card fee is being expensed?   That would be my guess.  For further investigation, please write in to the Helpdesk with the ORB b…

General Chat » FYI - Trip Advisor not accepting any more API connection requests at this time.

Unfortunate, but, they aren't talking to us either. As far as Channel Bridge, it has never fully supported Trip Advisor, but as far as I know, its existing functionality has not changed.
