Blog » About the Dec 26th Outage

Template/Design Share » How to add a webform in there?

We are running a full resync with Airbnb which should get all properties back online without any manual action, unless you took manual action to disconnect them yourself previously.  This process is …

There's no need to do a full database backup yourself, but, you can certainly export all your contacts and bookings via several different methods.  We'll likely be adding more convenient or even auto…

@Wayne - It does look like Airbnb automatically reactivated your property listings once service was restored.  Our belief is that this should occur for everyone, so, you should not need to take any m…

You definitely *can not* disconnect and reconnect the Vrbo API on the fly - don't attempt that. Regarding Airbnb, we have seen some reports of clients using this approach successfully, but have n…

Unfortunately, since the listing channels don't support this, it is not likely that we would add this capability. You could do something vaguely along these lines by using the old-school surcharg…

Feature Requests » Ability to create a discount if the guest has a paid Friday and Saturday night stay

Scheduling tasks in OwnerRez isn't likely, as OwnerRez isn't designed to do task management - we leave that to our housekeeping service management partners.  It would likely be possible to transmit t…
