General Help and Questions » Emails going to spam

Unfortunately, there is no way to be absolutely sure the emails sent to your guests won't end up in their spam folders instead.  The nature of the Internet email system originated half a century ago,…

General Help and Questions » Sold API connected property

Well, that's Airbnb.  Vrbo is more finicky. https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/channel-management-api-integrations-vrbo-common-issues-questions#disable

General Help and Questions » Pricing Help

You'd probably be best served by writing in to the Helpdesk with screenshots and specific examples of exactly what is wrong.  You could also take a look at Tools > Rate Calendar to see if that is sho…

Feature Requests » Automatic capitalisation of guest names

The trouble is that not all names work that way.  What about deWitt?  Or O'Hara?

General Help and Questions » How to embed custom fields into Hosted Website ?

Unfortunately, you cannot - custom fields don't work in the website fields, as you discovered. You'll need to embed all the videos on a special custom page: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/a…

Feature Requests » VRBO Native Messaging in OwnerRez via API integration

I should mention that, if you are using direct security deposits and making your guests sign our Agreements as we recommend, then in a sense you are independent of the channels. Yes, it is possib…

Feature Requests » Ability to have one channel be instant book and air b&b not be

Well, that is the requirement that Airbnb imposed on us, in order to allow us to do Request-to-Book at all.  Their system, their rules I guess. Are you sure that other systems allow RTB in Airbnb…

Feature Requests » Guest has a problem trigger?

Yes, actually, there's a way to do this now. We've added Tags as criteria on Triggers.  So, if you create a "Problem Guest" tag, you can set that in the criteria to not send that email to booking…

Feature Requests » Integration with Marriott Homes and Villas

We've actually met with them, but at present, they're oriented towards very large operations (hundreds or thousands of properties under one management), which isn't the bulk of OwnerRez clients.  Thi…

Feature Requests » iCal Feed and Third Party Notifications

Unfortunately, yes, Google Calendar is notorious for not updating.  We don't know why this is, and when it gets stuck, there doesn't appear to be a way to reset it.  It's usually best simply to use a…

Feature Requests » Auto Daily changes to listing to keep it "fresh" on ABNB and VRBO

This is kind of a myth - yes, this trick used to work, but the channels caught on to it years ago and it doesn't anymore.  So, no, we won't be adding this, because there's no point to it these days. …
