    Yep, those things. And yes, we've known about it too. To make matters worse, as you keep clicking stuff, new pop-over cards would open even though the old ones didn't close. You had to click on the same link as before to close a single card. We finally had enough and fixed this. It is much easier no...

    We released an update earlier today that was mostly aboutProperty Management stuff, but we slipped in a couple things for emailing that will make your life a lot easier. We have a lot ofchanges coming for guest communication - responding toinquiries, dealing with guest responses, capturing a timeline/thread of everything - but we wanted to fix a problem that has been frustrating users for awhile.

While we can't work on channel stuff every week, we constantly make notes so that we can jump on improvements when the time allows. Not a month goes by when we aren't making channel updates. In this release, we hit a couple of things w...

    Good stuff. Hoping this is addressed in the future unified inbox I heard about I think for 2023. I've seen a very cool app from Enso Connect that asks the guest what their preferred communication method is. Maybe consider something similar for each message that goes out, to allow the guest to select how they want to hear from us. OwnerRez's system could only offer the options the host has subscribed to...

Some of those things are already done by channels and we'd have to direct them to the channel on those bookings, but would work for direct book...

    From what I've heard, OR is working on getting channel messaging (i.e. replying through Vrbo, Airbnb, etc.) implemented, so once that goes live, we'll be able to send some stuff there, although rich content like PDF welcome packets and things might still have to go via email, and URLs might get censored (TBD).

Cleaning checklists, photo upload to note the state of the property, all of this is on our list of stuff we will be adding eventually.

    No updates yet - sorry about that! 😥

    We keep having to back-burner stuff like that because of important features that pop up. We just finished a large HomeAway API update for instance which slowed down a bunch of other things. And now we just signed with Airbnb so that will be coming too in the near future, also slowing down some things. There are certain features that we are forced to drop everyt...

    I highly recommend talking to Ximplify who we started partnering with for accounting stuff awhile back. We push PMs, large and small, in their direction. Good folks over there who know how to use OwnerRez, QuickBooks and a lot more . We are working with them a lot on expanding our QB integration to many more things and change accounting models to be more correct in general.

    When you put a comment on the amenity, it'll show on the hosted website.

    For the event center, mark it as "events allowed". For stuff like that and also minimum age, the details would go in the text fields and then perhaps in your renter agreement. Again, there's no way for us to enforce that on the channels so it's informational a...

    HomeAway strips out a ton of formatting from the email in their effort to block all contact info. They basically convert everything to plain text, and their conversion algorithm can jumble stuff up.

    I had a look at your email template and there was still some hidden formatting in there that might have been confusing the HA system. I stripped every last bit of formatting for you -- AVAILGEN...

Obviously custom fields for that would have to wait until CRM stuff was actually out. I can tell you that it will probably a good deal of time before that happens.

    It sounds like you're looking for a marketing tool to send newsletter type content out. I don't think any of our scheduled sending stuff fits that bill at the moment. I suppose if we allowed you to take a template and do a one-time in-place send to all bookings (or a filtered list of them), that would meet your need. Something to th...

    2) For amenities, we've thought about that but the problem is if we put it in a widget then it's going to affect the SEO on your site. Google doesn't search stuff in widgets as well as they do things that are written out directly on the site which is why we've so far avoided making widgets for the content parts that you do want to SEO.
