Please add this feature for VRBO.  The feature currently works great for AirBNB and I have seen a marked improvement in the number of reviews I get back from guests in return.

Vrbo has said that support for this is in development, so, we're thinking likely something in the first half of the coming year.

I believe we recently got the spec from Vrbo for beta dev and testing.

Good to hear that this may be moving forward....it would be excellent to have for VRBO. It makes a huge difference in getting guests to leave 5 star reviews and saves us time.

We plan to do the pilot of the Vrbo Reviews API (which will essentially just replace the need for Channel Bridge to bring in Vrbo reviews) as soon as we can, but Vrbo Messaging delayed our timeline. The Vrbo Reviews pilot does not include the automatic reviews functionality. Vrbo is working on it but it will be later this year or sometime next year before it's ready for partners to work with.

Hi! How do we go about putting our name in the hat for the private beta on this?
