Blog » New Inquiry Triggers, Major Trigger Redesign, No More Platform Email for Booking.com, Improved Property Mapping Warnings Layout!

I looked at your account, and there should be an inquiry in the conversation stream.  Vrbo channels automatically sync messages from Vrbo now, and the email side is unnecessary.  In fact, the email s…

There's a complication in this, in that when someone is starting to book on my website, I get notification of it being an inquiry. When you get that alert saying that "Book Now started by Joe Bl…

Also, I'm not seeing a condition for time of day for the trigger to go off. This is important, as if I receive an inquiry during the daytime when I'm awake or not away, then I don't want a triggered …

Blog » Booking.com Messaging has Arrived in Your Inbox, and Lots More Fun!
