General Help and Questions » Payments not importing from AIrbnb

Cheryl's issue was something different - it was matching to a different booking than she thought for the same property/dates - so it's not related to this. @Jim: Can you create a ticket (email help@…

Feature Requests » Update imported guest names to mixed case

General Help and Questions » Alternative to WorldPay?

That's the "send me a copy" copy you are getting. The guest is getting one too. If you look at the outbound email (top Email menu) it will show you all the email going out, including ones to you an…

General Help and Questions » Is it possible to answer as quote only when available?

Sort of, yes. You can just not send the second quote email. You would change the "available" reply to use the same message body (same field codes, etc) as the quote email so that it looks the same. …
