...e I'm on the product team, I get to share upcoming product news every now and again. One of those things I'm really excited about is that we're working on overhauling the OwnerRez "Guest Forms." Good stuff!
In the meantime, because it's a large overhaul, we know we needed to handle cell phones differently on the current forms. The cell phone field is first and that way if people have one number, it's...
Hello,
We just tried to put some of our properties on Airbnb and ran into issues where they said they owners had to do the listings then add us in. Has anyone else run into similar issues? Part of the reason our owners adore us is because they don't have to do the back end stuff. Thank you in advance.

* Misc. sync holes (exchange rate setting, customer background info not syncing)
* Supporting refunds (the QB credit memo stuff does not align)
* Supporting secdeps
Outside of those things, which are all about the current syncing process, we plan to add these:

Accounting doesn't seem to be a priority and in some cases not even well understood. To me it is really hard to understand how work is being done on stuff like lock integration that is a non-paid feature and there are at least half dozen of services that provide a solution and that effort is not directed towards fixing accounting that is an integral ne...

Payment and Deposit settings are now split:
Payment Settings are now not clearer to only being about payment-related stuff, and require "Undeposited Funds" mapping if you are syncing deposits:
There is a new Deposit Settings tab that maps deposit types...

We are changing it to use the name. The feedback on that has been overwhelming and the use case is pretty obvious. The OwnerRez engineer working on lock stuff is already actively working on putting that in place.

Before Inbox cleanup, we've had to clean up messaging features (like Autoresponder) and work our way through some of the side features so that we can get to the main stuff. That, too, has already been underway for a while.
Our PM system has a large V2 about to drop that we've been working on for 2 years which changes a number of significant things around commissio...

Here's a quick pic of us testing it:
(Ignore the purple buttons. That's extra stuff that only OR staff can see.)
We created two different locks and associated them with the same property and set "random" as the code generation setting. We created a booking, and, as you can see,...

9) On top of this, no ability to organize templates into folders. It's a hot mess.
10) No ability to use many basic tag automations. We're forced to use zapier for such basic stuff. not clear what "basic tag automation" is for you. I have tag automations to send cleaners a reminder for same-day turn days, send me a text reminding me to set thermostats, send guests a suggestion...

What we would like to see is a page in the app that would include the stuff that you have in some of your reports like:

When using the widget, I then had a massive list of poorly organized stuff that was not able to be well-stylized for the site. The only way I found to group things as I wanted in a moderately well-stylized manner was to hardcode my amenities into my site manually. See exam...
