It's almost the end of the year, and we want to be well-prepared for 2025! We've made a lot of new improvements and also focused on fixing features that users would like to see improved.
Calendar Availability
Edit check-in and check-out for reserved days
- We used to not show check-in or check-out fields if the booking dates were not available
- Now, the check-in and check-out input fields will always show in the "Availability" section of the Calendar right sidebar
- One or both of the fields may be disabled and not editable because the dates are reserved
- If the user selects a date range and the field is disabled, it'll be disabled for the whole range
- To fix this, the user simply needs to select a narrower date range
VRBO
More detailed payment data is available
- We are now showing all the payment details for VRBO reservations
- We're also showing the correct status for the payments when split over time
Update to the VRBO shortcode %listing_name%
- We were pulling the wrong data, causing users to use %listing_city% instead of %listing_name%
- Now, VRBO bookings using shortcodes will pull the correct data from %listing_name%
- If you were using %listing_city% instead of %listing_name%, you can revert it to how the expected behavior would be
Smart Devices
Add custom presets to your thermostats 🌡
- Before we only had default presets to set your thermostats to, such as occupied or unoccupied
- Now, we've added the ability to add your own thermostat presets in the device section
- This allows you to better handle temperatures at specific properties or in certain circumstances
- We also added a new dashboard to view and manage your presets
- You can read a more thorough explanation of thermostat presets here in this help article
Owner Statements
Better usability of transactions in Owner Statements
- There's now pagination so if you have a large number of transactions, they'll sort by pages
- Transactions are now sorted by transaction date
- We now show which transactions are locked with a description explaining how to edit them
- Users will no longer see that they can delete locked transactions
Inbox and Messaging
Booking alternations card improvements
- Before, it was hard to interact with the alternation that the guest requested in the message thread
- Now, the alternation card has been updated to be more user-friendly
- It no longer overlaps with the sidebar and the details are displayed easier to read
