Receive Vrbo guest inquiries and guest portal messages in the Hostfully Inbox
Currently I can communicate with Vrbo guests via email in the Hostfully Inbox. Here's how I do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzrIBhiitBY&t=4s.
Also, it's great that when the guest sends me a message in a booking request through Vrbo, then that message appears in the Hostfully Lead/Stay Details.
There are a couple of scenarios where I would appreciate a deeper integration with Vrbo's messaging. For example, if the guest sends me a message through the Vrbo guest portal, then it doesn't come into the Hostfully inbox and I can only reply through my email. Another example is if the guest sends me…

Modification of scheduled messages
On the "Scheduled Messages" tab, we should be able to modify a message that is scheduled for a guest. For example, If I have a guest pay for an early check in, I should be able to modify their scheduled messages to show their new real check in time. Right now the only option is to delete a scheduled message and then we have to remember to go in and send it manually at the time it would have normally been sent.

Add a character count to the text boxes in the description
Since Airbnb is enforcing the character limit, it'd be a great idea if hostfully can add a character count to the text boxes in the description.

Bulk edit the price and min stay per night
So we can now view the price and minimum stay per night in the new calendar beta. Great! But can we edit it for one or multiple properties at once?
YES! This is coming in our 2nd version of the new Central Calendar !

Preserve pricing when modifying existing bookings (i.e. adding guests or additional nights)
We're noticed a flaw in the way Hostfully handles modification of an existing booking that we'd like to see corrected as it has the potential to overcharge guests.
Essentially, when you make a change to an existing booking (adding guests, or adding nights), if the price of the lodging has changed since the guest booked, Hostfully applies the new price to their entire stay, rather than simply applying any new charges.
For example:
Let's say a party of four books three nights in on of our lodgings at a rate of $100/night.
The lodging is capable of housing six, but…

Integrate directly with Expedia
I'd like to integrate directly with Expedia from Hostfully to ensure my properties are listed there and not be charged commission through channel partners.
I understand some properties are distributed to Expedia if I am connected to Vrbo, though Vrbo can't guarantee that will happen and we can't request it. I can connect to Expedia through channel management partners, but they charge an extra commission. A direct connection would guarantee I am listed on that channel and save listings expenses.

Ability to split payments for reservations
Would love to have the option for our guests to use the link to pay any amount like when two guests split the bill in two or more, or when they can pay a certain amount at a time, instead of the strict amount based on our reservation payment policy (50% deposit, 50% balance. That said, when we send them the payment reminder, they can use the link in there and enter "x" amount.
23 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We have considered this in the past but this behavior comes with complexities. The question is whether we consider a property as booked on the first split payment and block the calendar or not:
- if we do: a guest could pay $5 on a $1000 payment and the calendar will be blocked with a payment that does not meet the reservation amount threshold (putting the PM at risk)
- if we do not consider it as booked until the whole $1000 is received, the PM could end up with 4 payments of $200 and the property is still available. Someone else could then end en booking the property and the PM is left with having to process 4 refunds.
So this feature is definitely interesting but requires that particular threshold rules to be defined and the system behaviour to adapt to them.

Revise guest portal invitation process
My Guests usually encounter an error when they click on the link to view their reservation details. As it turns out, it's because they haven't claimed their Hostfully account (to log in to the Guest Portal).
As a guest, I should be able to register for guest portal access from the Booking Payment Confirmed email template if iI don’t have an account already so that I can access the link to view the reservation details.

Implement Airbnb Resolution Center API
I'd like to receive all financial updates on Airbnb bookings from the Airbnb Resolutions Center on the order in Hostfully so financials can be in synch for bookings and reporting.
Problem Statement:
Right now, if a guest is refunded or funds are collected from a guest using the Airbnb resolution center, then Hostfully does not receive that information for updating bookings and therefore Reporting. This causes a gap in reporting and makes it hard to reconcile.

Import Airbnb co-host messages to Inbox
As PM with no access to the main host account but only the co-host account to send messages from the Airbnb app, I'd like these messages to show up in Hostfully Inbox as well
It occurs that many PMs don't have access to the main host account (it belongs to the owner for example). So they communicate and manage reservations as a co-host.
If Hostfully Inbox doesn't import co-host's messages, I'll need to go back and forth between Hostfully Inbox and Airbnb messages which is time-consuming.

Show Airbnb messages as coming from PM not owner
I want the messages from PMP to Airbnb guests to look like they are coming from my company, not from the owner account.
At the moment, messages sent from PMP are always shown as they're from Airbnb owner account,.8 votes -

Show calendar pricing to owners
It would be better if the owners can also see the rates on the calendar for their listings.
22 votesThis is now available in our beta release.
The stacked calendar + single property calendar on the owner portal have the same look & feel as the ones from the agency PMP.
As a PM, you now have new permissions you can setup for each owner:
- owner can view min stay + nighly rate
- owner can view booking details (guest name, number of guests)
- owner can view owner payout.
The payout is calculated as is: base rent minus agency commission. It does not take into account any fee or taxes.

Send Now Feature
It would be useful to have a "Send Now" option on Scheduled Messages for example for those guests who want their check in instructions early.

Make more variables work for trigger "New Message in Inbox"
As a Property Manager, I would like to get as much information as possible about the SMS/Email notification upon receiving a new message. It would be better to know which guest [$GUESTNAME$] is sending the message, from which channel [$LEADCHANNEL$]/which property [$PROPERTYINTERNALNAME$].
At the moment, only these 2 variables work for trigger event “New Message in Inbox” because the message is thread-oriented. I want more variables to work with this event.
[$NEWMESSAGECONTENT$]
[$INBOXTHREADURL$]
