Automatic retrying of failed messages whenever possible
Sometimes some messages failed to be sent due to server errors (Call failed 500, 429, 404). I had to go to Message Log > manually re-fired it. However, it will be better if the system automatically retries the failed messages for these types of errors.

Pre arrival form in multiple languages
We should be able to have the pre arrival form (as we have all other communication with guests) in other languages, not only english.

Templates & messages: Add variable for last 4 digits of the guest phone number
Currently there is only one variable for guest's whole phone number.
Adding another one for last 4 digits of the phone number would be very useful in templates to automate sending automatic access codes to guests. Right now we are using smartbnb for that.13 votes -
The ability to offer a guest an extended discounted stay or early check-in/check-in if there is an opening after their checkout date
The ability to automatically offer a guest an extended discounted stay or early check-in/check-in if it is available. Currently I do that through Lynx but it doesn't update the reservations in Hostfully nor does it update my cleaning crew. Would be very helpful and allow for a lot of extra upselling!

Create extra condition in TRIGGER so you can tell system NOT to send IF something has already been received.
In extra conditions when creating trigger you should be able to tell the system to NOT send trigger IF for example rental agreement has already been signed. NOT send trigger IF for example pre-arrival has already been filled out.
It makes no sense and it quite annoying for guests to continue to get requests for something that they have already completed, but in order to automate the only way to ensure these important forms are completed is to keep sending reminders regardless if they have already completed the request.

Clone Triggers
As you look for ways to enhance your platform, a suggestion - - - allow a trigger to be cloned but opt for a different method (email vs. text). We are sending codes for check in and want to do so via email and text but I literally have to create new triggers for each listing (over 60 of them) to have the same trigger that was sent as an email as a text. Pretty time consuming and tedious.

All all TIME variables to have option for AM/PM vs. Military time
I use [$LEADDEPARTURETIME$] in multiple automated triggers to remind guest of their upcoming check out time.
Normal time is 11:00am but we do allow for later at times.
When I use the variable, it just says "11:00" in military time and "13:00" for 1pm.
The issue is since most are 11:00am.. and it just shows 11:00, guest could push it and you said 11:00, we assumed 11:00pm!
I could hardcode "AM" in the text, but then when we allow for a late checkout in the afternoon, it would say ex: "13:00AM"... kinda odd.
If we had the AM/PM…9 votes -
Allow Information Submitted via pre-arrival form to be used in templates
Data captured via the Pre-arrival form (such as other guests names) and other information is not be able to be used in a template.
For example, we have to add each guest over 16 to our guest list for access to the community amenities. We capture this information via the pre-arrival form. Currently I have to manually grab that information from the pre-arrival form and manually send it to the community to add them.
Ideally, since the pre-arrival form is capturing that information it would be nice to be able to use that in a email template.

Be able to add digital signatures to custom templates
We would really like to be able to have a digital signature added to any custom templates as we send out contracts once booking is confirmed and we would like a guest to be able to digitally sign it

Add direct bank transfer option on Payment email templates
Rather than pushing all bookers to the credit card payment option we should be allowed to simply direct them to our ACH banking payment option.
Can you create a variable for 'Direct Payment' and then in the Agency Settings or Property level have the option to add bank account info?
no extra costs to the booker or to the PM - win win!

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.
[$NEWMESSAGECONTENT$]
[$INBOXTHREADURL$]

Add Pets as a Complex Condition in Messaging Triggers
You are currently able to log the number of pets and infants on a property in the reservation process.
It would be really nice to be able to trigger automated pet-policy emails only to guests who's reservation has a pet associate with it.

New Variable Request - [$ORDER_TOTAL_WITHOUT_TAX$]
AirBnB Host payout amounts do not include tax (Tax is handled by the platform before payout). But the Hostfully variables, for example [$ORDERTOTALWITHOUT_SD$] do include the taxes.
I would like to see a new variable [$ORDERTOTALWITHOUTTAXES$]. When I get a new AirBnB booking, the owner receives an email from my Hostfully templates with the booking amount set as [$ORDERTOTALWITHOUTSD$]. This includes taxes and misleads the owner to believe that they are making more money than they are.
Currently there is no way to accurately reflect the AirBnB host payout amount in the…

multiple method for each message
The current template and trigger section is cluttered. You have to create the same message several times if you want to send it out via airbnb message and a duplicate message to send via email and another duplicate for sms.
There should be only one message and a checkbox for each delivery method.7 votes -

Add reservation/guest identifier to failed payment system template
As a PM, I receive this email when a payment fails (attached herein). There is no guest or reservation identifier and I need to do further research to figure out what reservation this relates to. It would be great if Hostfully can add the guest name and reservation UID to this system message.
I tried to manually add those two items to the system template but those variables are not available for this template.

Triggers should automatically recognize the channel to send direct message or email
Currently you cannot send Airbnb messages via the Send Check-in Instructions, or Send Pre-Arrival Form; you will need to do it from the Inbox 2.0. In addition for Triggers you have to setup two triggers for every event you need. One trigger for Airbnb and one Trigger for all other channels. Ideally it would automatically recognize the channel as Airbnb and send an Airbnb Message or an email absed on the channel. This would cut triggers down by half and make it a bit simpler to manage.
