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.

This is not as easy as it looks because some lock providers prevent duplicated live codes, so we have to handle several cases depending on the lock type.

This seemed like such a no-brainer, and every other PMS I looked at had this option, so I neglected to ask when I was demoing. My mistake. But agreed! So many hosts default to the last 4- or 5-digits of a phone number for door codes, it's becoming a standard.

This is 3 years old but a goodie!
The template variable should allow for {last_four_digits_guest_phone_number} to either auto-populate the PIN code or just to use in a template.I'm new here so not even sure if this will get a reply or should I create a new "idea" to bring it to the top.

With Hosfully we do not have acces to the client phone number, first go vote for my suggestion to the client add their phone number on reservation with their e-mail adress, and I ask to add their adress to. Thanks.

This would make the code very convenient, I have run into a few incidents where the guests would call at night. Their phones were dead and they couldn't remember their codes. If it was the last 4 digits, that 3 am call wouldn't be necessary.

This would be great for the integration with the lock systems like Remote Lock. We have been manually programing guest door codes to the last 4 digits of the guest's primary phone number for a while. So it would be great if the last 4 of the guests phone # variable would transfer through as the lock code to program in the integration

Hi Stephan, I would like to remove this request for enhancement as it is not priority now.
Thanks
