Select Lead Source for Manual Bookings
It would be great to select a lead source when manually entering a booking rather than it just saying it is from Hostfully. For example, a booking from a lead from FurnishedFinder and a booking from a lead from word of mouth both show up as "Hostfully" booking, whereas we would like to differentiate the groups to know specifically where our bookings are coming from.

The exact source can also be sent via "referrer" or "notes" or "exterNotes" for better reference.

@DucTu, I agree with Holly. This is not a feature that Hostfully currently supports. Having the ability to select where the lead source actually comes from is very important. We would love to be able to more easily track in Hostfully what channel the bookings come from. Right now, if we enter a booking manually, it shows as a direct booking rather than Furnished Finder or referral or off a listing site like Zillow.

@DucTu , I do not fully understand what you mean, nor do I see this improvement as "completed". Of course we can put it in the "notes" section where the exact source is from, but we're looking to be able to differentiate booking sources within the dashboard/analytics pages. For example, I might have three bookings that say that their "channel" is "Hostfully". These reservations might all be from different lead sources: direct booking page, FurnishedFinder, and personal connection. Knowing the exact lead source will help us understand where our bookings are coming from. Thanks!
