Default messaging channel to how a guest initiated communication
Currently, when a guest sends a message via SMS, you can respond, but have to change the default to SMS from email. The default is always email for direct bookings. It would be nice to have the default be however the guest initiated conversing.

Expand length of the Direct Booking Site "Review Response" field
As a PM I would like to have up to 500 characters to respond to a guest review so that I can be very detailed about my response. Right now, there's a limit of 255 characters.

Add Different Public Names to Properties for Different OTA's
It would be nice to be able to designate separate Public Names for a property, depending on the OTA.
Each OTA has different requirements/allowances for name length and special characters. Airbnb for instance limits you to 50 characters, while Vrbo allows 80.
There seems to be no limit to the number of characters Hostfully allows for the public name, and I'm not clear what happens when the name in Hostfully exceeds the OTA's allotment of characters.
Additionally, the names used on OTA's are often more descriptive/call out amenities, or are optimized in an attempt to make them stand out. For…

Guest email addresses in emails
With the new inbox we are getting replies from guests coming to our actual email account (ie: gmail or google) which is great as we were missing guests replies when they were coming into the inbox. However if I wish to reply to the guest from my email account not the inbox their address is not their just platform@hostfully. Is there any way to have their actual email address added as well (for non Airbnb guests - as I understand Airbnb have dedicated emails)

Quote or Special Offer option for VRBO enquiries.
I get a typical enquiry from VRBO guests requesting a discount/offer for longer stays. AirBnB allows the option to offer a discount, special offer, but Hostfully integration with VRBO does not. The work around puts the guest out and depends on gaining a lot of trust.

Color coding for multi-calendar view for NON-booked dates.
While looking at the calendar for dates that aren't booked yet, would be nice to be able to toggle some shading for rates/colors. I use it to help adjust my Dynamic Pricing (DPGO for me) to see where I might have a property over/under priced.
Would be nice to have a few brackets can set the amount and color. 0-200 - Yellow, 201-400 - Green, 400+ Red.2 votes -
Credit card processing fee only applies to RENT but not to Total amount
Hi there. I'm using Stripe as a payment processor. I have added a Credit card processing fee 4% but it is only applies to RENT but not to all amount like Cleaning fee, taxes or pet fee, etc. I end up paying hundreds of dollars out of my pocket every month plus I receiving questions from the owners.

Just a simple print listing with the information. No pics needed.
A simple "print listing" with the listing info to have in your hand as you recheck listings or want a hard copy to file or give out. I know the last part is old school. Some of us just like it that way...

Hide owner information from different team users with access to property information
When you add a new team member and give them access to 1 or multiple properties from your inventory, you can then assign a role to them.
The different roles are as follows:
- associate
- booking agent
- property sales manager
- manager
When you assign either of the roles that gives the team member to a specific property and all of its details, this also gives them access to the OWNER tab of the property.
The owner tab of the property stores personal contact information of the owner of the property and this does not need and should not be visible to…

SMS notification capability for UPDATED reservation
Hi Hostfully. I recently noticed a need for the function of being able to send SMS triggers to cleaners to notify them of a reservation date change update. New booking trigger and cancelled booking triggers have been working great but cleaners won't be notified when guests change their travel dates. In this case, the original booking isn't cancelled but just updated to a different date. So it would be great if you could add original/old check-in/-out dates variables on trigger templates so cleaner can receive a message like "unit 2. original date may 3- may 6. new date may 4…

Add a property drop down box to the pricing page.
Add a property drop down box to the pricing page that would allow you to jump from property to property, Similar to the one on the Calander Tools page. It gets very time consuming when you are pricing 40 or more properties. It would cut our time in half, if we can avoid going to the properties page and then selecting the pricing tab.

Add a date range option to the Pipeline
With 44 listings and 300-500 checkins per month, the Pipeline is nearly useless for managing bookings. It loads very slowly, and after about 50 bookings, glitched and runs off the end of the screen (see image).
There are many settings (i.e canceling a reservation, marking a reservation a paid, and adding a manual payment) that are only accessible via the Pipeline.
Without the ability to select a range of dates to display, it is nearly impossible to access these settings for reservations more than a week out from check-in.
This feature is critical to Hostfully's long term viability as a…

Enable groups for access controls
I'd like to add "groups" of users where anyone in that group can manage bookings/listings/etc.
As it is now: Each lead is assigned to an individual. If someone else needs to do something, they have to take ownership then go back in and make the changes, then go back and re-assign it.
I'd like a group "West Coast Property Managers" and any user in that group can manage any leads/properties in that group at any time.
The logs should show who did what when but this would avoid the overhead of having to reassign things.
I thought I made this…

ability to put a time on when SMS messages can be sent/received
My owners get a text message when a booking is confirmed. Some folks finalize a booking in the middle of the night...would like to be able to send the texts only between 8 am and 8 pm or something like that....so it doesn't wake anyone up.

Ability to rank the services presented to guests during payment flow
Set the display order for services - It would be nice to be able to sort the order in which add on services are presented to the customer at checkout. Presently the order seems to mirror that of the order they are displayed in the "Edit Provider" backend, however, you cannot adjust the order (the are simply listed in the order created). You can see in the screenshot, in order to get the two "Pet crate Rentals" to show up together, I had to create a second instance of "Pet Crate 2 - Broader services view in the property settings…

Paginate /guests endpoint
The /guests endpoint currently returns all the guests in Hostfully. This doesn't scale very well and if a user has 1,000s of guests it's possible the endpoint could timeout or the response payload would be too large to send.
It would be great to add limit and offset query parameters to this endpoint just like you have for some of your other endpoints (e.g. /v2/leads)
This would not need to be a breaking change, you could have the endpoint behave the same way if no pagination parameters are provided so that nothing changes for any software that is currently using…

Allow users to get a list of guests from specific location
I want to search for all my customers from Florida. However, right now it's not possible in Hostfully.
Or there should be a way for me to get a list of guests from Florida (maybe via Reporting feature?).

Partner program with x% partner commission on agency commission
We like to set up a partner program for our agency where every partner that refers a new property owner receives a lifetime commission of x% calculated as %tage of our agency commission.
"Must-have":
(1) A list of partners maintained in Hostfully, with their contact data and the %commission they will receive
(2) The option in the Property administration to add a partner that should receive commission on agency commission
(3) A portal for the partner to see how the properties are performing (e.g. bookings without guest names) and a dashboard showing his commission results month by month, and ability…2 votes
