  I don't think that exists at the moment, but would be an interesting feature request. The catch would be, if the guest books off of that attached quote, I wouldn't want it to be pre-approved in the same way that a quote I send is.

  A quick follow up to this thread... If you are interested in the Zapier beta, send an email to zapier-beta@myvr.com and we'll provide instructions for accessing it. It's a great way to connect your MyVR account to thousands of other applications, no technical skills required. It currently supports a wide number of triggers and actions related to inquiries, messages, reservations, and payments. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the beta. Cheers, Mike

  They have reportedly updated their plug-in to allow use on non-Wordpress sites. Since I don't really use wordpress I was wondering if I could get it to work with MYVR. Trying to gain broader exposure to our site and build domain authority in our market since we're writing useful and in-depth articles on traveling in our area. Darrell

  @dave-both - that works for locks where you can choose the code (Schlage) and I do that for one property where I have that, but our condos have resort locks so the only way to create a code I can define is manually on the lock. Since I’m remote, I have to use the system software to generate a code. So that’s why I just manually have to edit the email with the correct lock code before setting the send date.

  Hi Jonathan, I've been working this path for a while - and have a longer list of what doesn't work than what does. Regarding owner statements, what do you currently use as an accounting package for your business? If using Quickbooks (as I do) you can generate those statements there. For cleaning and maintenance, I'm currently using an app called Task Meister - evaluating it. It doesn't have the bells and whistles I'd like, but it does keep items from dropping through the cracks and it doesn't cost my first born son. How many properties are you managing? Jenny

  @michelle-clark said in Calendar sharing and a question: where do you find the window 'sych with iCal'? TY Hi @michelle-clark, Here is a tutorial on how to set up calendar syncing with MyVR. This should get you started with the MyVR side of things. You will need to reference the iCal syncing help material for whatever platform you are trying to sync with to complete the other half of the syncing setup. Best, Danny

  Hi @mackenzie-owen , MyVR doesn't currently have a way to edit the rates for multiple properties at once, although that sounds neat! Feel free to submit a feature request for this. Cheers, Danny

  Hi @Jenny-Oest, At MyVR, we strongly believe in being an open platform. We want you to be able to use the property data stored in our product to better market your vacation rentals. As a result, we have a robust API that you can use to get data out of MyVR, including rates. MyVR API - Rates That is how you can get your rates out of MyVR. How to get them into FloridaRentals.com is up to you. Best, Danny

  Hey Jill, Each partner interprets the iCalendar feeds a little differently rather than to the specification. For this reason, we've added some advanced controls to overcome the situation you're experiencing. From your Calendar Export settings for the iCalendar feed in MyVR. You can add or remove days from calendar events so that the feed reflects the differences in how each channel is interpreting the feed. I'm assuming this is for all events sent to TripAdvisor for this calendar. These are the advanced controls I'm referring to: Thanks for the question. Hope that helps.

  Hi John, Great question. This is the default automatic inquiry responder. This will be sent as a response to an inquiry if none of your other inquiry responders should be sent based on their rules. To customize this message, add an inquiry responder to the end of your list that has absolutely no conditions (it always sends if nothing before it sends). Make sure it is on the end of your list, otherwise it will block anything that comes after it. Here is an example of how to set this up. Cheers, Danny

  Hi Chang, We can improve this, but for now you will need to add a restriction for each owner to only send if it is there property: This will require one rule for each owner, unfortunately.

  To make sure this is clear to future readers, "Days Before Check-In" is the number of days before the check-in date. "Hours Before the Check-In" is the number of hours before the check-in time. So, for example, let's say a guest is checking in at 1pm 5/29/2107. Setting 3 for "Days Before Check-In" and 2 for "Hours Before the Check-In" should result in the email being sent out at 11am 5/26/2017. Cheers, Danny

  When do Transactional Emails get sent and how do I change them?

  Hi @John-Phillips217 - good question. I'll focus on Transactional Emails in this response, and then speak to Inquiry Responders in a new thread. To start, for a high-level overview, we have an article and video that covers how message automation works in your MyVR account. At a high-level, Transactional Emails are intended to keep your guest automatically notified of the status of her reservation and associated payments so that you don't have to. So we start you out with a predefined set of notifications that we believe give you coverage, but allow you to change: Whether the message gets sent at all (enabled vs disabled) Whether the message gets sent automatically or just queued for you to manually send later (auto send) The subject line, content, and recipients of each Transactional Email (using our standard message templates) As to when the emails are triggered and sent, generally, immediately upon the defined 'trigger' taking place. For example, if a guest makes a payment, we immediately fire the Reservation Payment email. The main exceptions are the two Reservation Payment Due emails (one for when automatic payment collection is turned on, one for when it is off); those two emails will be queued up to fire the day before the payment is due, and you can see them in your Outbox or in the Timeline > Future view for any specific reservation. Hope that helps! (p.s. slightly modified your post's title for future searches)

  @Olivier-Chaine - you'd want a separate email for each property GROUP. You could then have a custom field that specified the details that varied by property within each group. Remember that a custom field isn't restricted to just a few words - it might be a whole paragraph of instructions! Hope that helps!

  Making property active through API

  Hi @michael-monu, It is not possible to activate properties via API; we require users to activate properties in the MyVR app. This is because activating properties often requires MyVR users to purchase additional property licenses. If properties could be activated via API, it would be too easy to accidentally purchase additional property licenses without realizing that additional charges are being added to one's account. In other words, we do not allow the purchase of property licenses via API to avoid accidental, automatic purchases. Cheers, Danny
