FYI from our integration partner Basiq

Update Friday - ANZ bank feed should now be working. Transactions are flowing in. 

If you still can't see them, please go to Settings > Integration > Bank Feed and disconnect. Then reconnect. 

You have to follow all the steps. Enter mobile number press start. A new tab will open for you to log into your bank, follow the prompts until you get a green tick. Then come back into Resly and select the trust account from the drop-down menu. 

Update Wednesday - The ANZ connector has been stable since we updated it yesterday to handle the website overhaul; however, there are some outstanding edge cases that the team are still working through.

As a result, you may see occasional jobs failing more than normal for a small subset of users, and we are working through those edge cases as fast as we can. However, the large majority of jobs are succeeding and we recommend that you use the connector as normal.

We will monitor for another day while we work through the remaining exceptions and will update this incident tomorrow morning if not before.

Monitoring - We have updated code and will monitor for 24 hours. For now, we believe this issue is resolved.

Identified - ANZ jobs are currently failing with an error, "account-not-accessible-requires-user-action". This error indicates that a popup is blocking us from proceeding with the data retrieval.

The popup in this case reads:
"We have updated Internet Banking to give you a fresh new look and consistent experience. We have retained all your favourite features and functionality. To learn more about these exciting changes, click on the 'What's New' button at the top of the page once you have logged in."

Unfortunately, clearing the popup does not "unblock" the connection in this case: the bank has made changes to their internet banking portal and we need to update our code to handle this change.

Our engineers are working on this right now; we will keep you updated.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. You can now easily extend or upgrade a booking. 

You will now see a new drop-down menu in a guests booking. 

Extension/upgrade - use this to process an upgrade or extend a booking. You can select a different agent from the one that originally made the booking. So a guest that may have booked through booking.com wants to extend their stay directly with you, by selecting agent as 'direct' the cost of the extension won't be included in the booking.com commission calculation. 

Please see this announcement from Booking.com regarding an ongoing issue.

Some bookings from yesterday were not received until the early hours of this morning. We are still occasionally getting error responses from their servers.

The new housekeeping report will focus more on the incoming guests, rather than the departing ones. You will see the booking details, housekeeping notes, bedding configuration. If it's a back to back clean, you will also see a red tag on the report so your cleaners can prioritise.

You can now bulk update your housekeeping tasks. Select multiple tasks and you will see "Bulk Update" floating on the bottom. You can mark them all as done, assign them to a housekeeper or change the due date. 

You will need to set up your bedding configurations (article here: https://resly.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050078792)  

Once set up, you can choose a bedding config for each booking, this will show on the housekeeping report. Great for lock-off rooms where your cleaners need to know how to prepare the room. 

We have updated our EOM guide. Please refer to this and try to prepare for EOM.
