VRBO have been notified by a number of partners they are receiving spam inquiries asking to pre-approve bookings when they are set to instant book.

We ask that you please don't engage with these types of inquiries.

The requests are normally for only 1 guest and have messages similar to the ones shown here:

If you receive an inquiry that looks suspicious, please forward it to VRBO's automated processing system at: spoof@vrbo.com.

You can also follow the below instructions to mark these as spam:

Login to your Vrbo Account

1. Select Inbox
2. Select the filter and change it to Enquiries
3. Mark the spam inquiries and select Actions
4. Select Mark as Spam

This will remove the enquiry and stop the guest from contacting you again.

📱️Introducing Premium SMS

Upgrading to premium SMS will allow you to bulk send & automate messages, as well as give you the option to receive SMS replies (2-way messaging).

This is a paid feature, which means SMS messages that are sent from your account will be charged and billed to you. 

With Premium SMS you can:

• Send bulk SMS messages from the Dashboard Arrivals/Departures/In House/New Bookings, Reservation List, Tenancy List and Account List including owners. 
• Automate SMS messages just like you can with email templates.
• Send SMS messages of any length. 
• Receive replies in Resly (will attach to the booking as well as alert via the bell icon). Requires an allocated number. 

Premium SMS is invoiced monthly on or around the 8th day of each month in AUD dollars. Example of the pricing below:

A dedicated Australian mobile number is required to receive SMS replies. Validated as spam‑free. $7.50 (USD) Per Number, Per Month.

If you would like to activate Premium SMS, please send an email to support@resly.com.au. Please advise us if you require 2-way messaging as we will need to allocate you a dedicated phone number. We can then send you a Premium SMS Addendum for signing.

Once we receive a signed addendum back, we will activate the premium SMS feature for your building.

Jobs not progressing past "in-progress"

Incident status: Monitoring

Thank you for your patience. Basiq have released a fix for the issue and are monitoring.

We will update you on root cause and any other actions needed.

Time posted

Dec 8, 11:30 AEDT

New incident: Investigating

Jobs are currently hanging on "in-progress" status on the "retrieve-transactions" step. Issue affects all data retrieval jobs.

The retrieve-accounts step is completing as normal and you will be able to fetch account-level data as normal; however, new transactions data will not be available.

We are investigating and will have an update shortly.

To help speed up the account verification process when calling Resly support, you will now be prompted to share a 4 digit account pin. 

Your account pin is unique to your user and is regenerated throughout the week. 

To find your account pin, click on the drop-down menu on the right hand side, next to your property name and logo. You should see a 4 digit pin next to your user name. 

If the caller is unable to provide the correct account pin, our support team will not be able to verify the caller and therefore unable to provide support.

Hey there!

We're excited to announce a new feature for RESLY DIRECT+

By default, all properties are currently bookable for 12 months.
You can change this by going to - Resly Direct+ > General > Rates & Availability > Default Bookable Months.

When the guest has put in a date too far, they will get an alert message.

Stay tuned as this feature is coming soon to Resly Connect+
