Agoda Outage

We have encountered an error while posting updates to Agoda YCS. 

Updates are not passing through and we are receiving an error saying, - "Authentication failed: The supplied authentication is invalid" from Agoda.

We have checked the details on our side and issue tends to be at Agoda's end. We raised the issue overnight and are working with Agoda to get the connection live again. 

Agoda should be managed via their extranet manually until the connection is back.

Streamline Easter Arrivals - Set up online check-in

A friendly reminder about online check-in, to help with what looks to be a busy Easter period. To speed up your check-in process and provide a seamless guest experience we suggest you utilise our online check-in feature. 

Online check-in will capture the guests arrival time and drivers licence (or passport) and attach it to their booking in Resly. The guest also has to accept your terms of stay and complete a COVID declaration.  

Here is the article to walk you through the set up.

Average Charges Report

Some of you might find these stats interesting. The average cleaning and commission charges for the Sunshine Coast and TNQ. As we continue to expand we will hopefully have more data points to look at and share. 


Collecting, storing and providing details for COVID tracing

With the recent announcement to ban paper check-ins, we would like to remind users how to utilise Resly for capturing and storing information should you need to provide it to relevant authorities. 

Encourage guest to use online check-in. This process will capture the lead guests' ID and store it against their booking in Resly. It will also validate their email or mobile number to ensure their contact details are correct. A standard COVID declaration is required to be completed during the online check-in process. 

All details captured from online check-in are stored against the guests booking in Resly. 

Providing details to authorities. Go to Reservations > Reservations List > and simply export a CVS file selecting all the required information.

If any guests are unreachable or their details are incorrect, you have a copy of their ID on the profile which you can share with authorities. 

 

If you haven't set up online check-in yet, please read this article. Once activated, you can create a dummy booking with your own contact details (mobile number and email) and test it. 

Updating rates and restrictions

A friendly reminder that rates and restrictions should be updated in Resly PMS, not in Resly Connect. 

Rule of thumb - Resly PMS should be the source of truth. 

Bulk update - Best for updating multiple rate plans for a bulk period of dates.

Yearly view - Best for updating a single rate plan based on season dates or for a full year. 

Changes to single dates can be made below in the rate plan by just clicking on the date and overriding the value. 

Border announcement - check your rates

NSW <> QLD borders are due to open on 1st Dec. Please check your rates to make sure everything is correct and ready for the interstate travellers. 

- Check what promotions and rates you have on your OTAs, can you increase these to utilise the new demand?

- Update your promo banner on Direct, maybe include a welcome message with a NSW targeted coupon? 

- Maximise availability on your grid - move bookings around to reduce short gaps between bookings. 

- Activate online/mobile check-in with Resly - COVID Safe
