The Resly team will be operating with skeleton staff over the festive season while we spend time with our families and recharge! 💪

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.

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.

We are looking for some clients to test our exciting new integration with Xero! 

Our Xero integration will automate the breakdown of the managers income in Xero. After EOM has been rolled, Resly will create an invoice in Xero based on the managers income summary, including a breakdown of all the account codes and amounts. 

As a Beta/test property, you will be the first to use this integration. We will need to conduct a 30 minute session on TeamViewer, during which we will do the following; 

• Connect your Xero account to Resly
• Complete account code mapping between Xero and Resly
• Send some sample reports to Xero, these will be deleted after the call
• Run some checks to make sure the connection is successful

If you are interested in taking part, please email support@resly.com.au with the subject Xero Beta Property.
