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

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.

Hey Resly users!

We’re excited to announce an update to our Reservation List feature. Now, you’ll have the ability to send bulk emails to your customers with ease.

Sending emails to multiple customers has never been easier. No longer do you need to write individual emails to each customer. Now, you can create a bulk email in one go and send out all the emails at the same time.

Please also note that the maximum number of recipients is set to 100. If larger then an alert will pop up to prompt you to choose another filter.

We hope this update makes it easier for you to manage your reservations and communicate with your customers. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or feedback.

The Resly Team

Hey everyone!

We're excited to announce an update to the owners balance summary report. This report has been improved to allow you to show accounts summary grouped by code and to download the data in CSV format.

We know that our customers value the data they get from Resly and want to be able to quickly make sense of it. That's why we've made it easier for you to gain insights into your accounts summary with this new update.

If you have any questions or feedback about this update, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We value your input and are always looking for ways to improve our product.

Thanks for using Resly!

Hey Resly users! We’re excited to share with you we did some improvements to the room tasks tab!

We know that keeping track of tasks can be time-consuming and downright confusing. With the Todo Tab Update, we’ve made it easier than ever to keep your tasks organized. Now you can search tasks by description and assignee on the room detail page - tasks.

Plus, we’ve gone a step further. All completed tasks are now hidden by default, so you can quickly find the tasks that need your attention first. This should make it faster and simpler to stay on top of all the tasks you need to accomplish.

We hope this makes your experience with Resly even better. We’re always listening to your feedback and looking to improve, so please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to make your life easier. Thank you for being a part of the Resly family!

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 everyone!

We've made a small improvement to Resly – you can now set the deposit amount based on number of nights, i.e Deposit amount is equal to 1 night.  

To set this up, go to Settings - General - Finance - Invoice and change the Default Amount toggle to N, and then enter the number of nights you want.

We have also added an alert on the reservation detail page, if the deposit amount/due date or balance due date is overridden, it will show a yellow colour. You can also click the X button to remove it.

Hi there!

We've recently made some improvements to Resly, and we're excited to share them with you.

One of the things you can now do is search on the cashbook page. This can be really helpful if you're looking for a specific reference, payer/payee, description, payment method, card type, or amount.

We hope you find this helpful! As always, let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

We're excited to announce a new update to Resly! You can now see a teal-blue background colour on the Rate Plan page. This change will help you quickly and easily identify the dates that are (1) CTA on (2) CTD on (3) Individual channel stop sell on. 

As always, our team is committed to providing you with the best possible experience. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

The Resly team is excited to announce a new improvement to the dashboard page! You can now search for reservations by guest name, room number, room type, reference number and agent name using the search bar.
