Just a reminder that your 2021 Christmas and NYE dates will be open and bookable, given the 365 rolling date range. If you haven't looked at your Dec rates and restrictions already, please do so. 

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. 

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.

There is a new grant available to help businesses affected by COVID. This is different from the adaptation grant released earlier this year. 

The COVID-19 International Tourism Adaptation Grant - Queensland’s tourism businesses will be supported to pivot to a domestic market or hibernate until international markets reopen.

Grants from a minimum of $2,000 to a maximum of $10,000 (excluding GST) are available to tourism businesses in regional Queensland who can demonstrate they have suffered losses of income because of the international travel restrictions.

The key objectives of the COVID-19 International Tourism Adaptation Grant program are to assist tourism businesses to:

• Pivot their product, service and/or marketing to a domestic tourism market
• Meet operating costs while the business hibernates until international markets reopen.

Regional Queensland in this case includes GC and Sunshine Coast. Headquarters be located in Queensland and operate outside of the Brisbane City Council, Redlands City Council, Logan City Council, Ipswich City Council and Moreton Bay Regional Council boundaries

You are ineligible if you received funding through the Small Business Adaption Grant from the Queensland Government

New incident: Identified

CBA are making changes to the Netbank portal, which is causing increased numbers of jobs to fail on the transactions step.

We believe that these changes will result in much improved performance for Basiq connections - but for the next few days while CBA finalise the changes and Basiq update the connector to handle the new website, there are likely to be increased numbers of jobs failing.

Recommended action: if a job fails with a service-unavailable error, wait a while and then refresh the connection again. If after a few retries the error does not clear, please report the connection ID to Basiq for us to investigate. This is our general advice for service-unavailable errors.

Please reach out to support@resly.com.au with any questions, problems or concerns.

We will update this notice with progress.

For all new bookings from 9.30pm on Thursday 5th Nov, credit card details will automatically be sent into the secure card vault in Resly at the time of booking. 

You will not have to retrieve the card details from Resly Connect.
