Guest Profile Update

Guest profiles will now show in the main search results and are not managed in their own tab. Just search as you would in the search bar and Resly will return both reservations and profiles that match. 

Guest Profiles are at the top and marked with a star. Click on the guest name to view their profile. 

When creating a booking, as you start typing in the guest name, Resly will suggest guest profiles that match. Select the profile to link it to the booking. 


Only one week left to upgrade your website link to Resly Direct+

How to add Resly Direct+ to your website? All Resly managed websites will have the new booking engine pushed live COB Monday. If you are not using a Resly Website, you will need to contact your web developer to get the Resly link updated. Instructions can be found here. 

Of course we welcome feedback both positive and constructive, feature ideas are also encouraged. Please email them to support@resly.com.au..

Manage Group Reservation Is Easier Now

What is a group reservation?

Resly treats all reservations with the same agent reference as a group reservation. 

You can edit the agent reference by clicking the Agent on the left pane of the reservation detail page.

You will see a "Group Booking" tag if there are other reservations with the same agent reference. Click this tag and it will show you all the reservations in this group.


Create payment for group reservations

You can pay the group reservation by clicking into the group booking tag and then click "Add Receipt" on the top right.

 

Create a group invoice

You can create a group invoice by clicking into the group booking tag and then click "Add Invoice" on the top right.


Increased Search Fields

Multiple new search fields in Resly. 

Tenancy list (search by tenant name, room name)

Finance accounts list (search by name, mobile, email)

Service/Housekeeping Tasks Rules

We have pushed a few new features which allows for certain rules and overrides when generating a service clean task. 

Min Length. If you clean every 4 nights but only for bookings over 7 nights, you can set the Min Length to 7 and it will exclude 4, 5 & 6 night bookings. 

Exclude Check In Day If you clean every 4 nights and a booking is 8 nights, it will only include one service clean because the first night is not counted. 

Rate Plan Override. If you have a rate plan that doesn't require a service clean (owner stay, carpark, marina berth etc) you can add an override which will tell Resly not to generate a service clean.  

Housekeeping Tasks. Resly will now look at rate plan first, if there are any overrides active, it will use the settings in the rate plan. Otherwise, it will use the property settings in Settings - General - Housekeeping. 

It is probably best to email support@resly.com.au and get us to help with the set up. 

Improvements - Owner Statements

You can chose to share a list of departed reservations that are yet to be paid and disbursed to the owners. 

  • Settings > General > Charges > Invoice. Make your selection down the bottom next to Owing Reservations and click save. Example of what will show on the owners statement below. 

Improvements - Room Details

New 'Rooms' tab in owners account. Finance > Accounts 

Will display an occupancy grid of when the room is available or not. Also displays departed reservations that are yet to be paid.
