would be nice to have subject lines that could include booking dates, I think it would help bring attention (and increase readability) of emails I send to guests.

While at it I'd love to have a 'days since booking' field too, so I could have a subject line of 'Your rental agreement has been unsigned for NN days' which would also help with response rates I would think.

We do support booking dates as field codes, and also custom fields in email subject lines, those are used regularly. Can you send in a helpdesk request so we can take a look at exactly what you are trying to do and see what the trouble is?

Interesting idea about "days since booked".

I was dumb ;-) I assumed that the insert fields only worked in the email body, but after checking again I realized I can just copy/paste whatever field code I like into the subject line. Sorry for false alarm, but maybe a good reminder to others that codes within { }'s will be replaced even if they are in the subject line.
