Use of {BCHECKIN} and {BCHECKOUT}
Jul 13, 2019 4:27 PM
I've seen various results using this custom field, sometimes with the at xx:yy PM and sometimes without. Am I using the wrong field? I would like the actual time to always be presented in the email. My template: Results from the last three time the automated email was sent Arrival: Thursday Jul 11, 2019 at Early Check-in at 12:00 PM Arrival: Saturday Jul 13, 2019 at Standard Check-in at 4:00 PM |

To put a value in there always, go to the Rules section of the property and set the default check-in and check-out times. Those merge fields look at the times set on booking, and if a time isn't set on the booking they fall back to the property. If no time is set on the property, then it'll say "Standard". As long as you've got a time on the property it will show that instead of "Standard". Also note the field you're using does include the "early check-in" language if applicable where the booking time is different from the property time. If you're using that field you may want to rearrange it a bit so the sentence reads better, like: {BCHECKIN} on {BARRDAY} {BARR} which would show Early Check-in at 12:00 PM on Thursday Jul 11, 2019 Or else if you always want the time and don't want to denote early/late here use the {BCHECKINTIME} and {BCHECKOUTTIME} fields which only show the time. |
