Airbnb does not make guests' real emails available at all. You cannot see them in your Airbnb control panel yourself, so Channel Bridge cannot get them either. What is available, is a proxy email a…

General Help and Questions » Security deposit - is it possible for the amount charged to vary?

Yes! You can do that in the Rules tab of a specific Booking or Quote.

Feature Requests » Add columns to detailed payment report

We have a plan to allow adding extra columns to reports. There are a number of places where that would be very useful. No specific schedule for that, alas.

Feature Requests » Text notifications for bookings

Unfortunately, not at present. That was scheduled for this summer, until everyone's schedule got thrown all over. It's still on the development list though.

General Help and Questions » Security deposit - is it possible for the amount charged to vary?

Unfortunately, at present we do not have the ability for your security deposit to vary for the same property at different seasons. We've occasionally had people ask for this, but it's rare.

General Help and Questions » Will someone Zoom with me to set up emails?

The whole message system was supposed to get a significant overhaul this summer, until everyone's schedule got all knocked out of kilter. We do, however, have new resources working on doing training…

General Chat » cancellation on owner statement

Alas - you can't. We didn't think of that before this all happened and now it's too late. :-( You may be able to dig through your old emails and find the notifications that were sent to you when t…

In effect you just did - anyone who finds it while searching for the same question, will now know the answer and that it worked for you. :-)

Feature Requests » Add ability to attach screenshots in the forums

We've long planned to overhaul our forums, but every time we get close, something happens that forces us to concentrate on other things. :-(

Feature Requests » Add time of day to email send trigger

This is a longstanding and well-known need. It had been our hope to add this capability later this year, but right now we are having to emphasize immediate functions that help our clients deal with…

Feature Requests » Owner Statements

That's a good idea, but it would be a fairly significant change. It may come along down the road a bit though.

General Help and Questions » Booking Rules

There isn't any way to require *no* upfront payment for a booking. However, you can alter the percentage of the payment required under the Rules of the quote, and make it very small - say, 1%. That…
