WHAT'S NEW @ TOKEET: OCTOBER 3, 2018

Welcome to another installation of the "What's New @ Tokeet" changelog. This week, we have an announcement for the future plans of SMS integration in the Tokeet and Automata apps. We also have another group of updates and fixes that will improve the performance of the apps.

  • It was a very difficult decision to make, but we feel that this is the right choice for the future. We have now announced our future plans for SMS integration in the Tokeet suite of applications. SMS will only be available in the Automata app, and the functionality has been expanded. Please take a moment to read the announcement below:

    Hi everyone,


    Thanks to all of you for making the Automata beta a success. We are truly excited about its full launch and upcoming features. Now that Automata is fully up and running, as of November 1st, SMS automation will be exclusively available in Automata. SMS will no longer be a feature offered in the core Tokeet product.

    Since we introduced SMS in Tokeet about a year ago it has grown to be a very popular feature with over 100K SMS messages sent each month. This number has been increasing rapidly in the past few months without abatement. Due to this rising cost we are now forced to remove SMS from the base product in an effort to keep cost and prices down.


    If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact our support team.

    Tokeet Team
    support@tokeet.com

  • We would like to provide a polite reminder that users who were trialing the Automata and Signature applications will now have to subscribe to the services in order to continue their use.

    Automata and Signature are now out of beta. This means that you must subscribe to these products to continue using them. As of September 24th you must have a subscription to Automata/Signature in order to login to these applications. As of October 1st Automata will stop processing triggers for accounts without subscriptions.


    None of your data or triggers will be deleted from Automata or Signature. There is ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT to regular Tokeet triggers, Tokeet Contracts, or Tokeet. This announcement is exclusively regarding Automata and Signature.


    If you have previously setup Automata and wish to continue using it simply subscribe to a plan. Go to the My Billing Info page within your Tokeet account and activate your desired subscription.


  • We have introduced a custom implementation program for new user accounts.
  • We have made a number of updates and bug fixes this past week, including:
Tokeet

Fixed: [Channels] Booking and hold event modifications were delayed while pushing to AirBnB.

Fixed: [Channels] When trying to book open dates on AirBnB, some guests were receiving an error that the dates are no longer available.

Fixed: [Billing Info] Typo in the Activate Subscription modal said "Shall be proceed?" instead of "Shall we proceed?"


Automata

Fixed: [Triggers] Booking confirmed triggers were firing multiple times for some guest bookings.



Signature

Updated: [Owner Login] Owners now have access to the app, with a customized dashboard. They can save their password to the account so that it is auto-filled on contracts.

Updated: [Dashboard] Cleaned up the filter layout in the activity table.

Fixed: [All] Alphabetical sort was case-sensitive.

Fixed: [Login] Username and password icons were not loading until the field was clicked.

Fixed: [Dashboard] Sort by recipient was not working correctly.

Fixed: [Forms] Submitting a guest form was returning the error "Something went wrong."

TOKEET VERSION 3 - WHAT TO EXPECT



Since the announcement of the upcoming release of Tokeet version 3 there has been a lot of excitement and some anxiety regarding the proposed changes to the product. Please allow me to shed some light on the coming release process.

1. The new version of Tokeet (version 3) will not be released until Q4. This means that nothing is happening immediately and you can continue to enjoy version 2 until then.

2. There will be an open beta release of version 3 for about a month. Users will be able to login to either version 2 or version 3 as they like. This will allow everyone to get used to the new version, provide feedback, and decide if they like it.

3. Once the open beta period is complete, users with monthly plans will be upgraded to version 3 automatically. Users with yearly plans will have the option of sticking with version 2 for the remainder of their subscription period, or upgrading to version 3. There are a few things to note regarding this choice.

 - We will continue to support those users on version 2 as we do now.

 - We will discontinue active development of version 2. So there wouldn’t be anymore bug fixes, upgrades, etc.

 - Yearly plan users who stay with version 2 will not be able to login to version 3.

 - Version 2 users may upgrade to version 3 at anytime prior to the end of their subscription period.

 - Version 2 users will be able to subscribe to any of the upcoming add-on products.

 - We will set a permanent discontinuation date for version 2 sometime in 2019.

 

4. We will not be decreasing rate management in version 3. In fact, we plan to release a much simpler rate management solution. The core feature offerings of version 3 will remain the same as version 2 unless otherwise announced.

We’re confident that once users see and experience version 3 they will instantly prefer it to version 2. We’re happy to answer anymore questions about the upcoming version 3 here on this thread.

Thanks for being a Tokeet user.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW AIRBNB API

The new Airbnb API is a faster, more reliable connection to Airbnb than our previous API connection. However, this new connection does have some important differences and noteworthy features. All of these differences are requirements of Airbnb or limitations of their new API, to which Tokeet must adhere. Below is a list of things to note when connecting to the new API.

  • Listings connected to Airbnb using their new API will be made instant bookable. This is done by Airbnb and cannot be undone in Tokeet or on Airbnb.
  • Listings connected to the new API must meet Airbnb's content listing criteria. The specific criteria are detailed below. Any listing not meeting these criteria will be automatically delisted by Airbnb until they are updated to meet the criteria.
  • Cohosted listings are officially unsupported by the new Airbnb API. Tokeet does allow cohosted listings to connect via the new API and many of the connection features will work. However, we encourage users with cohosted listings to add their Tokeet rental's iCal URL to the Airbnb listing in the Airbnb dashboard to ensure availability is constantly updated. 
  • Listings connected prior to August 9th may have suffered a lapse in synchronization. This is due to an update released by Airbnb which now requires a synchronization setting for each listing. Tokeet is now automatically updating listings with this setting. Listings that are either cohosted or do not meet the content requirements will be automatically rejected by Airbnb.
  • Once a listing is connected to Tokeet, pricing and availability settings will no longer be accessible in Airbnb. These settings must be updated in Tokeet.
  • User may choose to sync only rates and availability via Tokeet or sync their entire listing content (Full Synchronization). By default Tokeet connects to your Airbnb listings with rates and availability sync. This allows Tokeet to perform all required actions like pushing rates, pushing availability, sending and receiving messages, and importing bookings. You may switch to Full Synchronization from within the connection details in Tokeet. Please note that if you choose Full Synchronizationyou will no longer be able to update your listing's rates, availability, or content in your Airbnb dashboard and will be required to do so via Tokeet.
  • Guest requirements are removed from listings connected to any channel manager via the new Airbnb API. There is no way to add these requirements back. This is done automatically by Airbnb.
  • Dates directly blocked on Airbnb will not be imported into Tokeet with the new Airbnb API. Users are encouraged to directly block dates in their Tokeet calendar to ensure all connected channels are updated accordingly.
Airbnb Listing Content Requirements
Airbnb will automatically disable listings that do not meet the following minimum content requirements.
  • Title - At least 8 characters in the listing title
  • Description - At least 50 characters in the listing description field
  • Photos - At least 7 photos, including 3 with high-resolution (800x500 pixels) 
  • Amenities - At least 5 amenities
