ACCOUNT ERROR LOG

Tokeet is growing, YES! However this means we are spending more time helping our customers with issues which may arise. It is critical that we are able to scale efficiently during this growth phase while still helping our users and adding awesome new features. The root cause of many of the problems that customers face are normally buried within our log files and we spend a significant amount of time digging them out. These errors typically occur offline when Tokeet is performing some action on your behalf. For example, when syncing your channels, automatically pushing rates, or processing a new booking. These are very important tasks which happen multiple times per second for the average account and we must keep on top of them.

Time spent unearthing these issues is bad for both us and our users. So we were determined to create a solution where our users can easily discover any issues on their own and we can quickly solve complex problems without digging through log files. With this in mind we have added a new feed to the Tokeet web application. The Account Error Log displays all account level errors from Tokeet in an easy to read format. In addition, we will also be sending this feed to your mobile device with the upcoming release of our new mobile application. Please check these logs often so you're immediately aware if anything goes wrong.

AUTOMATICALLY SAVE BOOKING.COM AND EXPEDIA PAYMENT DETAILS

Hey everyone, happy new year! We've been hard at work making changes to Tokeet's payment processing and billings components. We have some big plans and lots of development in the works so stay tuned. Today I am excited to release the first step in our plan. Tokeet now automatically saves your guest's billing details from Booking.com and Expedia to your connected payment gateway. We currently only support Stripe, but this too will change in the near future.

So now when a guest enters their credit card details when booking on Booking.com and Expedia Tokeet saves this information into Stripe for future use. You may automatically charge this card from any invoice using the new 'Pay with saved card' button located directly in the invoice. You never have to leave Tokeet to charge your guests and you may issue new charges for additional invoices directly from Tokeet.


We plan to enable this feature for every new payment gateway which we integrate into Tokeet. If you have a preferred payment gateway please let me know so we may consider it for integration.


MESSAGE CHARACTER ENCODING

If you've been seeing some illegible characters in your messages then rest assured we're working on resolving these. It's been an annoying issue that pops up every now and then as we try to manage encoding across all the message mediums.

The issue is that Tokeet was built to be multi-language. As such it must be able to handle all UTF-8 characters across the various languages. This seems simple, however as your message moves from the DB to the API and then out to the various channels (Email, SMS, Airbnb, Booking.com, etc) we must change encodings, strip some encodings, translate from UTF-8 to HTML encodings, from language-specific unicode to other forms, and so forth. This has resulted in a whack-a-mole type issue where we are constantly finding new, unhandled scenarios.

Please hang in there with us as we try to get this correct.

AN IMPROVED MULTI CALENDAR



Today the team released a new version of the multi calendar which we rebuilt from scratch. We built the new calendar to look almost exactly like the original, but it was rebuilt with large accounts in mind. Here are some key features of the new calendar:
  • The new calendar handles large datasets much better, i.e. faster loads, quicker transitions, better rendering. 
  • It is much, much faster than the original calendar.
  • It allows for changing the number of rows displayed in the table.
  • It has pagination so you can see all your rentals.
  • It has fast searching that responds quickly across hundreds of rentals.
We took the time and resources to rebuild this calendar to demonstrate our commitment to our large clients. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know if you see anything that's wrong. As you know we're always ready and willing to fix any issue.

SEARCH AND FILTER ON CHANNEL DETAILS

We've just added search and filter functionality to the Channel Details page. For those users who have lots of connections in any single channel you can now search for your connection via the channel property name. You may also filter linked and unlinked connections so you can find those new properties and get them linked quickly.

RENTAL RATES FILTER

We've added a filter to the rental rates so that you may select to show rates of a specific category only. This helps if you have lots of rates and want to edit a set category. The filter will hide rates from any other category which leaves you with a cleaner and less confusing table to manage.
