When we confirm a connection request Booking.com deletes the properties prices and availability and expects the prices and availability to be sent from the channel manager.  Since we can not know if a property is ready this can result in properties being closed at Booking.com.  '''What changes?''' The change we have made allows you to activate the connection yourself when you are ready.  '''What happens if I am already connected?''' Nothing. The change only applies to new connections.  The instructions for the [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title=Booking.com:_Synchronise_bookings_prices_availability mapping] and for the [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title=Booking.com:_Import_Properties_from_Booking.com_to_Beds24 property import] have been updated. All implemented and next planned changes are documented [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title=Control_Panel_Change_Log here]. 10th April 2024 ----'''<span style="color:#019cde;“ >{{#fas:external-link-square-alt}} </span> Download Beds24 Mobile App Version 3 ''' *Bookings now display more information:**Info Items**Custom Booking Questions**Group booking information**Time of booking*Improved search function allows the search for arrivals, departures and current bookings by date*Booking text fields can not be copied to the clipboard For IOS: Search for Beds24 or use this link: https://apps.apple.com/app/beds24/id1637083171 For Android: Search for Beds24 or use this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beds24 2nd April 2024 ----'''<span style="color:#7bcbed;“ >{{#fas:plus-square}} </span>Messaging integration with Expedia Group (Beta)''' As an Expedia Elite partner Beds24 was granted early access to Expedias new messaging API.  You can now conveniently communicate with guests who booked via Expedia from the booking in Beds24.

The change will go live shortly. Some help pages have already been updated, the rest will follow shortly. If you see any place where the term "Rates" is used by the end of this week please let us know.  Why we want to do this: Many customers starting with Beds24 confuse what we call rates with channel rate plans. Using the terms "Daily Prices" for dynamic prices and "fixed prices" for prices which have a start and an end date should stop this.  In terms of functionalty nothing will change.  All implemented and next planned changes are documented [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title=Control_Panel_Change_Log here]. 8th January 2024 ---- '''<span style="color:#019cde;“ >{{#fas:external-link-square-alt}} </span> Changes to the control panel''' We are working on improving usability and workflows.
