When a potential guest calls or sends a message enquiring about availability, speed and simplicity are everything. You shouldn't have to navigate through multiple menus just to generate a quick quote or lock in a new reservation.
Our new Calendar Quick Action feature on the Online Calendar lets you create quotes and add bookings directly from your calendar grid in seconds. Whether you are working at your desk on a computer or managing your property on the go from a smartphone or tablet, taking action on requested dates is now smoother than ever.
What can you do with Quick Actions?
With the Quick Action pop-up menu, you can instantly perform two key tasks right from your selected dates:
- Generate a quote: Provide prospective guests with instant rate figures while they're on the line.
- Add a booking: Reserve rooms on the spot to secure confirmed stays without delay.
How to use Quick Actions on your computer
If you are using a desktop or laptop web browser, creating a quote or adding a booking takes just a couple of clicks:
- Select your dates: On your Online Calendar grid, locate the appropriate room. Click on the guest's start date and drag your cursor across to their end date.
- Release and right-click: Once you let go of the mouse click, right-click on the highlighted date range.
- Choose your action: A pop-up menu will appear, giving you the option to right-click and select either Quote or Book to add the reservation.
Need multiple rooms? No problem!
Whether a family is booking two adjacent cottages or a group needs several apartments for the exact same stay dates, you don't have to create separate quotes or reservations one by one.
Our Quick Action feature on the Online Calendar lets you select multiple rooms at once, making it quick and easy to quote or book them all in a single step.
How to use Quick Actions on your mobile device
Checking your calendar while away from your desk? Quick Actions work great on touchscreens too:
- Tap and drag: Open your Online Calendar on your smartphone or tablet. Tap and hold the start date for the desired room, then drag across to the end date.
- Release to open: As soon as you let go of your selection, the Quick Action pop-up will open automatically on your screen.
- Select Quote or Book: Simply tap either Quote or Book to complete your task.
