During the shortest month of the year, we managed to ship two new features: Accounts and Instant booking settings for packages. We also have a new sneak peek to share.
Summary
February is behind, and we have the pleasure of saying that we've released not one but two new features: Accounts and Instant booking settings for packages. We're also working on a new, prominent feature: Group bookings. There's plenty to be excited about, so let's jump into the details!
Accounts
The brand-new accounts feature will make it easy to connect corporate bookers to a specific account for billing purposes. Our system will automatically generate an account for each corporate booking. On the accounts page, you can:
- Create a new account
- Edit accounts
- Search for accounts
- Bulk import accounts with a CSV file
Thanks to our crazy-talented developers, the editing experience should feel super snappy with our new, shiny drawer component.
Go ahead and give it a spin – we're confident you'll enjoy it!
Instant settings for packages
Last month, we showed a sneak peek of the new instant settings for packages. We're happy to say we've released the feature, allowing you to set minimum package lead times. For more information, check our knowledge base article.
Bug fixes and improvements
As usual, we invested time and effort to fix bugs and improve existing features. Without further ado, here are some fixes worth mentioning:
- To prevent regressions, we double-improved our testing game with a new unit testing tool and an end-to-end test suite for our booking flows.
- Some placeholders and error messages needed polishing on our sign-up page. So we did what any true Karate kid fan would: wax on, wax off! And just like that, we solved the issue.
- In our catalogue item table, some reckless column headers had found themselves in the wrong column. We disciplined the headers, and from now on, they promised to stay where they should be. Headers, we keep an eye on you.
Sneak peek 🫣
We're glad to say we've started working on a significant new feature: group booking. This feature will allow venues and chains to accept group requests. The work has been split into phases: in the first phase, we plan to include multi-venue requests with multi-day and multi-room content. While it's too early to provide a release schedule, we expect to get something live in the first half of the year. Stay tuned for updates!
That's it for this month! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to discuss anything related to these updates or our service in general.
See you in the next update!
