October 2026
40 updates
October's first week made Rentibly AI far more capable. It can now change prices, send guest replies you approve, turn bills into operations, run your marketing and build business review presentations. Door access, automations and website chat got big upgrades too.
When Rentibly AI drafts a reply on WhatsApp, Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, tell it to send and a card shows exactly what goes to whom, on which channel. It follows each channel's rules, offering your approved WhatsApp templates when the 24-hour window has closed. You can also send one announcement to all guests staying now, arriving or leaving, each on their own channel.
Ask "raise prices 15% on every 2-bedroom for the race weekend" or "close check-in on 31 December", and the card shows what guests will pay per night before and after. Rentibly AI can also set up and publish channel promotions, create and rename rate plans, and find short gaps between bookings that no guest can book, then open them with Gap nights.
Add photos and PDFs to Rentibly AI with the paperclip. It reads the amount, dates and account number, and can turn up to 30 paid bills into operations or expenses at once, matching each one to the right apartment and attaching the file. Bills it can't match are listed for you, never guessed.
Ask for a business review for any period, such as "prepare our Q3 business review", tick the sections you want and download a PowerPoint with editable charts plus a PDF. Every number comes from your Reports. You can tailor it to a team, for example reservations or guest services, and it builds in the background while you keep working.
Ask Rentibly AI to "email our past guests a 15% summer offer" or build "a 3-email win-back for guests who checked out". It writes the emails, picks the audience, builds segments and lists, and shows how many opted-in contacts will actually receive it. It can also write WhatsApp marketing templates, including image headers, buttons and property carousels. Everything stays a draft until you send or activate it.
Tap the mic and your words appear as you speak, in English or Arabic, ready to check before you send. Any change made through Rentibly AI can be undone within 7 days, and you can save the questions you ask most, for yourself or your whole team.
Settings → Integrations → Door access now shows every lock brand and Keyless on one page: what needs your attention, the week ahead and a full history of every code and key. You get alerts when a code doesn't go through, a battery is low or a lock goes offline. Door codes and Keyless keys now follow the booking automatically when it moves, changes or is cancelled on any channel.
Limit an automation with Only when… conditions, such as only Airbnb stays of 7 nights or more in one area. Automations can now start from an operation, for example an inspection after every Check-Out Clean that moves and cancels with it, and can use a different time on same-day turnovers. Recent executions now read in plain words and open the operation they created.
Add a chat bubble to your own website from Settings → Website Widgets; conversations land in your Inbox and you're notified when one arrives. Owners can now message your team from the Owner Portal too, and guest and owner chats support voice messages, emoji reactions and quoted replies.
Create your house rules once under Settings → Property Settings → House Rules and assign them to all properties, selected ones or all except a few. Guests see them on your channels, website, emails and rental agreements, and each property's Guest instructions tab shows exactly which rules apply.
September 2026
80 updates
September introduced the Reservations Agent, an AI team member you train and supervise, along with Trip.com, Emerging Travel Group and Agoda as new channels and long-stay pricing on every channel. Rentibly Connect and Rentibly Inbox arrived in the app stores, and Rentibly AI started building automations from a single sentence.
Set up an AI team member under Settings → Rentibly AI that answers guest questions in your tone, for the properties and channels you choose. Start in Shadow mode to review what it would have said, move to Draft so your team sends its replies, then let it hold or send on its own when you're ready. It can price a stay and draft a quote within your discount cap, and always hands money, cancellations and complaints to your team.
Connect your properties to Agoda from Channels & OTAs, either as new Agoda listings or by keeping the listings (and reviews) you already have there. Rentibly sends Agoda the tax-inclusive prices it requires, while your other channels keep getting prices before tax. You can also connect many properties at once from a CSV file.
Two new channels are ready to connect from Settings → Channels & OTAs: Trip.com, and Emerging Travel Group (Ostrovok, RateHawk and ZenHotels). Rates, availability and stay rules sync from Rentibly, bookings flow in automatically, and each channel has its own setup guide.
Describe what should happen in plain words, like "after every checkout, book a deep clean at 11:00" or "three days before check-in, email the guest their arrival details", and Rentibly AI builds the automation or notification rule for you, emails and WhatsApp messages included. Everything it creates is saved switched off, so nothing runs until you turn it on. Look for Create with Rentibly AI next to + New Rule and + New Automation.
Booking.com and other per-night channels can now receive your long-stay prices as dedicated Weekly and Monthly rate plans. Under a property's Rates → Channel pricing, tick Weekly and Monthly separately for each channel, set markups next to the price list they apply to, and enter long-stay prices as a % off nightly if you prefer.
Rentibly Connect is now in the App Store and Google Play, with team chat, voice and video calls, meetings and calls that ring like a phone call. Rentibly Inbox is on Google Play, with the iPhone version on its way, so you can answer guests on WhatsApp, email and your channels from your phone.
Calendar → Check rates now prices a stay on any connected channel, not just direct: the price list it sells from, the markup applied, every fee and tax, and any charge that reaches that channel differently from how you set it up.
Add a booking box, an availability calendar or a property search to Wix, WordPress, Squarespace or any site. Guests see live availability and exact prices, then book and pay on the secure Rentibly checkout. Set it up under Settings → Channels & OTAs → Website Widgets; you don't need a Rentibly website to use it.
Channel Promotions has its own tab under Settings → Pricing rules. Each promotion uses that channel's full set of options, can be edited and republished, and a new check asks the channel whether it's live on every listing. Promotions also flow through to owner statements, showing whether you or the owner absorbs the discount.
Raise or lower prices on many properties at once for chosen dates, for example +20% on every apartment in one area for a big event weekend, with an optional minimum stay. Pick properties by area, building, tags, type or bedrooms, see a before-and-after preview, and changes reach every channel, your website and your quotes within seconds. You can also close check-in or check-out on chosen dates. Find it under Settings → Pricing rules → Rate adjustments.
August 2026
79 updates
August brought automatic door codes for a wide range of smart locks, a Report Builder for your own reports and owner statements you review before release. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo conversations moved fully into your Inbox, channel promotions went live and three more booking channels arrived.
Connect locks from brands including Yale, August, Schlage, Nuki, igloohome, TTLock, Salto KS and Keyless under Settings → Integrations → Smart Locks, signing in to the lock brand directly. Each booking and operation gets its own door code, which is created ahead of arrival, follows any change of dates and is removed when the stay ends. You'll also see when a lock goes offline.
Switch on Guest messaging for Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo on the channel's page, and those guest conversations arrive in your Inbox with the stay dates and party size in the header. You can send and receive photos and files, start an Airbnb conversation from a booking, and reach any guest from the new WhatsApp, Email and Channel buttons on the booking itself.
The new Report Builder works with bookings, payments, contacts, properties, operations, owner finances and more. Group and filter the data, chart trends over time, or list records with the columns you choose. Save reports in folders, share them with specific people, roles or the whole team, and export to PDF or CSV.
Early bird, last minute, mobile-only and member rates now reach Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Set them up under Settings → Pricing rules, and each promotion is checked against that channel's own rules before it goes, so you hear about a limit here rather than from a rejection.
Owner statements now move from draft to finalized to released, so you can review a whole month before owners see anything. Generate drafts for all your owners at once, release them in bulk, and notify owners by email or WhatsApp when you do.
Click the globe on any message to read it in your language, or turn on Auto-translate for a ticket so every new guest message arrives translated. Write your reply in your own language, preview the translation, then send. Exporting a chat to PDF can include translations too.
Add your logo, company details and a custom footer to statement PDFs, and share expense receipts with owners. There are also many new columns to choose from, including guests, booked date, a commission breakdown, owner revenue and transaction fees by type.
Select dates on the property calendar and choose Price exception: it becomes a named, dated price on the Rates tab that always wins over seasons and base for those nights. The calendar now shows where every price comes from, you can delete several seasons or exceptions at once, and the Rates Guide has been rewritten with worked examples.
You can now list your properties on Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, HomeToGo and Google Vacation Rentals. Google needs no account or contract on your side. Rentibly checks each channel's listing requirements before you connect.
Go to Properties → + Add Property → Import from Airbnb and paste up to 20 listing links. Rentibly brings in the name, rooms, guests, location, description and photos, flags anything worth a second look, and creates each property in onboarding so nothing goes live until you're ready.
July 2026
39 updates
July was a big month. You can now connect Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo directly, run email and WhatsApp marketing, welcome guests with digital check-in and a Guest Portal, and give your field team their own app.
Connect your listings from Settings → Channels & OTAs → Add Integration, including taking over existing listings with their reviews. Your listing content, prices, availability, booking rules, fees and taxes go out to each channel. Reservations, changes and cancellations come back as normal bookings, and the dates are blocked on every other channel straight away.
Guest messages from your channels now arrive in the Inbox, linked to the booking, and you can reply or start a conversation from there. Requests to book show an approval card with a live 24-hour countdown, and questions guests ask before booking become inquiries automatically.
In the new Marketing section you can build audiences, design emails and send email or WhatsApp campaigns, with A/B testing for subject lines. Journeys handle review requests, abandoned-quote follow-ups, pre-arrival offers and more for you. Promo codes carry discounts through to your website, and every campaign shows the bookings and revenue it brought in.
Build your own check-in form under Settings → Property Settings → Digital Check-in and send each guest a secure link. Guests add the people staying with them and upload their ID. You can also require them to pay the deposit and sign the rental agreement before they finish. Everything they enter goes onto the booking and the guest's profile.
In the Guest Portal, guests can see their check-in details once they unlock before arrival and read a House Guide built from the property's own information. They can also message your team, with messages arriving in your Inbox, and pay their balance. Brand the portal with your own colour and welcome message.
Guest reviews from your channels now appear together in Quality Center, rated on one scale, with trends and the highlights guests mention most. Listing Health and the Analyzer show what to improve on each listing, and Guest Sentiment flags guests who need your attention.
Cleaners, maintenance staff and inspectors, whether on your team or from a vendor, sign in at ops.rentibly.app and see only the work assigned to them, with access details, checklists, photos and comments. They accept or decline each assignment, you can require them to submit work for your review, and finished work updates your Operations board automatically.
Create more price lists on a property's Rate Plans tab, assign them to channels with their own markup, and use Rate check to see what every channel will charge. The Calendar now shows each night's price and stay rules, and you can drag across any range of dates to set prices.
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere to search bookings, guests, properties, quotes, payments and more. It still finds matches when you make a typo. You can preview a result without leaving the page, or start a new booking, contact or task in two keystrokes.
All owners now sign in at owners.rentibly.app and see charts of their revenue, occupancy and payouts. You decide exactly what each owner can see, and you can share documents, expenses and booking notes with them. Use View as owner to check their portal for yourself.
June 2026
69 updates
June turned your data into dashboards and reports, put Rentibly AI suggestions inside Inbox conversations and launched your own direct-booking website. Owners got a portal of their own, with statements shaped to each one.
Command Center, Today, Reservations, Operations and Finance dashboards each show what that part of your team needs. A Needs action list flags overdue payments, late replies, unsigned agreements, deposits to release and more, and every number opens the records behind it.
Owners can now sign in without a password to see their statements, payouts, bookings, properties and an occupancy calendar, on any device and limited to their own properties. Turn it on with the Owner Portal Access toggle on the owner's Overview. Owners can also download any statement as a PDF.
Reports now cover revenue and bookings, guest payments, owner economics, portfolio, operations, sales and service. Filter by property, source and more, look ahead with future date ranges, open the records behind any row, export to CSV, and read the built-in Guide to see how each figure is worked out.
With Statement Views you choose the columns and decide whether each fee, tax, discount or expense is listed, rolled into a total or hidden. You can rename, reorder and add notes to columns, and preview a layout against any owner and date range before you use it. The owner's net payout always stays the same.
Rentibly AI now reads guest messages and proposes the next step right on the message: a quote with live availability, a date change with any fee, a cancellation with your policy applied, or a maintenance job with a suggested vendor. Review it, edit it first, then approve or dismiss. Nothing happens without you.
Property pages on your website have been redesigned with a full-screen photo gallery, a clear amenities overview, structured house rules, an embedded Google map and a booking widget that stays in view as guests scroll. On phones, a "Check availability & reserve" bar sits at the bottom of the screen.
Publish a branded website with your logo, colours and the properties you choose. Guests pick dates from a live availability calendar, get a quote, sign and pay, and the inquiry and quote land in Rentibly on their own. Edit pages visually with a live preview under Settings → Channels & OTAs → Website.
Guests can search your properties by dates, guests, area and bedrooms, narrow the results with filters, or switch to a map that updates as they move it. Results only show properties that are actually available for the chosen dates, and you can copy a pre-filtered link to send to a guest.
Log guest problems on a booking, give each one an owner, link follow-up jobs, and move it from Reported to Resolved. A new Incidents page lists them all, and open incidents show on bookings and in the Command Center.
Add a live chat bubble to your website. Visitors' messages arrive in your Inbox tagged Website, and your replies show up in their browser straight away. There's also a click-to-chat WhatsApp widget, and you choose where each widget appears, its colour and which pages show it.
May 2026
38 updates
May brought Rentibly Connect for team chat and calls, direct publishing to Bayut and Property Finder, rebuilt operations with automations, and a new generation of owner statements. The Hub also became comfortable to use on your phone.
Channels, direct messages, threads, reactions, voice notes, file sharing and search across every conversation. Type a booking or property reference and it becomes a preview card. Schedule messages, pin and save, set a status or Do Not Disturb, and follow bots that post new bookings and payments. Find it at connect.rentibly.app and in the chat dock at the bottom of the Hub.
Start a call from any Connect conversation, share your screen, and invite people outside Rentibly with a link; they wait until you let them in. Calls can be recorded, minimised or popped into their own window, and each one is saved in Meetings with attendees, notes and the in-call chat.
Connect your accounts under Settings → Channels & OTAs, then publish listings with a readiness checklist, the credit cost shown upfront and optional boosts. Changes to descriptions, photos and rates reach the portals within minutes, and new leads arrive in your Inbox and Inquiries with a one-click Acknowledge.
Statements now walk owners from gross revenue through commission, pass-through taxes and expenses to their net payout. A new PM tab on every booking shows how the money splits between the owner and you, monthly drafts can be created automatically, and one payout can settle several statements. Moving from another system? Import past statements for each owner.
Set up your own categories, job types and checklists, keep vendor price lists, and bill finished jobs to owners automatically, with an optional markup. Plan work in new Schedule, Month, Property and Worker views, attach photos and receipts, and update many jobs at once.
Under Settings → Automations, create rules that add cleanings and other jobs when a booking is confirmed, or on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly schedule. Jobs move with the booking when its dates change and are cancelled when the booking is.
Define each fee, tax and discount once and choose which properties it applies to automatically. Long-stay, last-minute and early-bird discounts switch on when a quote qualifies, and fees can repeat on long stays.
Bookings, calendar, inquiries, quotes, contacts, operations, finance and settings all have phone-friendly layouts now. The Hub, Inbox and Connect can each be installed as an app.
The calendar, bookings, inquiries, quotes, tasks, operations, statements and your notification bell refresh on their own the moment you or a teammate changes something. No more reloading to see the latest.
Push notifications reach every device you choose, each with its own settings. Similar alerts arrive together as one digest at a daily time you pick, and you can switch pop-ups and sounds on or off for each type of event.
April 2026
32 updates
Rentibly launched on 15 April as one connected workspace for running short-term rentals. In its first two weeks it gained a shared inbox, online quotes and payments, e-signatures, a multicalendar and Rentibly AI.
Properties, bookings, inquiries, quotes, contacts, operations, tasks and reports now live in one workspace, with a dashboard on top. Every record gets its own reference number, and each team member sees what their role allows.
Guest conversations from WhatsApp and email arrive as tickets in a shared Inbox, with response-time targets, assignments, internal notes and @mentions. Send photos, documents, voice notes and WhatsApp templates, write emails with signatures, and see when they're opened.
The five-step Quote Wizard prices a stay from your nightly and seasonal rates, fees and taxes, then builds a payment schedule. Guests open a branded quote page, review charges and the deposit, sign the rental agreement and accept. Quotes can also hold the dates on your calendar.
Connect your card processor under Settings → Integrations → Payment Processors and collect through a branded payment page. Send payment links, charge saved cards, give refunds, schedule installments that collect automatically, and pre-authorise damage deposits.
The new Agreements module covers rental agreements, management contracts and more. Build templates with placeholders, request signatures, see who viewed and signed, and renew when terms end. Every booking gets a permanent rental agreement link.
An assistant that knows your bookings, guests and properties. Ask questions in plain language, or ask it to create quotes and bookings. It shows you exactly what it will do and waits for your confirmation.
See every property on one timeline with bookings, owner stays and blocks. Drag to move through time, jump to any date, and see each night's rate right on the grid.
Create rules that alert the right people by email, WhatsApp, push or in-app, on events like a new booking or an idle inquiry, or on dates like three days before check-in. A notification bell and feed keep everything in one place.
Each contact has a full profile with conversations, bookings, documents, financials and an activity history. A property can have several owners, each with their own share and commission, and contacts flagged Caution or Blocked show a banner in the Inbox.
A 30-minute demo on your numbers — every tool you pay for today, mapped to its native Rentibly module.
