Previously, Lodgix deployed a simple algorithm to determine which properties to [autosuggest] for inquiries on properties that are not available. \u00a0[autosuggest] is a merge tag that can be used in automated responses to suggest other similar properties that ARE available for the same dates in the original inquiry.<\/p>\n

For must property managers the Lodgix alogorithm works just fine. \u00a0However for some property managers who have properties in multiple cities, \u00a0the Lodgix algorithm isn’t smart enough to not [autosuggest] for example a 2 bedroom in Fort Myers when the original inquiry was for a 2 bedroom in Tampa. \u00a0Thus the [autosuggest] feature might suggest properties that the guest would have no interest in renting.<\/p>\n

Another situation would be when a property manager wants to rent certain properties before other properties. \u00a0The Lodgix algorithm doesn’t allow the property manger to order which properties are [autosuggested], it simply spits out the properties. \u00a0This also causes some consternation amongst some property managers.<\/p>\n

To fix that we now allow Lodgix customers to “associate” properties to [autosuggest] manually.<\/p>\n

Here is the interface located under inquiries > configuration options<\/p>\n

Note the properties you associate as an [autosuggest] are in order of importance. If the property doesn’t have any [autosuggest] associations, the merge tag will work as usual, using the current automated auto-suggest algorithm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
