📜 Release Notes

1.0.9 - Door Access Event Context Alignment

Released: September 25, 2026

Door-open events now carry the same context for every door provider. Previously the shape depended on which provider a property used.

  • RESERVATION_DOOR_OPEN_SUCCESS and RESERVATION_DOOR_OPEN_FAILED (object RESERVATION) now always contain lockId, which was missing for some door providers, and no longer contain pmsReservationId — it is already the event's objectId.
  • DOOR_OPEN_SUCCESS and DOOR_OPEN_FAILED (object LOCK) no longer contain lockId — it is already the event's objectId. These events were previously documented as carrying a lockName key that was never populated.
  • LOCK_CONNECTION_LOST and LOCK_CONNECTION_RESTORED (object LOCK) — documentation correction only, no change to the payload: the context key is name, previously documented as lockName.

⚠️ If you read lockId from the context of DOOR_OPEN_SUCCESS or DOOR_OPEN_FAILED, read objectId instead — same value. Events recorded before this release keep their original shape.

1.0.8 - Post-Stay Feedback API

Released: September 17, 2026

Push the reviews guests leave on your platform into LIKE MAGIC, and read back everything a reservation or a guest ever wrote. Ratings are stored exactly as you send them, together with their own scale, so a 4/5 and an 8/10 stay distinguishable.

API Enhancement

Inventory API – Post-stay feedback endpoints added

  • PUT /api/reservations/{pmsReservationId}/post-stay-feedback – Create or replace one entry. origin and originIdentifier together identify it, so re-sending that pair replaces the entry instead of adding another
  • GET /api/reservations/{pmsReservationId}/post-stay-feedback – Every entry stored for a reservation, newest first
  • GET /api/guests/{pmsId}/post-stay-feedbacks – Everything a guest wrote across stays, newest first
  • reservation_feedback.read and reservation_feedback.write – New scopes, separate from reservation.read and reservation.write

1.0.7 - Custom Templates & Expanded Template Slots

Released: August 18, 2026

Send a guest your own wording through the new custom templates, and pick from nine slots per template family instead of three. Reach guests on WhatsApp outside the 24-hour service window, on SMS or on Email.
