Happy Friday everyone, we have a fresh product release with some nice improvements. Let's dive right in :)
Snippets are available in the KnowledgeCenter

New Slack alert channels
- To ensure that we are not missing important communication from guests or from our customers (via SupportSync), we have created two channels that will alert the team when a conversation hasn't yet been handled that should have been handled within a certain timeframe.
x10Reply now sounds more natural
- An improvement has been made to our x10Reply suggestions that bring them more in alignment with the natural flow of the conversations.
Conversation source detail on SuperSearch
- Now, we are showing the actual source of the conversation (Airbnb, SMS, VRBO). Before, if this was coming from a PMS we would just show the PMS name.

Well, the release train keeps on rolling here at Extenteam. We have officially released the next feature which makes it easier for customers to give us important information about their properties -
Snippets
.Snippets v1
- Before, we had "Extenteam Notes" which was a paragraph form single text field where customers could give information about their properties. It was scarcely used and hard to discover.
- Now, we have an improved UI/UX for the discovery of this feature and a fresh approach for our customers! Have a look at the video below:
Other Improvements
Reassign a conversation at anytime
- This feature allows for a conversation to be reassigned at anytime and will ensure that our supervisors have control over which agent should be managing a specific conversation. See the video below:
URL restrictions for OTA conversations
- This will make it to where agents aren't able to accidentally send a message to a guest for an OTA conversation with a link that could violate the terms of that platform. Security matters.

Automatically detected missing knowledge improvement
- Now, when x10 detects missing knowledge the "user" who reported it will be x10 and not the agent. This will help with tracking and analytics.
Additional information from the PMS'
- After some investigation, we found that through the API integrations we have there was an additional field that we can ingest from certain PMS'. Now, if any property in a PMS has notes added to the notes field we will be bringing that into our platform and using it for our x10AI responses!
Two product releases in one week? Yep! That is correct :)
Today we released a feature called Company Announcements. This allows for important company information to be shared and communicated to any user who is managing conversations. Have a look at the video for a full walk-through of this new feature!
We've been hard at work with some larger features that will be released soon, but in the meantime we have some nice features which were released today!
AI automated knowledge missing detection

Now, when x10reply is used and we can't find the answer to the guest question in the KnowledgeCenter we are automatically flagging that message for missing knowledge. Hurray for automations :)
Improvement to the UX of x10reply/notes and a menu update!
x10reply is now more prominent

Before. this was in a menu. Now, it is ready for the limelight!
Notes are now in the menu
Based on user feedback, we have moved notes back to the menu and modal so it is abundantly clear when a note is being left vs when a reply is being written.
Menu UX improvement
Now, instead of the menu pushing the other elements over the menu overlays. This is much smoother and more consistent.
Wooo double launch Friday! Today we have officially launched our Guesty integration 🥳🥳🥳
This means that we can now onboard Guesty customers and have them directly integrate their properties to our platform so we can pull all reservations, messages and guest information.
Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday, team! Today we released a few exciting new improvements to our product. Our x10AI product became stronger with the second iteration and also we launched another fully redesigned page of the property experience for our customers.
x10Reply
This feature allows for users of the inbox to generate responses to guests without ever having to leave the conversation view. x10Reply will take into account the guest messages, reservation details, property information and also the company policies before generating a response. We can't wait to see how much time this saves and also improves the accuracy of messages!
Please see the Loom video here for the entire interaction!
I am also VERY excited to announce that we also have a full analytics tracking plan that launched with this so we can see how it is being used.
Property UI Revamp
We have launched the next improvement to the UI/UX of the property experience for our customers. The screen that has been fully revamped is the property details screen (the one where customers land once they click on a property from the table). Let's take a look at the before/after.
Before

After

As you can see, we have turned this page into something that encourages action from our users and not simply showing them read only data. We have many other actions coming soon (adding documents, customizing policies, etc). HUGE improvement!
Today marks a MASSIVE milestone for the Tailwind product as we have officially launched the Customer Inbox into production 🎉🎉🎉
This has been a product that we have been thinking about and then (tirelessly) working on for quite a while. We are really excited to bring this to market and see how customers use it and then we'll continue to iterate on it!
The Customer Inbox launches with the following features:
- View all conversations
- Create notes
- Takeover a conversation
- Sending and receiving messages directly with the guest
- Releasing conversations back to Tailwind agents
- Off hours support (customers can use the inbox on their own during the hours that agents aren't managing conversations)
To see the flow of a conversation from an agent to the Customer Inbox have a look at the video here:
Other improvements
SupportSync group names can now be edited
- After a group has been named (manually or automatically), this name can be changed as needed.
Miscellaneous Fixes
- The way that we show emails in a conversation has been improved
- UI improvements for the previously released property table and also SupportSync
- Improvements with how we handle different attachment types from PMS' and OTAs
Phew! After a couple weeks of massive releases, we have a minor improvement that was released which will help reduce the cognitive load for users who are managing guest communication for properties in differing timezones!

This will always be shown on the reservation object and will be calculated based on the property location.
Have a nice Thursday!
Happy Thursday! Today's launch marks a new beginning in our product 🎉🎉🎉
UI/UX (user interface/user experience) improvements have been showing up here and there over the past few months, but the first fully redesigned section of the platform is LIVE. This is a huge first step moving forward with our new product vision and the best way to start it is with a fresh look. The platform's previous design had major opportunities, as it had outdated visuals, restrictive and generic style that were not aligned with the evolution of our product and brand.
In addition to this, we also have released some other overall improvements (see below).
Redesigned Property Table with our new UI/UX design vision
With this redesign, we have elevated the visuals to offer a more user-friendly and visually pleasing experience. The screen showcases a modern look with simple, rounded elements, as well as calming colors based on our brand palette that guide our users through the interface highlighting the most important actions in our platform.

For context (and the alluring before/after), here is the photo of our previous property table:

Here is a brief overview of what was improved in the redesign according to our brand and design vision:
- Fonts
- Icons
- Color palette
- Styling (UI elements, buttons, etc)
- Illustrations
- Interactive elements
Beyond a complete redesign, this page features the following functional improvements:
- Improved property merging UX
- Ability to filter the page by property statuses of covered and merged
- Ability to sort the table by property name and property address
- Ability to see which properties are merged and which aren't
- Ability to unmerge properties
Also, it is really important to point out that this isn't just one redesigned page. What this also means is that we have the beginnings of a new design system, which will help us work smoothly and have a consistent experience throughout each section of the platform. See the image below for just one of the many different pieces of the new design library (you will see how many different states a single button can have based on numerous factors):

Other improvements
- Improved logic of opening up conversations (no longer opening conversations for unused reservation events)
- Miscellaneous SupportSync updates improvements (scrolling issues, removing unnecessary search bar)
- Improved logging on conversations and PMS API interactions
Today we released some really important improvements! Things like allowing for agents to play an active role in growing the KnowledgeCenter for a parter, more efficiently managing communication in SupportSync and some other general fixes. Let's hop into the details :)
Knowledge Management
Ability to flag knowledge as missing
Now, when chatting with guests, agents have the ability to flag messages that we do not have the ability to answer due to a lack of documented knowledge.

Then, after the agent has flagged that message, we store the event in our database so that the Tailwind Operations team can reach out to our partner and have them add that knowledge to our platform.

Also, this same functionality has been added to SupportSync so when agents are chatting with a partner and they share something valuable with us that the message can be flagged as "new knowledge received" and it can be evaluated for adding to the KnowledgeCenter.
SupportSync
Introduction of the Alias tab

We have now added a third tab to a company's communication which allows for agents to access specific types of communication like 2FA codes. Also, more importantly, agents can now more easily access important partner communication on the intended tabs.
Improved handling of SMS creation
Now, when agents try to create an SMS conversation that already exists, we locate the existing SMS conversation and ensure that it is the conversation that is focused into their view.
General Improvements
Ability to view/add the Hubspot Company ID

On the company profile (admin portal), we can now view/edit/add the Hubspot company ID. This is important for older Tailwind customers to ensure that we store this information in our DB. Also, this is how we map customers properly between Tailwind and SmartRecruit. So, if this value is missing for a Tailwind customer and then they use SmartRecruit, we will have to manually merge them.
