This week we made improvements to the host app blocks and calendar and pushed an update for phone verification. As always we also published help articles for all new features. Here’s a recap of what’s new:
Host App: Blocks Now Easily Modifiable
Blocks in the host app calendar can now be edited by clicking the block, just like any reservation block. This update makes editing blocks much easier and will help venues quickly manage specific blocks without having to scroll through a long list.
Host App: Customize Your Calendar's Start and Stop Times
Start and end times can now be customized instead of viewing the default calendar of 12:00 am-4:00 am in the host app. This prevents excess white space and unnecessary scrolling, allowing hosts to view what matters and nothing else. Here's how to set that up.
Guests' Phone Numbers Now Verified
Venue administrators now have the option to turn on Phone Verification. This will prompt a text verification screen during checkout where guests will have to verify their mobile number with a 6-digit code. This will prevent incorrect information and allow venues to collect the correct data they need to manage effectively.
