April showers bring May flowers…and new product updates!
This past month, we’ve followed through on Lodgify users’ most-requested feature update to make task delegation that much easier, and released a new security feature to help detect suspicious activity.
We also released not one, not two, but three new integrations to help you automate guest communications, generate additional revenue, and simplify turnover management.
Keep reading to learn more and see how these updates can streamline your property management operations.
Assign multiple owners to your rentals
Chances are, you’re not the only one involved in your rental’s management. After all, vacation rental management requires collaboration and flexibility—and a lot of help.
So, to make things easier for you and your team, we’ve updated our platform to let you assign multiple owners to a single rental and delegate specific roles to different individuals.
We hope this update makes delegating and ensuring everyone on your team has visibility that much easier!
New login monitoring puts security first
You can never be too careful, especially when it comes to something as important as the security of your Lodgify account. So, to better protect our users’ accounts, we’ve implemented new login activity monitoring to look out for suspicious activity.
If this new feature notices anything out of the ordinary (such as logins from a different IP range, device, browser, or country), it will automatically flag the activity and send you an email to let you know. If it was just you logging in, you can ignore the email and proceed as usual. But if it wasn’t you, you can promptly follow the recommendations in our email to secure your account.
Needless to say, this new feature will be a huge help in protecting your account against hijacking. We hope you’ll also have greater peace of mind with this additional visibility and control over your login activity!
