Focus Features in this Update:

⚡ Automation Enhancements

  • Zapier Enhancements:
    • Zapier actions for Adding and Deleting Manual Payments
      • The AddManualPayment API can now apply allocations across an entire reservation. #11323

💡 YouLi does not charge a booking fee for payments collected on other platforms that are recorded in your YouLi TRIP. Upgrade to GROW to access these automations and lower your cost of payments without switching platforms.

    • Create automations from your CRM that create TRIPS in YouLi.
      • Make sure those trips automatically show up in the right places using the new Trip Tags input field when using the "Create Trip" action
      • If you aren't using Trip Tags yet, then you aren't automating right, make sure you have a trip tag strategy and then implement the right workflow to set the correct ones on creation. #11417
  • API Updates:
    • The AddRegistration endpoint now supports forcing new registrations with existing emails, allowing empty emails, and assigning travelers to specific invitation groups or reservations. Read our Usage Guide. #11423
    • The GetTrips response now includes detailed installment data and linked tour IDs (Main/Pre/Post). Essential for automations with Pre/Post tours.  #11422

🛏️ Easier Reservation and Room Management

Planners using Reservations now have more control from the TripBoard Reservation Summary panel.

  • Room numbers now appear directly in the Reservation Summary at the top of the TripBoard, making it easier to see which room a traveler is assigned to.

    tripboard remove and edit reservation
  • Planners can remove a person in three ways:
    1. Remove from the current invitation group
    2. Move them out into a separate reservation
    3. Or delete permanently

  • When a traveler is moved out of a reservation or deleted, payment allocations are returned automatically to the original payer where appropriate.
  • A new edit action makes it quicker to open and update traveler details from the Reservation Summary.

  • When changing an installment allocation, planners can now move an allocation to another person in the same invitation group or reservation.
