What are "Tasks for today" in Exely Advisor
In the “Advisor” > “Dashboard” > “Tasks for today” section, you can view issues that should be fixed to boost website sales.
Exely Advisor goes through your Exely account settings every 8 hours, looks for errors, turns them into tasks and displays them in the “Tasks for today” section.
You can find a corresponding article in the Exely Knowledge Base and fix a problem yourself by following the steps from the article.
Why tasks are in different colors
Tasks are divided into groups by different colors.
The red color stands for issues that do not let users book on your website. For example, the “Extend prices” task.
This task is created as a resul of checking prices in rate plans — you do not have prices for dates that are already in demand among guests. We recommend uploading prices in rate plans for a year ahead, otherwise guests will not be able to book accommodation in the property for distant dates and will leave your website
The yellow color stands for tasks that you can solve by making settings in the Exely Extranet. For example, there is a “Not enough room photos” task.
Such a task is created after the room types check. This means that there are no or not enough photos added for some room types. We recommend adding at least 5 photos for each room types: 3-4 photos of the room and 1-2 photos of the bathroom.
The blue color stands for the tasks with the settings that would complement the Booking Engine.
Tasks that can be set by Exely Advisor
There are seven kinds of tasks:
Prices available for the next 6 months. Users cannot book on the website.
Room availability for the next 6 months. If the availability is not set for future periods, the booking will not be available.
Active payment methods available. Such a task appears if users cannot make a payment with a bank card on the website.
Completeness of room information. Users book rooms with text descriptions more often.
Photos attached to the room type description. Users book rooms with photos attached more often.
Completeness of rate plans information. Users need to know what is included in a rate plan, what services you provide within the rate plan, and in general. Make rate plan descriptions as detailed as possible.
Enable feedback emails. Set welcome emails supposed to be sent before the stay and feedback emails supposed to be sent after guests check out. You can make the settings in the “Marketing” menu section. To collect guest reviews, make a feedback questionnaire. Reviews will help you understand your advantages and improve hotel service.
The “Tasks for today” section turns green when all the tasks are completed. However, do not forget that the tasks will be updated in 8 hours and, maybe, Exely Advisor will assign you new tasks.
If all the tasks are completed, it will become easier for guests to book on the website. Do the tasks to boost your website sales!
