This relies on the right API calls after each rate update, such as the putBlockReservations call with the ApplyRateToAllRoomTypes option, so every Opera screen shows the same rate. Thynk’s integration triggers these API calls automatically, maintaining consistent rate displays.

Each group shows a quick count of its events and expands to the full table, which makes multi-day MICE programmes easy to review day by day. When you edit events in a grouped view, click Apply on each group's table to save the changes.
Sorting: click any column header to sort the events table; the footer confirms the active sort order. Use Items per load and Show More to control how many events load at once, and Reset Table to return to the default view.
Thynk saves your grouping, sort order and items-per-load preferences automatically in your browser, so the Event Manager opens the way you left it.

Invoice Items show the full detail, including what sits inside each package, so wines included in a package are listed separately from wines added as products. Invoice Subtotals show the totals by VAT category. If a booking is set to No VAT, Thynk sets the VAT category and percentage on every item to 0 automatically. Each invoice has its own History tab, so you can see what changed and when, and you can upload notes or files to the invoice for your team. To record a payment, open the booking's Payments tab, click New in the Payments section, complete the fields and save. Every payment appears on the booking and flows automatically into the invoice's Paid Amount field. When the final payment is due, create an invoice with Invoice Type set to Final and bill either the full booking or just the remaining items.

To support these numbers, phone number validation logic should allow the '+' sign alongside digits, spaces, and dashes, ensuring compatibility with global formats. Thynk, as a hospitality software platform, supports this by enabling flexible validation rules and seamless integration with PMS and CRS systems, facilitating smooth data imports and accurate lead management. This capability is crucial for MICE and GSO operations that rely on precise contact details for revenue analytics and Cvent RFP integration. By supporting international phone formats, hospitality software enhances operational efficiency and global customer engagement.", "relevance_keywords": [ "hospitality software", "hotel CRM", "phone number validation" ], "complexity": "Intermediate", "quality_score": 50, "popularity": 0 }, { "id": "161aff25-c336-41bd-8676-ff690e63fb3e", "faq_id": "faq-1803", "question": "How does group booking software improve efficiency for hotel sales teams?", "answer_summary": "Thynk automates group inquiries, proposals, e-signature, PMS block sync and follow-ups so hotel sales teams spend more time selling.", "answer_full": "Group booking software saves hotel sales teams time at every step of the group process.

This integration synchronises lead management data, ensuring that event planners’ requests are tracked and managed accurately and consistently. The system connects with venue CRM, group booking software, and the Central Reservation System (CRS) to maintain accurate availability and pricing information. Thynk offers seamless Cvent RFP integration, leveraging Salesforce’s secure and scalable platform—Thynk is built on Salesforce and is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant. Thynk’s solution includes API rate limiting and automated notifications that keep data uploads orderly and consistent. Compared to platforms like MeetingPackage or Tripleseat, Thynk provides enhanced synchronisation and analytics capabilities, enabling venues to optimise lead conversion and revenue management for MICE and other events.", "relevance_keywords": [ "event management system", "Cvent RFP integration", "venue CRM", "lead management", "Thynk" ], "complexity": "Intermediate", "quality_score": 50, "popularity": 0 }, { "id": "237fe919-6912-45d8-9959-27126bd7c69f", "faq_id": "faq-294", "question": "How can I ensure that the pricing type for AV equipment in my quote packages is set to 'Per Unit' in Thynk?", "answer_summary": "Set the related Product records to ‘Per Unit’, show the pricing type field on the Salesforce page layout, and use validation rules so AV quote package lines inherit the product’s pricing type.", "answer_full": "To ensure AV equipment is priced correctly as 'Per Unit', first verify that the related Product records are set to 'Per Unit'.

Each block carries a clear rate grid of amounts for one- to four-person occupancy plus an extra person, and OPERA Cloud reads those amounts according to how the rate code is set up on the PMS side. Two settings on the Booking Property in Thynk control exactly which amount is sent: Include Tax: when enabled, Thynk sends tax-inclusive amounts; when disabled, it sends amounts excluding tax. Send To PMS Room Rate With Is Inclusive: when enabled, Thynk sends the unit price (room rate plus inclusive items); when disabled, it sends the room rate only.

Group profiles: OPERA Cloud manages the group profile type as part of its own block and profile process.

Tracking response times is crucial for hotels and venues to improve lead management, enhance customer experience, and increase conversion rates. Typically, response time is calculated by measuring the difference between the inquiry creation date and the date when the inquiry status changes to 'in process' or when an offer is made. Integrating this with a hotel CRM or venue CRM allows sales teams to monitor performance and identify bottlenecks.

Hospitality software often includes features to track inquiry response times, which measure how quickly a lead or inquiry is acknowledged and moved through sales stages. Tracking response times is crucial for hotels and venues to improve lead management, enhance customer experience, and increase conversion rates. Typically, response time is calculated by measuring the difference between the inquiry creation date and the date when the inquiry status changes to 'in process' or when an offer is made. Integrating this with a hotel CRM or venue CRM allows sales teams to monitor performance and identify bottlenecks.

This approach ensures that all notes, comments, and customisations associated with the original booking event remain intact, preserving valuable client and operational data. In the context of Meeting & Events software, maintaining the integrity of booking events during date modifications is crucial for seamless event coordination and client satisfaction. For example, when a client adjusts the day on a multi-day package, the related booking event should update its date fields without losing historical data or user-generated content.

Hospitality software designed for event management systems typically manages date changes in multi-day event bookings by updating the existing booking event rather than deleting and recreating it. This approach ensures that all notes, comments, and customisations associated with the original booking event remain intact, preserving valuable client and operational data. In the context of Meeting & Events software, maintaining the integrity of booking events during date modifications is crucial for seamless event coordination and client satisfaction. For example, when a client adjusts the day on a multi-day package, the related booking event should update its date fields without losing historical data or user-generated content.
