Why are we seeing the "Pending" status after manual approval, and why can't this status be changed?

Even after a reservation has been manually approved, you may still see a "Pending" status. This occurs because the status change is dependent on the guest completing the guest portal process. Here's what you need to know:

  • Manual Approval: When you manually approve a reservation, it doesn't automatically change the status from "Pending".
  • Guest Portal Completion: The status will only change once the guest completes the required steps in the guest portal.
  • Unable to Modify: Autohost support cannot manually modify the status from "Pending" to "Approved" or any other status.
  • Guest Action Required: To resolve the "Pending" status, the guest must complete all required steps in the guest portal.
  • Reservation Visibility: Despite the "Pending" status, manually approved reservations are still valid and visible in your system.

Remember, while the "Pending" status may persist, it does not affect the validity of a manually approved reservation. The guest's completion of the portal is the final step in changing this status.
