What's New?
You can now view and manage your Price Match configuration directly from the Triptease platform. The new Price Match property settings page in Hotel Profile gives you full visibility of your promo codes, OTA targeting, and rate filters, and lets you make changes without contacting support.
---
Why It Matters
Until now, your Price Match setup was managed by Triptease. This update puts more control in your hands so that you can
  • Diagnose broken promo codes independently
  • Adjust your promo strategy or OTA targeting directly, without raising a ticket
  • Audit your own Price Match setup ahead of seasonal pushes or contract renewals
  • Use Quick Setup to speed up configuration across multiple properties
---
Who Can Access It?
Available to all customers with Metasearch Price Match or On-site Price Match enabled.
  • Admins
    can configure OTAs and manage promo codes (add, pause, resume) by default
  • Creators and Viewers
    with the ‘configure property-level pricing settings’ capability can also configure and manage
  • Without that capability,
    Creators and Viewers
    see the page in read-only mode
---
How Does It Work?
Find the new page at:
Settings > Property Settings > [select hotel] > Price Match card
image
From there, you can:
  1. View your current setup
    — configured OTAs, promo codes, applicability rules, and rate filters
  2. Add, pause, or resume promo codes
    — pausing is a new customer-controlled lever
  3. Check promo code health
    — automatic background checks show the status of every code and the last check timestamp. Click "View details" for a per-itinerary breakdown: price with/without the code, expected vs observed discount %, and a clear pass/fail result for each date and length of stay
  4. Trigger a manual recheck
    — run an on-demand validation any time
  5. Configure rate filters
    — define which rates your promo codes apply to using include/exclude rules
  6. Quick Setup
    — if you manage multiple properties, import a configuration from another hotel in your account
image
What's Included?
The page covers both Metasearch Price Match and On-site Price Match in one place.
Are There Any Limitations?
  • Turning Price Match on or off for a property is still managed by Triptease — contact your CSM to enable or disable the service
  • The maximum number of OTAs you can price match against is set by your contract. To expand your coverage, speak to your account team
  • Editing controls require the Admin role, or the ‘configure property-level pricing settings’ capability granted to a Creator or Viewer role. Without that capability, Creators and Viewers see the page in read-only mode
---
FAQs
How do I turn Price Match on or off?
Activation and deactivation are managed by Triptease. Contact your CSM.
How many OTAs can I price match against?
This depends on your contract. To expand your OTA coverage, speak to your account team.
Why can't I add a promo code or edit OTAs?
Editing requires the Admin role, or the ‘configure property-level pricing settings’ capability granted to your Creator or Viewer role. If you see the page in read-only mode and can’t see the ‘Add promo code’ button, you don’t have the right permissions — ask your account Admin to grant the capability or update your role.
What do the status indicators on each promo code mean?
Triptease runs automatic checks to confirm each code is being applied correctly. "Last checked" shows when we last validated it, and "Details" surfaces any issues. Use "Recheck" to trigger a fresh check on demand.
Can I set this up for multiple hotels at once?
Yes — use the Quick Setup option to copy a configuration from another hotel in your account.
What's the difference between base rate and total rate for promo code applicability?
This controls how your discount is applied: against the base rate (before taxes and fees) or the total rate (including them). The setting should match how your booking engine displays prices.

What's New?
We've extended our simplified campaign creation flow — first launched for Messages in April — across the rest of the Campaign Manager.
Date Boost campaigns, off-site adverts on Metasearch and Paid Search, and multi-channel campaigns now all use the same unified flow, with three clear stages: Adverts → Messages → Review.
You'll also notice every campaign recipe card now leads into the same coherent experience, you can target each advert and each message independently, and there's a brand-new Location Boost recipe card on the home page for boosting traffic from countries that matter to your hotel.
[NOTE: An ‘advert’ here means a specific channel configuration - Metasearch or Paid Search - within a campaign, with particular targeting applied. It doesn’t mean ‘one single version of an advert’.]
---
Why It Matters
Setting up multi-channel campaigns used to mean setting up a single campaign-level targeting model and inferring what would actually happen on each channel. The new flow gives you precise, one-to-one control: set the targeting you want on each advert and each message individually, manage each component's status (live, paused, or draft) separately, and see everything you've configured on a single review screen before going live.
It's also much easier to evolve campaigns over time — add an off-site advert to an existing message campaign, or layer a message onto your Date Boost, without rebuilding from scratch.
---
Who Can Access It?
Available to all customers using the Triptease Campaign Manager. The new flow applies automatically when you create a campaign from any recipe card. The new Location Boost recipe is available to all Metasearch customers.
---
How Does It Work?
  1. From the Campaign Manager home page, click any recipe card —
    Boost some dates
    ,
    Boost some locations
    (new!),
    Boost specific guest segments
    , or
    Personalize your guest experience
    .
  2. Each recipe opens a short setup modal (e.g. pick dates and hotels for Date Boost, or pick countries and hotels for Location Boost).
  3. You'll land on the
    Adverts
    tab of the campaign manager with your initial advert pre-configured. From here you can refine the targeting, add a second off-site advert if relevant, or move on.
  4. On the
    Messages
    tab you can add one or more messages to the same campaign — each independently targeted.
  5. The
    Review
    tab shows everything in your campaign — every advert and every message, with the targeting and status applied to each — ready to publish, pause, or keep in draft as needed.
image
What's Included?
  • A unified three-stage campaign flow (Adverts → Messages → Review) across every recipe
  • Independent targeting per advert and per message — no more campaign-level targeting
  • Per-component status control (live, paused, draft) for each advert and each message
  • The ability to add adverts to existing Message campaigns and messages to existing Date Boost campaigns without rebuilding
  • A refreshed Date Boost setup wizard with a new, faster date picker
  • The
    Boost specific guest segments
    recipe now lets you choose Meta, Paid Search, or both up front
  • A brand-new
    Location Boost
    recipe card for boosting Metasearch traffic from specific countries
Are There Any Limitations?
  • Currently one Metasearch advert and one Paid Search advert per campaign. Multiple messages are supported. Multi-advert per channel is something we may add later.
  • Paid Search stay-date targeting is at month granularity, not specific days. This reflects how audience targeting works on Paid Search.
  • Location targeting is currently available on Metasearch only. It's not yet available on Paid Search, which is why the Location Boost recipe sets up a Metasearch advert.
  • Copying targeting between channels (adverts) and messages isn't supported yet. If you want the same targeting on multiple messages or across channels, you'll need to set it on each one individually for now.
  • There isn't a recipe card that spans all three channels at once. To set one up, start from any one- or two-channel recipe and add the remaining components inside the campaign manager.
How Do I Get Access?
The new flow is live now — no action required. Whenever you create a new campaign from a recipe card, you'll be taken through the new experience automatically. Existing campaigns continue to work as before.
What's Coming Next?
We're working on adding AI to the campaign interface to make set-up easier and reduce manual work. Personalised campaign recommendations based on each hotel's guest insights are also on the roadmap.
---
FAQs
Can I have different targeting on Meta and Paid Search in the same campaign?
Yes. Each advert is targeted independently — set them up however suits your campaign.
Can I have more than one Meta or Paid Search advert per campaign?
Not currently. One Metasearch advert and one Paid Search advert per campaign. You can have multiple messages.
Can I add a message to my existing Date Boost campaign?
Yes. Open the campaign and add components on the Messages tab.
Can I add an off-site advert to my existing Message campaigns?
Yes — the new flow is fully cross-channel compatible.
What's the Location Boost recipe?
A new entry point on the campaign manager home page. Choose the countries you want to attract guests from, choose the hotels you want to boost, and you'll land in the campaign manager with a Metasearch advert pre-configured to do exactly that. You can then add a message that greets visitors from those countries with relevant content.

Need help?

What's new?
Your Triptease Home page has been redesigned to give you a faster read on your marketing performance, suggest where to focus your attention, and keep you informed about the latest updates. From there it takes you into the rest of the platform - your campaigns, reporting and guest insights.
When you log in, you now see a short AI-generated, plain-English summary of how your key metrics have moved over the last 28 days compared to the same period last year. The summary covers marketing reach and web conversion, and suggests specific things worth investigating based on what the data shows across your properties.
Home now also includes:
  • In-demand check-in dates with low conversion
    — the top three weekend dates (Friday/Saturday) and top three weekday dates (Sunday–Thursday) from the past 28 days where search interest was above average but booking engine conversion was below average. The median search count and conversion rate are shown alongside each date so you can read them in context.
  • Year-on-year comparison
    on four headline metrics — impressions, attributed direct revenue share, web sessions, and booking engine conversion rate (where prior-year data is available).
  • What's new
    — the three most recent product update entries from our changelog, each linking through to its full detail. An "Explore updates" link at the top opens the full list.
  • Quick links
    to key parts of the platform, including the Reporting and Campaign set-up pages.
image
The new Home page acts as a summary and guide, rather than a set of separate numbers.
Where did the old data go?
The content from the previous version of the home page is still available, including the Direct Booking Overview, Booking Journey Visualization, Parity Distribution and Price Match Impact, and Audience Intelligence. All this data has moved from Home into a reorganized Guest Insights page (found within the Market Insights menu in the left-hand navigation).
Guest Insights is now where the analytical detail lives; Home is where you get a quick read on what's changed and what to look at next.
image
The data previously available on the Home page is now found on the Guest Insights page.
Home page scope
The summary and metrics on version 1 of the new Home page are aggregated across your whole account, not broken down by property. So if you use Triptease products for multiple hotels, for now you'll see signals across the account as a whole. Per-property signals on the Home page are on the roadmap for a future update.
The Guest Insight page, including all the data that used to live on the Home page, can still be filtered down to specific hotels.
Help us to improve
This is our first update of the Home page in some time and we have more changes planned. We’d love your feedback as we go.
There's a "Was this helpful?" prompt directly under the new Home page summary. Your responses will help us refine what gets shown there.
For any other questions, feedback or concerns you can contact or ask our in-platform chatbot, as usual.
FAQs
- Where did the charts that used to be on Home go?
Direct Booking Overview, Booking Journey Visualization, Parity Distribution and Price Match Impact, and Audience Intelligence are now on the Guest Insights page, which has been reorganised so the flow from overview to detail makes sense.
- What is the AI summary based on?
It's based on the metrics currently shown on the Home page — Triptease performance (impressions, attributed direct revenue share) and website analytics (sessions, booking engine conversion). It focuses on what's changed over the last 28 days versus the same period last year, and suggests next steps to investigate. It does not speculate on why something is changing.
- What does the "In-demand check-in dates with low conversion" tile show?
The top three weekend dates (Friday and Saturday) and top three weekday dates (Sunday to Thursday) from the past 28 days that had above-median searches but below-median conversion. The median search count and conversion rate over the same period are shown on the tile so you can read each date in context.
- Is the AI summary going to give me wrong information?
The summary is grounded in the same data shown on the page — it describes the metrics, it doesn't generate new ones. It is deliberately scoped to commentary and next-step suggestions, not explanations of cause. The "Was this helpful?" prompt is there so we can refine where it doesn't land.
- What is the "What's new" column on the right of Home?
It's a live feed of the latest three product update entries — the same content available via "Product updates" in the main navigation. Each entry links through to its full detail, and "Explore updates" at the top of the column opens the full changelog.
- Will more be added to this over time?
Yes — this is the first step. We'll continue layering in additional signals and more context over time. The longer-term direction is surfacing what's changed specifically per hotel rather than only at account # aggregate.
We’ve released a number of exciting improvements to the new Triptease Parity Manager. Hoteliers can now:
View multiple occupancies in all visualisations
The new dashboard used to be limited to just 2 adults 0 children, but you are now able to pull in all parity data for all occupancies. This comes with a new occupancy range filter which hoteliers can use to analyse their parity for specific party size ranges, or for specific occupancies.
image
What's New?
Hoteliers can now control which pricing information appears in their retargeting display ads directly from the platform. Five options are available: Standard (search details, prices from, and best rate guarantee text), search details only, prices from only, best rate guarantee text always, or no price content.
Why It Matters
Previously, what appeared in retargeting ads was system-determined with no platform control. Hotels can now align ad content to their pricing strategy.
Who Can Access It?
Available to all Retargeting customers. The setting is in Retargeting → Advert Setup, step 3.
How Do I Get Access?
Available now. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you need help.
💡 What's New?
Messages created in the new Triptease Messages platform (v2) can now include a
Email Capture block
, giving you a flexible, on-brand way to collect contact details from web visitors before they book.
Use the block to gather data about website visitors, including email address, title, first name, last name, and phone number.
All captured submissions are available in a
Guest emails
page — a centralised place to filter and download guest contact data.
---
❤️ Why It Matters
Building a first-party email list is one of the most valuable things a hotelier can do. Capturing a guest's email while they're actively browsing your website — and engaged with your content — means you can reach them again with direct offers, bringing them back to book with you directly.
Adding the new Email Capture block to the flexibility of the Triptease Creative Builder means you can design personalized data capture experiences that fit your brand and work across different message types. The Guest emails page ensures all your submissions are in one easy-to-find location — ready to download and use in your preferred marketing tool.
---
👥 Who Can Access It
Email Capture is available now to all Triptease Messages users. No additional setup required — just add the Email Capture block to any message in the Creative Builder.
---
🪄 How to Use It
Setting up Email Capture:
  • In the Creative Builder, add the
    Email Capture block
    to your message (or choose a pre-built email capture template from the template library)
  • Choose which fields to include: email (required) plus optional Title, First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number
  • Set each additional field as required or optional
  • Customise the T&Cs consent checkbox — edit the copy and add a link to your privacy policy
  • Preview your design on desktop and mobile, then save and publish
image
The Email Capture block is a highly-customizable addition to personalized website messages.
Downloading guest submissions:
  • Go to
    Guest emails
    in the left-hand navigation (under Market Insights)
  • Filter by hotel, message, or date range
  • Download a CSV to import into your CRM or email marketing platform
> ⚠️
A note on permissions:
To protect guest data, the ability to download contact details is an opt-in permission. An Admin must enable "Download personal information about guests" for each user individually before the CSV download is available. This applies to all roles — including Admins — and must be explicitly granted.
>

Data captured via Email Capture blocks is easily accessible via the Guest Emails page. Not that this user does not have the permissions needed to access Personally Identifiable Information.

❓ FAQs
- Which container types does Email Capture work with?
The Email Capture block works with all three container types: collapsible, dismissible, and inline messages.

No, this is not yet supported.
- Does Email Capture work on mobile and desktop?
Yes. You can preview and tailor the layout for both in the Creative Builder.

- Can I push the data from Email Capture in v2 Messages to my CRM automatically?
Not yet. v2 CRM integration is planned but for now, download the CSV from the Guest emails section and import it manually.
- Is there a limit on how many submissions I can capture?
No.

What’s New?
We've completely redesigned how you create and manage Messages campaigns. The new flow brings everything — targeting, creative, and message management — onto a single screen. You can now set targeting independently for each message in a campaign, manage individual message statuses (publish one, keep another in draft), and review everything in a detailed overview before going live. We've also added location exclude targeting, so you can now exclude specific locations from your message targeting rules.
---
Why It Matters
Setting up message campaigns used to mean navigating between multiple screens, with targeting applied at campaign level and all messages sharing the same status. This made it hard to run coordinated campaigns with different messages aimed at different audiences. The new flow gives you more control: configure each message's targeting individually, test different variants by publishing them independently, and see exactly what's going out before you hit publish.
---
Who Can Access It?
Available to all customers using Messages in the Triptease platform. When you next create a Messages campaign, you'll be taken through the new flow automatically.
---
How Does It Work?
  1. Click "Create Campaign" and select one or more message templates from the refreshed template library.
  2. You'll land on the new campaign builder — a single screen where you can see all your messages with large previews and their current targeting.
  3. Click the targeting button on any message to open the side panel, where targeting is organised into clear tabs. Set targeting independently for each message — including the new location exclude option.
  4. Click the design button to edit any message's creative. You choose which message to edit rather than being dropped straight into the editor.
  5. When you're ready, click through to the review screen for a full overview of all messages and their statuses. From here, publish, pause, or keep individual messages in draft.
---
What’s Included?
  • Per-message targeting — all targeting options are now configurable at message level, not campaign level
  • Per-message lifecycle management — publish, pause, or draft each message independently
  • Location exclude targeting — exclude specific locations from your targeting rules
  • Refreshed template library with multi-select
  • Improved message management screen with clearer actions for adding messages, editing designs, and configuring targeting
  • New campaign review screen with detailed message-by-message overview
  • Tabbed targeting side panel for clearer organisation
---
Are There Any Limitations?
This release applies to Messages campaigns only. If you're creating Date Boost or interest-targeted campaigns on metasearch or paid search, those continue to use the previous flow — we'll bring them over to the new design soon. Existing Messages v2 campaigns have been migrated to the new format. Existing Meta and Paid Search campaigns remain unchanged.
---
How Do I Get Access?
The new flow is available now. When you create a new message campaign, you'll be taken through it automatically. No action needed — it replaces the previous message campaign creation flow.
---
What’s Coming Next?
We're bringing the same simplified experience to off-site channels (metasearch date boosts, paid search interest boosts) next, with the goal of a fully unified campaign creation flow across all channels.
---
FAQs
Will my existing campaigns be affected?
Existing Messages v2 campaigns have been migrated to the new format. Existing Meta and Paid Search campaigns remain unchanged and continue to use the old flow.
Can I have one message live and another paused in the same campaign?
Yes! Each message can have its own status — live, paused, or draft.
Can I target different audiences with different messages in the same campaign?
Yes. All targeting is now per message. Open the targeting side panel on any message to configure it independently.
Can I exclude locations from targeting?
Yes. Open the targeting side panel on any message and look under the Location tab — you'll see the new exclude option.
What about metasearch and paid search campaigns?
Those channels are coming next. For now, the new flow applies to message campaigns only.

What's New?
Hotels can now offer mobile-specific room rates through Triptease on Google metasearch. Mobile rates are configured at hotel level using a rate name or rate code — in the same way member and CUG (closed user group) rates work today.
Why It Matters
Mobile bookings are a growing and increasingly valuable segment. Many hotels offer exclusive mobile rates to compete with OTAs on that device type, but until now Triptease couldn't surface those rates in Google metasearch auctions. That gap is now closed.
Who Can Access It?
Available to hotels connected to Triptease via a
supported API connection
. Support varies by connection type — contact your Customer Success Manager or customersuccess@triptease.com to discuss available booking engine API connectivity.
How Does It Work?
Mobile rate names or rate codes are configured at hotel level by the Triptease team.
What's Included?
  • Mobile rate support in the Google metasearch price feed
  • Hotel-level configuration via rate name or rate code
  • Works alongside existing member and CUG rate configurations
Are There Any Limitations?
  • Mobile rates are not yet supported for Price Match.
    When a mobile rate is present for a search, Price Match will not activate for that itinerary.
  • Only available on supported API connection types. Check with Triptease to confirm your connection.
How Do I Get Access?
If your hotel is on a supported API connection, contact your Customer Success Manager to configure mobile rates for your property.
What's Coming Next?
Triptease plans to extend mobile rate support to additional API connection types.
FAQs
Does this work with Price Match?
Not yet. When a mobile rate is present for a search itinerary, Price Match will not activate. This is a known limitation under active consideration.
How do I know if my connection type is supported?
Ask your Customer Success Manager or contact customersuccess@triptease.com.
How do I configure mobile rates?
The Triptease team will work with you to configure mobile rates.

What's New?
Hoteliers can now add promo codes to messages built in the M2 Creative Builder. Guests see a dedicated promo code block with one-click copy functionality.
Why It Matters
Running promotional offers through on-site messaging previously required workarounds. Hotels can now deliver code-based offers directly in the booking flow without custom development.
Who Can Access It?
Available to all Messages customers using the M2 Creative Builder.
How Do I Get Access?
Available now. Add a promo code block when building your message in the Creative Builder.
