How to Report an Issue Effectively
We want to help you as quickly as possible whenever you experience a problem. You can make the process much faster by following a few key steps when submitting your support request.
1. Provide Clear and Detailed Information
To resolve issues efficiently, our team needs to be able to replicate the problem in your account. Please include the following details in your message:
- Where the issue occurs: Specify exactly which section of ReservationKey you were in (e.g., Reservations, Calendar, Reports).
- What you clicked or entered: Describe the steps you took leading up to the issue.
- What happened: Provide a short but clear description of the problem or unexpected behavior.
Example:
“In the Reservations tab, I searched for guest John Smith, clicked into the reservation, and tried to edit the arrival date, but the page did not save my change.”
2. Include the Reservation ID (If Applicable)
If your issue involves a specific reservation, please include its Reservation ID number.
- You can find the Reservation ID in the upper-left corner of the reservation details screen.
- The same number also appears in the header area of the reservation window.
Example: “Reservation ID: 1234567”
3. Include the URL of the Booking Page
If your issue occurred on a public booking page, please include the full URL from your browser’s address bar.
- This helps us know which reservation page was being used, especially if you have multiple pages.
- You can also mention whether the problem occurred on the Availability View or the Calendar View.
Example URL:
https://secure.reservationkey.com/yourproperty/availability
4. Send Screenshots
Screenshots are extremely helpful for diagnosing issues quickly.
How to take a screenshot (Windows)
- Use the built-in Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch app.
- Click New, then select the area of the screen you want to capture.
- The image is automatically copied to your clipboard.
- In your email or message to support, press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot directly.
No need to save or attach a separate image — just paste it right into your message body.
5. Summary Checklist
- ? Describe exactly what you were doing and what went wrong
