Opera Cloud Integration Fixes & Updates
Our dedicated team has been working to enhance the functionality and performance the Opera integration while also focusing on identifying and fixing any existing bugs.
We've also had some other big releases for handling Groups, including Batch Updating Group Blocks & Shifting Group Dates. Keep your eyes peeled, we have more exciting updates to come soon!
New and Improved
- Sync Behaviour & Performance— the sync is considerably faster now, especially for large blocks. If a sync fails, the data you entered into Event Temple is not touched. The error is shown and you are able to make any necessary adjustments without needing to redo everything you previously did.
- Sync button— relabeled for clarity to “Fetch from PMS”
- Elastic Setting- Opera Blocks created in Event Temple are elastic by default. Elastic-type blocks allow you to extend a guest in Opera who is a part of the block room allotment to a future date even if rooms are not available in the Allotment for a future date.
- Force overbooking setting- Opera settings now allow you to specify whether group blocks ignore inventory limits in Opera. This is great for sales teams that like to book everything on one room and let their team distribute it accordingly in Opera.
- Long Stays- any length group is now supported
Fixes
- Changing group dates would fail inconsistently
- Group dates would reset after saving
- Changing release date in Event Temple was not updating in Opera
- Status changes were causing blocks to disappear
- Groups with large numbers of room blocks were timing out during sync and failing to push
- Couldn’t edit group if there were pickups
- Groups that were longer than 7 days were having everything after 7 days wiped
- Transaction Code Wiping in Opera (along with numerous other block details)

Groups & GRC
Shift Group Dates
If you need to shift your Group dates
without
adjusting your Booking dates, you now can! Doing so will adjust all the room blocks accordingly.
Note
: if you are extending or shortening the stay, editing the arrival/departure date & then updating the blocks is best practice. Learn more about how to manage Groups, here!
Our Mews integration now supports connecting
multiple accommodation services
. This means customers can now check availability and hold rooms for multiple services based on business segment
This feature is for Mews-integrated customers that has broken down their “Bookable Services” by business segment but tied them to the same underlying rooms. A customer would do this so they can manage different rates and restrictions by business segment, but work with the same underlying set of rooms/inventory.

Batch Add & Update Room Blocks
We are excited to announce the launch of a new feature designed to streamline the group booking process for hotel operators. With this update, you can now batch add and update room blocks for each room type, and occupancy, making it easier to manage reservations for longer stays and multiple room types.
Key Features:
- Bach Add & Update Room Blocks: Set a default number of rooms for each room type (e.g., 10 queen rooms and 5 king rooms) that will automatically reserve those rooms per night for the entire duration of the group stay, or selected nights if needed.
- Easy Adjustments: If specific nights require changes, you can easily modify the room blocks as needed without starting from scratch.
This feature is designed to save you time and enhance your efficiency in managing group bookings. We encourage you to take advantage of these enhancements to improve your booking experience.

Adding a Custom Field is Duplicated Until Refresh
We have fixed a settings issue where a custom field added in one area (e.g., Accounts) would also appear in other areas (e.g., Contacts) until the page was refreshed. Now, the new field appears only in the selected area as intended.
