The Ideas Board has been replaced with the Cloudbeds Community, allowing users to have an open space to share ideas, ask questions, and interact with other Cloudbeds users. The previously submitted ideas have been categorized and sent to the corresponding departments for evaluation, and all the new ideas submitted in the Cloudbeds Community will also be reviewed.
While every idea is reviewed on its own merit, a higher vote count helps us in a few key ways:
- Quantifying Impact: It helps our Product team to have an idea of how many different properties or workflows might be affected by the same challenge.
- Contextualizing Demand: High engagement shows us what the community is asking for. Having a high number of votes provides a data point that shows significant community interest.
- Refining the Solution: Often, when more community members vote, they also leave comments about their specific use cases, and they share their experience. This gives us even more context, a 360-degree view of the specific requirement/idea.
In short, more votes don't automatically "win" a spot on the roadmap, but they do help our Product team with the evaluation process.

Hi, I would like to request that you all add an SMS notification feature. For small businesses it would be really helpful to get a text notification in addition to the email notification when a new reservation is made.
