-
Assign departments to users on the Company page:

page so the correspondent user section gets notified when their department receives a ticket. Click here for more information on departments.
- Ensure all users have their assigned department on the Whistle Company
-
Manage Rooms and room groups to send tickets (optional):
-
In the Rooms settings, all rooms configured in your Cloudbeds PMS will be automatically imported to Whistle for Cloudbeds. On this page, you can create extra rooms and room groups to assign a ticket to multiple rooms. Click here to learn more.

Room updates will sync once every 2 hours.

When I create a ticket & check list for housekeeping to clean a cabin, I enter a start & finish date & time.. why does that not reflect on the housekeepers view? They don’t see the date the room needs to be cleaned.
Hello, Melanie Schaubhut!
Thank you so much for reaching out!
Please contact our Support Team with the corresponding details for dedicated assistance with this request. The team can take a closer look and assist as soon as possible.

The whole ticketing system is unusable if you don't want your employees to see your financials. The permissions settings in whistle don't work so your housekeepers can see everything the admin can. I notified Cloudbeds about this over 2 months ago and there is still no fix.
You can try to set up a houskeeper account in Cloudbeds and Whistle. Then click the three-line menu and select payments: All your financials are exposed to your cleaners.
Please fix this so Whistle ticketing can be used!
If anyone has a different “work around” regarding scheduling maids to clean rooms more than a day in advance please post it! I have been creating tickets for this too, but as an admin, when I look at the OPEN tickets, I can’t see who is assigned to each room so I have to open each ticket to get that INFO. Therefore I don’t schedule too far in advance.
