iGMS adds monthly revenue goals that discount unbooked nights automatically

iGMS has shipped its August product update, and the headline item is Monthly Revenue Goals. You set a minimum revenue target for a calendar month on an Airbnb listing, and iGMS discounts unbooked nights on its own until you get there.

The update was published on 15 September 2026.

Monthly Revenue Goals

The mechanism is more careful than a blanket discount, and the detail is what makes it usable.

Once you set a goal for a month, iGMS applies discounts on unbooked nights for longer stays. It does not touch your short-term nightly rates, so your headline price for a two-night weekend stay stays where you put it. If confirmed bookings already meet the month's target, no extra discounts are applied at all.

That last condition is the important one. It means the feature stops working against you in a strong month, which is the failure mode of most automated discounting.

This is still a system making pricing changes without asking. Before you set a goal, be clear about what number you actually want to hit, because the system will discount toward whatever you type in. A target set optimistically high will produce discounts you did not intend on nights that might have sold anyway.

Repeating messages during a stay

The second new item is an automated messaging trigger called "During stay, repeat". Until now an automated message fired once per reservation. This one sends a template more than once during a single stay.

You control the cadence in one of two ways: specific weekdays, or a fixed number of days between sends counted from check-in. You also set the time of day. It only fires between check-in and check-out.

The obvious uses are mid-stay check-ins on longer bookings, recurring housekeeping reminders, and weekly instructions for monthly stays. The obvious risk is equally clear. A message that reads fine once reads badly on its fourth appearance, so anything set to repeat needs to be written for repetition.

Owner statements

Owner Statements picked up several changes that matter for managers billing owners.

Commission rates can now be set separately for short-stay and long-stay bookings. Statements can show a custom property name and address. Headers no longer list taxes with a zero balance.

You can also choose to reduce basic-commission revenue by pass-through taxes, and CSV exports now carry two extra columns with pass-through tax detail. Commission rows for platforms you do not use no longer clutter the model description, and a tooltip explains the minimum fee setting.

Split short and long stay commission is the one to note. If you have been applying a single rate across both and adjusting by hand afterwards, that adjustment can now live in the system.

Inbox and fixes

Message templates can be searched by name and filtered by category, and your last search and filter are remembered next time you open the panel. Categories are set in a template's own settings. If you maintain a large template library, this is the change you will feel daily.

Two fixes are worth knowing about. In Expenses and Adjustments, the Status filter no longer bounces you back to Owner Statements. And in the Reservations report, Base Price and Expected Payout for Booking.com reservations were understated whenever a property had an exclusive city or tourist tax, because that tax was being wrongly subtracted from the base price.

That second one is a reporting accuracy bug, not a cosmetic one. If you have a property with a city or tourist tax and you have been reading Booking.com payouts out of the Reservations report, your past figures were too low. Worth a look before you rely on that history for a forecast.
