NewEnterprise Plan
🔀 Create your own API apps
Connect Perfect Venue to your own tools!
Organization admins on our Enterprise plan can now create and manage their own API apps in Perfect Venue. Use them to hook Perfect Venue up to the tools your team already uses, like a reporting dashboard or an internal system.
What's new
- A new Apps page. Go to Settings → Apps to see all of your organization's apps in one place, with each app's name, logo, client ID, status and when it was last used.
- Create an app in a few clicks. Add a name, your redirect URLs (they must start with https) and an optional logo.
- Edit or delete anytime. Update an app's name, logo or redirect URLs whenever you want. Deleting an app stops any integration using it right away, so double-check first.
Who can use it
Apps is available to organization admins when at least one venue in the organization is on the Enterprise plan. Your private apps can only reach your venues that are on Enterprise.
- How to set it up
- Go to Settings → Apps.
- Create a new app and fill in the details.
- Copy your client ID and client secret into the tool you're connecting.
- For the technical details, see our API docs. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at mailto:support@perfectvenue.com.
You now have more control on what status changes Perfect Venue makes for you. Go to
Settings > Group Settings
and find the Automation Settings
card. Each automation has its own toggle, and your choices apply to every venue
in your group.- Auto-cancel tentative events.Tentative events are canceled once their event date passes. This setting used to live in each venue's settings. It has moved here, and your current setting came with it.
- Move Confirmed events to Balance Due.One day after the event, a Confirmed event moves to Balance Due if the proposal still has a balance owed.
- Move Confirmed events to Completed.One day after the event, a Confirmed event moves to Completed if the proposal is paid in full.
- Auto-confirm on signature or payment.An event moves to Confirmed once the proposal is signed or a payment is made. This is on by default, since it's how most venues work. Turn it off if you'd rather manually confirm events yourself.
Nothing changes until you change it. The two after-event automations start toggled off, so turn them on if you want them.
Also new: once an event is marked Lost, the guest can no longer sign or pay on its proposal. You no longer need to manually move the proposal action button to "No Action"!

🆕✨Express Book: Spaces Hours & Pricing
Set hours, pricing and menus for each space!
Every space can now have its own Express Book rules. Requests come in with the right times, minimum and fees already on them.
What's new
- Booking hours by day.Choose when each space can be booked. You can add more than one block per day, like brunch and dinner.
- Pricing for each block.Give each block its own F&B minimum and required fees, such as a room rental fee.
- Menus for each block.Choose which menu sections guests can order from in each block.
- Settings for each space.Set event length, booking notice, buffer time, acceptance timeline and policy for each space.
What guests see
Guests can only request times when the space is open. The F&B minimum and any required fees for that block are added automatically.
How to set it up
- Go to **Settings → Spaces** and open a space.
- Turn on custom settings.
- Add your booking hours, then save.
Spaces you don't customize keep your venue-wide settings, so nothing changes until you set it up.

✨ Inbox Updates: Drafts & Archive
We've made a couple of improvements to your inbox to help you stay organized and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
📝
Drafts
You can now access a
Drafts
tab that stores any emails you've started but haven't sent yet. Drafts are saved per user, so you'll only see your own unfinished emails. This makes it easy to pick up where you left off without worrying about losing your work.📥
Archive
You can also now
archive conversations
to keep your inbox focused on the messages that need your attention. Archived conversations are shared at the venue level, so everyone on your team sees the same archived state.Don't worry about missing new replies - if a guest responds to an archived conversation, it will automatically move back into your inbox so it's easy to spot and respond.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to support@perfectvenue.com!
