Hi there,

We've expanded the Rentopian Open API with several new endpoints, making it easier to build integrations that work with your clients and inventory data.

What's New:

- Client search endpoint — search clients by company name, contact name, phone, or email

- Inventory listing endpoint — retrieve products, categories, and brands

- Validation improvements and naming consistency across existing endpoints

Who This Is For:

This update is for developers and teams using the Rentopian Open API to build custom integrations, connect third-party tools, or automate workflows.

Benefits:

- More complete API coverage for client and inventory data

- Better validation makes integrations more reliable

- Consistent endpoint naming reduces integration complexity

- Click on the product image

- Select Optimize with AI from the image menu

Benefits:

- Consistent, professional-looking product images across your catalog

Hi there,

A fix has been applied to ensure delivery dates in dispatching exports are pulled from the correct field. Exported dispatching data now accurately reflects the delivery date type set on each order.

What's New:

- Dispatching exports now correctly read from the delivery_date_type field when populating delivery dates

- Resolves cases where the wrong date was appearing in exported dispatching reports

Benefits:

- Exported dispatching data matches what you see in the system

- More reliable data for external use, driver sheets, and logistics planning

Hi there,

Finding what you're looking for just got easier. The global search now supports partial word matching on multi-word queries, so you don't need to remember exact full names to find a result.

What's New:

- Searching a partial multi-word phrase (e.g., "Pablo Pimen") now returns results that match the full name ("Pablo Pimentel")

- Numeric-only prefixes are excluded from partial matching to avoid false matches

- Works across client names, company names, and other searchable records

How to Use It:

- Use the global search bar as you normally would

- Type a partial name or phrase and results will match even if the words aren't complete

- No settings to change — this works automatically

Benefits:

- Find clients and records faster even when you only remember part of the name

- Reduces failed searches from minor spelling gaps or incomplete recall

- More forgiving search experience for your whole team

Hi there,

You now have more control over when custom tax rates take precedence over automatically calculated ones. Individual tax rates can now be flagged to override ZipTax auto-tax for specific addresses.

What's New:

- A new Allow Override Auto Tax flag can be set on individual tax rates

- When enabled, orders matching that rate's location will use your custom rate instead of the ZipTax auto-calculated rate

- Useful for locations where you have negotiated or agreed-upon rates that differ from auto-tax results

How to Use It:

- Go to Settings > Tax Rates and open a tax rate

- Enable the Allow Override Auto Tax option

- Save — orders at matching locations will now use this rate instead of ZipTax

Benefits:

- Maintain accurate tax rates for locations where auto-tax doesn't match your actual obligations

- No need to manually adjust tax on every order for affected locations

- Full flexibility — only the rates you flag will override; others continue using auto-tax

Hi there,

The contract signing modal has been redesigned to make the signing process smoother and more intuitive for your clients. Everything they need is now visible at once — no more switching between tabs.

What's New:

- Signature and Initials fields now appear side by side in a two-column layout instead of in separate tabs

- The Confirm button is only activated once all required fields are filled in — preventing accidental incomplete submissions

- The signature canvas now scales properly across different screen sizes and devices

How It Works:

- Clients access the signing page as usual via their contract link

- Both the signature and initials fields are visible immediately in a single view

- The Confirm button becomes active only after all required fields are completed

- Clients draw their signature and initials directly in the fields — no change to the process itself

Benefits:

- Faster signing experience — clients see everything at once

- Fewer incomplete submissions from clients who miss the initials tab

- Better mobile and tablet compatibility with improved canvas scaling

Hi there,

Products configured with a one-per-transaction restriction are now fully enforced on orders. If a set item is only meant to appear once per order, the system will make sure that's exactly what happens.

What's New:

- Set items marked as One Per Transaction can no longer be added more than once to the same order

- The quantity field for these items is locked to 1 and cannot be increased

- Attempting to add a duplicate is blocked automatically

How to Use It:

- This setting is configured at the product level — go to Products, open the product, and look for the One Per Transaction option after marking an item Add-On Only

- Once enabled, the restriction is enforced automatically on all new and existing orders

Benefits:

- Prevents accidental duplicates on orders for items meant to appear only once

- Cleaner order structures for set-based rentals

- Reduces manual review time for order accuracy

Hi there,

You can now attach the Invoice PDF directly to custom outgoing emails — just like you already can with picking and packing PDFs. Sending clients a clean, ready-to-print invoice alongside your communication is now a one-step process.

What's New:

- Can be combined with other document attachments (packing list, picking sheet, etc.)

- No extra steps — select it from the Attachments section and it's included

How to Use It:

- Open an order and click Custom Email in the action options to the left

- In the Attachments section, check the box next to Invoice PDF

- Add any other attachments you need and send as usual

Benefits:

- Clients receive a professional invoice without a separate follow-up

- Consistent with how other PDF documents are already handled

- Saves time by combining communication and billing in one email

Your team can now receive automatic email reminders when a task deadline is approaching — no more checking the system manually to stay on top of what's due.

What's New:

- The system can now automatically send email reminders to assigned users as task deadlines approach

- Reminder emails include the task name, due date, and relevant details

- Works with tasks that have an assigned user and a set deadline

How to Use It:

- Create or edit a task and ensure it has an assigned user and a deadline

- Make sure email notifications are enabled for your account under Settings

- Reminders will be sent automatically as the deadline approaches — no manual action needed

Hi there,

We removed an extra step that was slowing things down. When selecting dates on orders, you no longer need to click a secondary confirmation button after choosing your date — the selection applies immediately.

What's New:

• Date and time fields across orders now apply your selection as soon as you pick the date — no extra confirm click required
• The experience is consistent across all date/time pickers on the order form

How It Works:

• Open or create an order and click into any date/time field
• Select your date from the calendar as usual
• The date is applied immediately — the picker closes and your selection is saved without needing to click "OK" or "Confirm"

Benefits:

• Faster order entry, especially when filling in multiple date fields
• Less clicking, fewer steps — a smoother overall experience
• Consistent behavior across all date fields in the system
