Major Relaunch (2026-03-01)

This update makes the PW-TOOLS calendar faster, more stable, and easier to improve in the future. To ensure a smooth transition, some features will be temporarily paused.

New Features

• You can now download a calendar import file directly from a reservation.
• All sent emails now include hidden unsubscribe information. Clicking the unsubscribe link in an email client will stop all PW-TOOLS emails for that user. This helps improve spam ratings and avoid email provider blocks. The unsubscribe link is also visible in the email footer.

Changes

• Temporarily disabled: creating new calendars
• Temporarily disabled: deleting your own calendars
• Temporarily disabled: downloading feedback as an Excel file
• Temporarily disabled: sending newsletters to participants
• Temporarily disabled: Zapier integration (may be removed permanently if no longer needed)
• Temporarily disabled: inventory feature (may be removed permanently if no longer needed)

Bugfixes

• Files uploaded to a calendar now open in a new browser tab. This prevents users from getting stuck and makes it easier to return to the app.
• Phone numbers are now normalized across the entire app, so phone links work reliably.
• Opening a reservation from the dashboard now automatically switches to the correct calendar if needed.
• Emails are now sent in the recipient’s language, not the language used when the reservation was created.
• The Telegram bot is working again.
