inline Backhouse Release Notes (Latest Version)

Release notes for the latest version of the inline Backhouse – Stay updated on key features and improvements.

Updated this week

v. 8.26.0

Release Date: October 28, 2025

🌟 Feature Enhancement: SMS Sending Policy Update

In accordance with the latest regulations issued by the National Communications Commission (NCC), effective November 1, 2025, all corporate SMS messages sent to Taiwan mobile numbers must clearly indicate the sender information. SMS that fail to comply may be blocked by telecom operators and cannot be delivered.

In cases where customers do not have a LINE account or have disabled LINE Official Notifications, the system will continue to notify customers via SMS. To ensure all system SMS are successfully delivered and comply with NCC regulations, inline will adopt the following two standardized SMS prefixes:

  • System Notifications (e.g., Booking, Queuing, or Order notifications)
    Example: inline Notify:◯◯◯◯◯

  • Marketing SMS (Marketing SMS that require purchasing credits before sending)
    Example: inline 代發:◯◯◯◯◯

This adjustment applies only to Taiwan mobile numbers. Please note that the prefix text will count toward the SMS character limit and affect message length and point deduction. Due to the short transition period before the new regulation takes effect, inline will enhance monitoring during this phase. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.


v. 8.24.0

Release Date: October 21, 2025

🌟 Enhancement: Table Tag Selection Menu Display

For branches with preorder enabled, the customer-facing booking page will now correctly display the Table Tag selection menu, resolving the previous issue where customers could not select a table tag.

After selecting a table tag, the system will show the corresponding available time slots. Once a time slot is selected:

  • Preorder mode: Customers can choose to skip preordering or proceed to select menu items before completing the booking with the selected table tag.

  • Experience mode: Customers will proceed directly to the next step to complete the booking with the selected table tag.


v. 8.24.0

Release Date: Oct 7, 2025

🌟 Enhancements

Booking Availability Settings Refinement: Added One-Time Opening and Scheduled Opening functions, allowing merchants to manage booking availability more flexibly. In addition to manually setting available dates, merchants can now automate the process through these new functions, reducing manual work and preventing missed openings or overlapping time slots.

One-Time Settings

Allows you to open bookings once for a specific date and time, and define the available booking period for that session. Ideal for pop-up events, trial operations, or limited holiday seats.

➡️ Example: Normally, bookings are open for the next 30 days. If you’d like to open bookings for the Christmas period in advance, you can use this function to set it up separately.

Schedule Settings

The system supports multiple automatic opening modes, enabling merchants to plan booking availability according to operational strategies.

  • Mode 1: Daily booking window for the next N days
    The system automatically opens bookings for the upcoming N days every day, continuously extending the booking window.
    ➡️ Example: If set to 30 days, on Oct 6 at 19:10, customers can book up to Nov 4.

  • Mode 2: Open on a fixed date each month for the next N months
    Automatically opens bookings for a set number of months ahead on a fixed date each month.
    ➡️ Example: If set to open on the 1st of each month for the following 2 months, all booking dates for that period will be available automatically, ideal for long-term planning or events.

  • Mode 3: Open twice a month for two booking periods
    Allows two automatic openings per month for different booking ranges.
    ➡️ Example: On the 1st, open bookings for the 16th to the end of the month; on the 15th, open bookings for the 1st to the 15th of the following month, ensuring a seamless rotation.

  • Mode 4: Daily rolling calendar with month-end unlock
    Automatically opens bookings each day for the same date N months later, with automatic adjustment for month-end differences.
    ➡️ Example: On Feb 27, bookings open for Mar 27; on Feb 28, open for Mar 28–31; on Mar 1, open for Apr 1.

  • Number of times seated (as a Host): The number of times the guest’s bookings (as the Host) have been marked as seated by the merchant.

  • Number of times seated (as a Diner): The number of times the guest has been marked as seated as a diner on someone else’s booking.

  • Number of times seated (Total): Number of times seated (as a Host) + Number of times seated (as a Diner)

  • Canceled: Guest as a Host (excluding Agent), the booking status is marked as 'Canceled'

  • No-shows: Guest as a Host (excluding Agent), the booking status is marked as 'No-shows'
