What's New

The time setting for check-in and check-out now take precedence over the times in the calendar events. Previously they were used as a fallback for calendars that only provide dates.

FreshBuzzer Professional already offered iCal Sync for Secure Access Codes - now you can also sync your Call-Forwarding numbers the same way. Simply copy & paste your booking calendar and your guests will receive the buzzer calls during their visit.

Regular security updates have been installed.

Speech recognition continues to be a really hard problem to solve for computers. That's why we recommend to use Number Keys over Speech Recognition for Secure Access Codes. However, we just improved the speech recognition to better handle codes starting with a 0.

Access Code Calendar Sync now also supports Airbnb and Hospitable. Syncronize your iCal now to automatically manage Secure Access Codes for each guest.

Regular security updates have been installed.

You can now up/downgrade and change your billing cycle anytime on your account page. Note: this is only available during the trial period for now, but will be extended to active subscriptions soon.

After contacting our hosting company and a server restart, the slow page load times we observed have been resolved. If you do see any performance issues, please contact us.

We're investigating a technical issue that is causing some pages to load quite slowly. The issue has been raised with our hosting provider and will hopefully be fixed soon. We apologize for this and appreciate your patience.

The new iCal sync feature allows automatic management of your Secure Access Codes based on bookings on short-term rental platforms. This is specifically interesting for professional property usage and therefore comes together with a new FreshBuzzer Professional plan. Learn more in our blog post.

Previously access codes could be entered via key number pads as well as speech recognition. Unfortunately supporting both at the same time sometimes causes issues. So from now on, you can choose - depending on the physical buzzer unit in your building - whether FreshBuzzer expects voice or key press input. Configure yours now.

Secure Access Codes are one of two ways to open your front door with FreshBuzzer. But since you're not getting a phone call when they are used, it is hard to know whether somebody uses them to gain access or now. Access Code Logs give you full visibility into when and which codes are used. Learn more in our blog post.

The time zone select field on the user account page was not correctly displaying the user selected time zone. This issue has been addressed and the time zone displays properly. Additionally the list of priority time zones has been shortened for improved usability.

Voicemail can sometimes interfere with your Buzzer - When you are on another call or your phone is off, your voicemail might pick up any call instantly. This won't give anyone else the chance to answer the call instead. Enable Voicemail detection for your parallel Call Forwarding to get prompted to press any number and therefore prevent your mailbox from picking up. Coming to sequential calls soon!

You might want to set up some Access Codes for friends and family but don't like that everyone else is being asked for a code when ringing your buzzer. Tip: disable Access Codes that are not currently needed and when none of them are active, we now skip the voice prompt.
