What's New in ComtyLink
We ship new features every month. Here's what we've built recently for Australian building managers.
Showing the last 6 months — ComtyLink has been shipping updates since 2019.
Bond Payment Tracking
When a resident pays a bond for an amenity booking, you can now record the payment details — method, date, and reference — directly on the booking. The bond record updates to show it has been received, giving you a clear audit trail from collection through to refund.
- Record payment method, date, and reference for bonds received
- Bond status reflects payment clearly on the booking
- Works on internal bookings too (no resident required)
Booking Payments
Amenities can now be configured to require a non-refundable booking fee, in addition to or instead of a bond. Record the payment type, date, reference, and amount when creating or editing a booking.
- Configure a payment requirement on any amenity
- Record bank transfer or credit card payments on each booking
- Works alongside the existing bond system, or independently
Maintenance Active View & History
The maintenance list now shows only active work by default — completed and cancelled items move to a dedicated History view. Your active list stays focused on what actually needs attention.
- Active list excludes completed and cancelled jobs
- Dedicated History view for all closed-out work
- Custom statuses can be marked as terminal in Settings
Investment Units: Investor & Tenant View
When a unit is marked as an investment property, the owner now appears in a dedicated Investor card and residents are listed separately as Tenants — no more mixing the absentee owner with the people actually living in the unit.
- Owner shown in a dedicated Investor card
- Tenants listed separately in their own section
- Managing Agent details editable directly from the unit page
Action Logs
A full audit trail of building activity is now accessible from the main menu. See who changed what and when — from maintenance updates to parcel entries — all in one searchable page.
- Filter by 27 activity types
- Click any item to jump to the related record
- Full history across maintenance, parcels, contractor sign-ins, and more
Notice Board: Send to a Specific Floor
When composing a notice board message, you can now filter recipients by floor level. Select Level 3 and only residents on that floor receive the message — no need to manually pick individual units.
- Floor level chips in the recipient filter panel
- Combine level and unit-tag filters together
- Recipient count updates instantly as you select levels
Mobile: Custom Maintenance Statuses
The ComtyLink mobile app now shows your building's custom maintenance status labels and colours — the same names and colour coding you've configured in Settings on the web.
- Custom status labels and colours shown on mobile
- Available when creating or updating a maintenance job
- Custom statuses visible in the mobile filter panel
Resident Request QR Code Poster
Generate a printable A4 poster with a QR code that residents can scan to submit a maintenance request — no app or login required. Customise the headline and instructions for your building, then print and put it up in the lobby or common areas.
- Residents scan and submit from any phone
- Customisable headline and instructions
- Poster downloads as a print-ready PDF
Sequential Maintenance Numbers
Maintenance requests now get clean sequential reference numbers — M-0001, M-0002, M-0003 — making it easier to reference a specific job in conversations, emails, and reports. Numbers are per company, so every maintenance request has a clear, consistent identity.
- Sequential numbers: M-0001, M-0002, M-0003, ...
- Easy to reference in emails and with contractors
- Resident-submitted requests keep the MR- prefix
Asset & Contractor History
Open any asset or contractor and see the full history of maintenance jobs and tasks linked to them. Know at a glance how often a piece of equipment has needed attention, or how much work a contractor has completed in your building.
- Maintenance and task history on every asset and contractor
- Contractor list shows total maintenance job count
- Click any row to open the full maintenance or task record
Contractor Favourite Contacts
Mark one or more contacts on a contractor as favourites — they auto-select whenever that contractor is added to a maintenance job, scheduled task, or recurring task. No more manually picking the same contact every single time.
- Star a contact on the contractor profile to mark as favourite
- Favourites auto-select when the contractor is chosen
- Works across maintenance, tasks, and recurring tasks
Create Bookings from the Availability Calendar
Click any empty day in the availability calendar and jump straight to a new booking — with the date and amenity already filled in. No more navigating away to the booking form separately.
- Click an empty day to see existing bookings for that day
- One click to open the new booking form, pre-filled
- Works for all amenities
Automated Parcel Pickup Reminders
Set a reminder interval (e.g. every 3 days) and ComtyLink automatically emails residents when their parcel is still waiting to be collected. No more manually chasing people — the reminders run daily in the background.
- Configurable interval per building (1–14 days, or disabled)
- Reminders sent automatically every morning
- Tracks last reminder sent to avoid spamming residents
Type a Contractor Name on Quotes & Invoices
You can now type a contractor's name directly on a quote or invoice without needing a full contractor record in the system. Useful for one-off jobs or trades you don't use regularly — just type the name and move on.
- Free-text contractor name on any quote or invoice
- No need to create a contractor record for one-off jobs
- Links to a full contractor record if one exists
AI-Powered Document Filing
Upload a PDF and ComtyLink automatically reads it to suggest the document name, description, and category. No more typing out details manually — just upload and confirm.

- Confidence indicator shows how sure the AI is
- All fields stay fully editable — you're always in control
Unit Details Now Fully Editable
Car space count, storage count, and car space location can now be updated on any unit at any time. Previously these could only be set when a unit was first created — if anything was entered incorrectly, there was no way to fix it.
- Edit car space count and location
- Edit storage count
- Changes logged in the unit history
