Guest Messaging

Automated emails that send themselves

Set up a template once — booking confirmed, before arrival, after checkout — and every guest gets it automatically, in their own language, with their real booking details.

Guest Messaging
  1. Automated Templates

    Eight moments, one setup

    Booking requested, confirmed or canceled. Before or after check-in. Before or after checkout. Birthday. Hold expired. Pick the moment, write the email once, and it fires for every guest who reaches it — no one has to remember to send it.

    • Fires on 8 booking-lifecycle events
    • Before/after check-in and checkout
    • Runs per accommodation type
    • Sent in the property’s own voice

  2. Merge Tags

    Real booking data, not placeholders

    Every template pulls straight from the live reservation — plus a few links no other hostel PMS gives you.

    • Claim-booking link

      {{claim_link}} lets an OTA guest with a masked email claim their booking with any address of their own.

    • Online check-in

      {{registration_link}} sends guests to a form for passport, nationality and arrival time.

    • Arrival survey

      {{survey_link}} lands answers on the booking, the guest profile, and property stats.

    • Balance & folio

      {{reservation.balance_due}} and {{reservation.total_amount}} always match the real folio.

Common questions

What language does the guest actually get?

Whatever the guest prefers, or your property's default if none is set. Write one template with a full English and Spanish version, and Travel404 picks the right one per guest automatically.

Can I limit a template to one room type?

Yes. Leave it unscoped and it fires for every accommodation type, or restrict it to just dorms, just privates, or one specific type.

What about a guest who booked through an OTA and has no real email?

The {{claim_link}} merge tag still reaches them — it lets an OTA guest claim the booking in the Travel404 app with any email address, even when the OTA masked the original one.

Can I send something manually instead of on a schedule?

Yes — set the trigger to "No event" and the template becomes a one-off you send by hand from the booking.
