The Contacts category represents all of your guests and potential guests. You can add new contacts and edit existing contacts in Guesty.
When a reservation is made — whether through an external booking site, Guesty Booking Engine, Guesty Websites, or recorded manually in Guesty — the guest's details are automatically saved to the contacts list.
You can use "Contacts" to view the contacts' reservations and their activity log, which tracks all updates made to their contact profiles, as well as, create custom contact reports.
Before you begin
- Contacts can't be deleted since they're linked with reservations and other data
If there is a case where you need a contact to be deleted, contact us. - You can set a primary contact number for your guests and other phone book contacts
- You can add guest tags while updating your guest's details. Choose one or more of the following tags: "Blocklisted", "Friends and family", "Management", "Staff", "Loyalty Program", and/or "VIP". These tags can be used as reservation report filters.
