Adding variables to automated messages

You can add variables to automated messages to personalize messages according to guest needs and streamline their reservation experience.  

Check which variables can be added to an automated message and how they are populated when the message is sent. 

Variables can also be added to messages sent from the Guesty Inbox or when creating templates for saved replies, or auto responses. For auto reviews, you can only add the following variables: {{guest}}, {{guest_first}}, and {{listing_address_city}}.  

Important:

  • A variable will not work if it is added within another variable.  For example, you can't combine {{checkin listing_address}} as these are separate variables. 
  • If you use a variable in an automated message but the corresponding custom field was deleted, the automated message will not be sent.
  • You can use custom fields with a "Yes/No" field type as a sending condition.
