Forwarding booking channel account notifications to your personal email

Some booking channels might occasionally send you account-related emails (e.g., password reset emails, messages from their Support team, etc.).

To receive account-related notifications to your preferred email address, add a forwarding email address directly in Guesty.

The following booking channels support this capability:

  • Booking.com
  • Airbnb
  • Expedia
  • Rentals United
  • Vrbo

Keep in mind, your Guesty integration email syncs guest messages for specific booking channels and is not relevant to account-related notifications.

Tip:
