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 (Pro users only)
- Airbnb (Pro users only)
- Expedia (Pro users only)
- Vrbo
Keep in mind, your Guesty integration email syncs guest messages for specific booking channels and may send you reservation-related notifications — meaning it's not relevant to account-related notifications.
Tip:
