You can create a Workflow or Message Automation to structure a series of automated actions throughout a reservation.
For each workflow, you'll set conditions to determine which type of reservation will initiate it, as well as, create the reservation timeline.
Tip:
Other types of automated actions will be available to add to workflows in the future.
