The Guesty Inbox is your central hub for guest communication, helping you and your team stay aligned and respond faster. 

The inbox displays unread threads first, followed by guest messages in reverse chronological order. Messages received via message automation or from internal users won’t move a thread to the top or mark it as unread unless they initiate a new conversation. When any team member reads a message, it’s marked as "read" for everyone, avoiding duplicate replies and keeping your communication efficient.

Find specific conversations quickly by using filters. Note that filters only apply to your current view and won't affect snoozed or archived messages.

Important:

  • Conversations for imported reservations are archived automatically. Contact us to unarchive them in bulk.
  • The inbox doesn't support viewing videos. Forward videos as attachments to view them on an external platform.
