Sharing key code with guests
In order to share the key codes with your guests you must set up Automated Messages that include the code variable. Follow the steps below.
-
Create or edit an automated message to send to guests based on reservation confirmation or check-in. See more information here.
- Schedule at least 20 minutes after reservation confirmation to allow time for the variable to populate.
-
In your message content, use one of the following variables as needed:
-
- {{keycafe_access_link}} - custom variable for Keycafe access link
- {{keycafe_access_instructions}} - custom variable for Keycafe access instructions
- {{key_code}} - default variable for key code only
-
You can view the access link and access instruction details in the reservation under "Extra Information".
If the code was not sent, follow this troubleshooting guide.
