Automated messages the automated messages icon

Click this icon to view the reservation's automated messages. You can toggle on or off Guest auto messages to activate or deactivate the feature.

This section appears after confirmation and displays messages sent to guests. Use the toggle to disable individual messages.

The widget displays the following information:

  • Automation name.
  • Trigger condition.
  • Communication method.
  • Scheduled date and time.
  • Expiration date and time.
  • Message status (conditions met or pending).
  • Error messages.

The widget organizes message status under the Scheduled and History tabs.

  • Scheduled: A "Condition(s) pending" label indicates messages waiting for conditions.

  • History: Sent messages display and unsent messages display with the failure date and reason.

Click See more to view the automation name, conditions, and status.

Note:

Guesty checks sending conditions right before the message is scheduled to send. The status updates to "Met" only during that final check, even if the condition was met earlier.

You can also perform the following actions in the widget's Automated messages section:

  • Click the expand icon to view or edit the message automation configuration.
  • Click Copy text icon to copy a message. Use this to resend messages.
    • Paste as HTML for email.
    • Paste as free text for SMS or booking channel messages.
  • Preview messages with or without variables. Toggle on Show variable values to see the final message.
    • Available in the Inbox widget only.
  • Click Send Now to send immediately. This one-time action prevents the message from sending at the original scheduled time.
    • The user who clicked Send now appears in the History tab.

If a reservation has no automated messages, the toggle at the top of the widget remains off. It activates when you add a message.

If a scheduled time passes before confirmation, the message is sent immediately upon confirmation. For example, a message scheduled 1 day before check-in sends immediately if the reservation is confirmed 8 hours before check-in.

Automated messages expire under the following conditions:

  • Check-out-related messages expire 7 days after the scheduled time.
  • Other messages expire at check-out.
