Hoe schrijf ik standaardberichten voor ervaringen en hoe stuur ik deze automatisch naar gasten?

To save time as a host, you can schedule messages to send to your guests automatically. The templates can be personalized with shortcodes, which are placeholders you can choose that automatically fill in guest and Experience details. You can access shortcodes through a drop-down menu when you compose a message. You’ll also have to add the corresponding information for each shortcode to your Experience’s details, or else the shortcode will display as unavailable in the message.

Scheduled messages

Experience shortcodes

The complete list of shortcodes includes:

• Experience name
• Guest first name
• Guest last name
• Directions
• Address
• City
• Confirmation code

Common use cases for scheduled messaging:
