How to Check Messages
By selecting a message thread, the message content will be displayed on the right-hand side.
You can view order information and availability for other properties by clicking the [⋯] in the top right corner of the message content.
How to Check Unread Messages
Unread messages are displayed at the top of the message list, sorted by the most recent update.
If there are unread messages, a red mark will appear next to the "Messages" menu, showing the number of unread messages.
Additionally, on the message page, unread messages will have a green bar on the left side, with the guest's name and message displayed in bold.
By clicking on a message to view its content, the message will change from unread to read.
※ As of February 2025, there is no feature to mark a message as unread once it has been read.
Sending a Message or Using Private Notes
To send a message to your guest, click the "Reply to guest" button below the main message.
If you're messaging a guest, you can send them from the "Reply to Guest" tab.
The "Add Private Note" option will not be sent to the guest and can be used for notes or information sharing among staff members.
Tag feature
When sending messages, you can use tags just like in automated messages.
For details, see [Message Management] How to use and manage tags.
Template Function
You can also create templates (standard phrases) and use them.
Clicking the "T" mark will take you to the template management screen, where you can add message templates and use saved templates.
Send a Message Directly from Reservation Details
If you would like to send a message to a guest with whom you haven't had any previous communication (i.e. there is no message on their message page), click "Message" in the guest's reservation details.
Editing the Email Address for Message Recipients
If you wish to change the email address for the message recipient, follow these steps:
Go to the relevant guest's reservation details page.
Click on the "..." (three dots) and select "View Guest Info"
Edit the email address as needed.
Translating Messages
In [AirHost HMS ONE (Premium Plan)], there are features to translate received messages as well as messages that you send.
