Send guest messages and manage reservation notes
Choose the right record
- Use an internal note for staff-only facts needed to operate the stay.
- Use a guest message for confirmed information the guest should receive, such as arrival instructions or a requested document.
- Use a status change only when the booking status genuinely changes; do not use it just to send a message.
Send a safe guest message
- Confirm the guest, reservation, email address, and purpose of the message.
- Write a concise factual message. Include reservation code and contact route; do not include payment-card data, identity-document scans, or information about another guest.
- Attach only approved files, then select the guest-notification/send option where applicable.
- Save and verify the note/message appears on the reservation record.
- Record important promises or service-recovery commitments in the internal handover process.
Resend booking information
- Verify the booking is the correct one and the guest contact address is current.
- Check the reservation’s status, payment state, balance, dates, and room details before resending a confirmation or invoice.
- Use the relevant resend/email action; never copy a previous guest’s message or attachment into another reservation.
- Reopen the record and note that information was resent, including the reason when relevant.
Verify
Review the reservation’s Notes area and the guest-facing booking view, when enabled, to confirm the message is appropriate and no unintended attachment or personal data was disclosed.
