Feedback Needed on Automated Messages
For the property my wife and I bought/took over, I looking to update the automated messages for guest. Currently we have one sent out at the time of bookings with a thank you and parking instructions. Below are some thoughts I have on messages to start sending to guest. I would love any and all feedback on the topics and frequency of these messages.
