How to configure automated messages

Each listing's automated messages can be configured independently. Select a listing on the calendar then select Automated messages. Here you'll see a number of set automated messages which you can enable and edit.

These are the automated messages you can enable and edit:

1. **New Booking**\

Sent when a booking is confirmed (sent within 10 minutes of booking)

2. **1 week before check-in (based on check-in time)**\

This message gets sent out if the guest books less than 7 days before check-in, but not if they book on the day of check-in.

Sent 72 hours (3 days) before check-in (based on check-in time)
