Overview
Conversations is a new place in Amenitiz to read and reply to your guest messages, starting with Booking.com. It shows each message next to the guest's booking, so you have everything you need to reply without switching screens.
Next to every conversation you can see:
Who the guest is: name, email and phone
What they booked: dates, room, occupancy and any balance still owed
Your notes and their stay history
Conversations is in Beta. It sits alongside your usual OTA Inbox, so you can use whichever you prefer.
Before you start
Your property is connected to Booking.com. Conversations currently shows your Booking.com messages.
Conversations is in Beta and is being rolled out gradually, so it may not appear in every account yet.
