Transform your guest communication with Zapier
Zapier helps you build more reliable guest communication without adding more manual work. Send booking messages, route guest replies, and keep stay updates moving—and that's just the start.
Booking messages
Keep every booking message on time
Automate booking confirmations, arrival notes, and pre-stay outreach the moment a reservation is created. Zapier can move booking details from Mews, Checkfront, or Hospitable into Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or ClickSend SMS for fast guest communication. That means fewer missed touchpoints and a smoother guest experience from the start.
Booking confirmation messages
Send confirmation emails or texts as soon as a reservation is created, so guests get immediate reassurance without staff stepping in.
Pre-stay reminder flows
Schedule reminders before arrival with check-in times, directions, or house details pulled from your booking data. Guests show up informed, and your front desk spends less time repeating basics.
Arrival instruction delivery
Route check-in instructions through Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or ClickSend SMS at the right moment before arrival. Every guest gets the details they need without a last-minute scramble.
Personalized welcome outreach
Use booking fields like stay dates, property, or guest name to tailor each welcome message automatically. Communication feels personal even when volume rises across vacation rental and hotel operations.
Calendar-based send rules
Launch messages from Google Calendar or booking events when arrival windows shift. That keeps guest communication aligned with the latest schedule, not an outdated template.
