Shortcodes are placeholders for information. They start and end with "%
", and help you provide a personalized experience to your guests.
With short codes, you can customize your templates with your guest's details, or some information about their inquiry or reservation (such as their check-in date and time).
With shortcodes, messages are more relatable for your guests; using automated messages still works with your hosting style.
When a message is sent, we will always refresh the data from your booking channel to ensure we populate those fields with the most recent data available at the time.
