Communication with your guests

Our tool allows you to communicate with your guests easily!

Centralised inbox

Thanks to our centralised inbox, there is no need to go onto each individual platform to reply to your customers. You can read and reply to all of the messages that you have received directly from the messenger that is integrated into Smily (you will receive a notification to your email address to alert you as soon as you have a new message).

You can also add private notes into your conversations and save message templates :

The inbox is made up of 4 main views:

Open
Closed
All
Spam

You can change the status of a message by clicking on the CLOSE/OPEN or SPAM button in the top right of the thread.

Please note that when you change the status of a message, the change only comes into effect after refreshing the page.

You can also access bookings and information about the client by clicking on the corresponding icons in the top right corner or the thread:

You have the ability to assign messages to any user in your account and to filter your messages by assignee.
