How do I customize my booking confirmation email?

Article summary: The confirmation email sent to your guests is a template you can edit in Email editing: subject, text, layout, tags and attachment, for each language. To send instructions or practical information before arrival, use pre-stay emails instead.

The question

"How do I customize my booking confirmation email?"

The short answer

Edit the template in "Management of my property" > "Configuring my emails" > "Email editing". Select the email to edit (booking origin, reservation status, recipient), then change its subject and text in the editor.

Before you edit: the confirmation email is mainly there to confirm the booking and remind your guest of your terms and conditions. For arrival instructions, access codes or practical information, pre-stay emails are a better fit: they are sent before arrival, at the time you choose.

How to do it

  1. Click "Management of my property" > "Configuring my emails", then "GO TO PAGE" in the "EMAIL EDITING" tile.

  2. Select the email to edit:

    • Communication method: "Email".

    • Booking origin: "Internet" for bookings made on your booking engine.

    • Reservation status: "Confirmed" for the confirmation email.

    • The person addressed to: "Customer" for the email your guest receives ("Hotel" for the one you receive).

  3. Click "Display".

  4. Select the language tab to edit (EN, FR, etc.), then edit:

    • the email Subject;

    • the email Body: text, formatting, images, tables;

    • the tags: the "Tag email subject" and "Tag email body" lists automatically insert booking, guest or property information (guest name, dates, amounts, address, check-in and check-out times, etc.);

    • the attachment, if you want to add one.

  5. Click "Preview" to check the result, then "Save".

Good to know: do not delete the tags that display the amounts and the booking and cancellation conditions: your guest needs to find them in the confirmation. Remember to edit each language your guests use.

What about the property description? The text entered in "Property setup" > "Specific information" > "Description" is shown on your booking engine ("About the hotel" button). It is not added to the confirmation email.
