Send Email templates by category
How to set up automatic email templates based on room type categories.
Table of Contents
You can use room type categories to trigger automated message templates for specific types of bookings.
For example, if your B&B includes a separate campground, you could set up two categories—one for rooms and one for campsites. Then you can send one email or SMS to guests booking a room and a different one to campers.
Requirements:
- Automated emails or SMS by category are only sent if the entire booking belongs to a single category. This means each room type in the booking must belong to one category only, and all booked room types must share the same category.
