Frequently asked questions

Which platforms are supported for messaging?

Guest messaging works with Airbnb, Booking.com, and direct email. Messages from all platforms arrive in your unified inbox. You reply from hejGuide — the guest receives your response on the platform they used.

Do guests need to create an account?

No. Guests access messaging through a magic link — no passwords, no sign-ups. They click the link in their booking email and can message you immediately from their browser.

Can my team see guest messages?

Yes. Team members with appropriate permissions can view and respond to guest messages. You control who has access through role-based permissions.

Are messages available on mobile?

Yes. The hejGuide mobile app includes the full messaging inbox with push notifications. Reply to guests from your phone, anywhere.

Can I send automated messages?

Yes. Use email automations to send trigger-based messages at key moments — booking confirmation, check-in instructions, welcome message, checkout reminder, and feedback request.

Is messaging included in the free plan?

Direct email messaging is included in all plans. Airbnb and Booking.com messaging (via the channel manager) requires the Starter plan or above.
