      Automated Thank You Emails

      A ‘Thank You' email is a great way to let your guests know that you appreciate their feedback.

      Having this automated means that you don’t have to respond to every guest’s survey, unless you need to go over specific points in their feedback with them.

      This article relates to:

      • CORE
      • PRO
      • GROUP

      Once your thank you mail is activated, it is sent to your guests:

      • Immediately after a guest completes their survey, 
      • Immediately after you manually mark a survey complete, or 
      • Ten days after the guest starts completing the survey, in the event that they don’t finish it

      Note: Unless they are unsubscribed, all guests who start the survey will get a thank you email, but we still recommend responding personally to unhappy guests. Take a look at these examples of good (and not so good) management responses 

      In this article, we will show you how to activate your automatic Thank You emails.

      Top Tip: use your thank you mail to encourage repeat bookings

      Various data protection regulations (such as the GDPR, CCPA, and POPI Act) make it a bit risky to include marketing material in your emails unless the guest has specifically opted into marketing communication. You can, however, thank guests for their feedback and encourage loyalty at the same time. 

      Some ideas to consider: 

      • Offer a discounted rate when they book direct, for example you could include a code in the mail that they use when booking on the website. If you use a unique code you can track the impact this is having on direct bookings  
      • Can’t put in a code? Just ask the guest to call instead 
      • Add your website link to the Thank you mail. This makes it easy for the guest to navigate to your website and rebook straight away
