Leaving Hostaway because of the 2% booking fee?

Post Stay Email

This support article is out of date. For more current and complete instructions, please see the Trigger Examples support article.

Here's a post stay email template courtesy of Roger of mauioceanfrontsunsets.com.  (For other examples of email Templates, check out the Email Template Library - Overview.)

For the personalized touch, he recommends personalizing each email sent with details about the booking and guest interaction rather than using a trigger to automatically send the email. To do this, create the email template in OwnerRez to take advantage of the mail merge fields, but use the Send Email Now button in the booking and switch to the post stay email template you created.

To use this template, change the [review link] to point to the listing site you'd like them to review on, and the [Facebook page link] to point to your Facebook page. If you've got multiple properties, you can use custom fields to make the links update automatically based on property. Here's an article about custom fields and email templates. If you're using the template from a non-OwnerRez system, you'll also have to update the various mail merge fields.
