We’ve made some exciting updates to our Auto-Reply capabilities that makes communicating with guests even easier! There are also some new partners worth checking out that are now listed in our Apps page. 

Inbox AI

Auto-Reply and Suggest with AI has access to new data

  • We now train it with detailed knowledge about security deposits, trip insurance, and financials for each reservation
  • It will accurately answer guests’ questions about their deposit timeline and status
  • It knows whether trip insurance is available or has been purchased, including the details about purchase price, date, certificate number, coverage dates, and coverage amount
  • It understands the reservation financials that are in the conversation sidebar, such as the breakdown of fees, discounts, and taxes

Fallback messages for Auto-Reply

  • You can set a custom message to automatically send to guests when Auto-Reply is unable to generate a response due to unsupported topics
  • This helps avoid awkward gaps in conversation and set clear expectations for guests
  • You can control and customize this in the Inbox AI settings under Guest Experience

Direct

Earning reports and 1099-K forms are available

  • Your 1099-K forms are now generated and available for review before filing at the end of March
  • You can easily access your 2025 earning reports through the Settings tab
  • Tabs for different years make it simple to view and track earnings

Custom meta-tag for Google Vacation Rentals support

Messaging Rules

Color coding for clearer shortcode usage

  • New color coding for shortcodes in messaging rules: green for available, purple for custom, and red for valid but unavailable
