Separate Inbox thread per booking for Booking.com and Vrbo guests with multiple bookings
At the moment, Hostfully Inbox separates the guest's messaging thread per booking for Airbnb and Hostfully channels only. We would like this feature to work with other channels like Booking.com or Vrbo as well, so that it won't cause confusion.
2 votesGreat news! Hostfully now separates the Inbox message thread per booking for Vrbo. This means, when a Vrbo guest re-books your listing, a new message thread will be created so that the guest or you won't be confused with old messages from the past booking.

Provide an AI auto-responder feature for the Inbox
The feature would enable seamless, automated communication by setting up predefined AI responses to incoming messages. Users could configure the auto-responder to trigger under specific conditions, such as during certain hours, when out of the office, or based on message content. The AI would then automatically generate and send replies that align with the user's preset preferences, such as tone or message style, ensuring that all responses maintain the desired level of professionalism or friendliness. This feature enhances efficiency by allowing users to maintain consistent communication even when they are unavailable to respond manually.

Put a star or Dot beside the name in the left column of the Inbox
If I add a note to a guest's Lead Details there is no way to know if notes have been added. If there are any other significant messages or other information that needs to be highlighted there is no way to do it.
Right now at shift change each person has to read every message and look for notes of every guest since their last shift.
If we could turn on a star or color dot next to the guest's name in the left column an admin could quickly scroll down the list and see which guests need attention.

Be notified if you don't response to a lead the initial time.
Airbnb sends reminders if you don’t respond to an inquiry within 24 hours. With Hostfully, there’s no way to mark messages as unread, so if the owner views a lead first, I sometimes miss the opportunity to follow up.

Inbox - extra guest
It would be helpful to have the ability to add additional guests to the communication thread. Currently, only the primary guest receives messages, which means hosts must rely on them to relay information. Allowing multiple guests to be included would improve communication, reduce misunderstandings, and enhance the guest experience. This feature would be especially useful for group bookings or situations where multiple guests are involved in trip planning.

Export number of messages sent/received per property
It would be helpful to have a way to extract or report on the number of messages sent and received for a specific property. This would allow us to better track communication volume and workload across our listings. Ideally, this data could be filtered by property and time range, and made available for export.

Keep responses to emails in the same thread.
When communicating with a guest, it would be helpful if the guest sees the relevant communication in one thread, instead of each response opening a new email thread.
20 votesCould you please provide more information, and maybe screenshots? We do not understand this request. In the Inbox, all the messages related to a particular booking/guest already appear in the same thread. Thank you.

Ability to choose which guest message to use "Suggest an answer" feature
I find the AI "suggest an answer" very helpful way to commuincate with guests, however one issue I have found is if you don't answer the message from the guest immediately and then in the meantime, either the guest messages again or a triggered message is sent to the guest, the "suggest an answer" cannot be used, which is frustrating as it is a time saver. Is it possible for Hostfully to implement something, like swipe the message you wish to reply to (similar to whatsapp). Thanks.

Sync message edits from Airbnb
When messages are edited in Airbnb only the original version shows in Hostfully. Syncing full edit history is a big ask, but showing the current version should be relatively easy from a product perspective, as long as the data is available from the Airbnb API

SMS or WhatsApp messages should show line breaks
the SMS templates should present with line breaks
16 votesWe will fix this. Now, please note that, while most modern devices and SMS apps will display line breaks as intended, older devices or certain carrier systems may ignore line breaks and display the message as a single block of text.

Task management 'complete' button in the unified inbox
Task management 'complete' button for guest, team messaging.
For example, a potential client with 200 listings based in Australia would like to be able to slightly task manage within the unified inbox. For example, a guest asks to replace something, the team can read the message, take on the task to do the job, and in the unified inbox, be able to mark the job as complete.
