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.

Import Airbnb messages only when a property is turned "on" in Airbnb Channel
Right now Airbnb messages are coming in sometimes when a property manager imports a property from Airbnb, even if they have not turned that property to “on” in the Airbnb channel.
Another case is that, when a PM connects to an Airbnb account but only imports and manages one, not all, listings in that account. Nevertheless, Airbnb messages from other listings not managed by them show up in Inbox without property and reservation details.
We would like for Airbnb messages to only start appearing in the Inbox when the property managers goes to Channels / Airbnb and turns “on” that…

SMS or WhatsApp messages should show line breaks
the SMS templates should present with line breaks
6 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.

AI for internal use
Make the new AI feature available to owners/internal users as well. There are many times a new hire (or someone dealing with a new property) would love to ask questions vs look up in a specific tab on the sheet. Or even text the questions while they’re on the go. Basically the same feature but accessible to internal users, not just guests. This way property managers out at 1 property, getting a question about something on another property - a quick English text to get an English answer (instead of relying on a human help desk) is SO much easier…

Ability to adjust the tone of AI suggested responses in the Inbox
A software feature allowing users to adjust the tone of AI-suggested responses in a messaging inbox would enable users to modify the style and formality of automated replies to better suit the context of their communication. This feature could offer a range of tone options, such as formal, friendly, concise, or casual, which users can select from a dropdown menu or adjust via sliders. Once a tone is selected, the AI instantly rephrases the suggested response to match the desired tone, allowing for real-time preview and customization. This tool enhances communication by ensuring that AI-generated messages align with the user’s…

Select the most recent reservation to send messages to Vrbo Inbox for returning guests
it is a design choice, we do not match threads with reservation but guests, and not direct relation to leads. But as an improvement we may select the most recent reservation to send message

Allow user to make multiple selections per Inbox filter
We have different departments that handle guest messages at different points in time throughout a guests' "stay". For example:
- Reservation Specialist handles messages and booking modifications prior to a guests' stay.
- House Manager handles messages from guests in-stay
- Vacation Designer handles messages from booked guests and in-stay guestsThe inbox should allow the user to make multiple selections in the status and channel filters so that they can focus on the messages that apply to their work. These filters should save until the user changes them (use "apply filter" and "clear filter" logic, similar to the calendar)

Keep old Vrbo thread even changing email address
At the moment, for Vrbo bookings, when changing the email address, it generates a brand new thread without any past conversations, making it hard to track past information. We'd like to keep the old Vrbo thread on Hostfully inbox, even when the guest email was changed

Have Booking.com message with early checkin request supported in Hostfully inbox
I would like to have the message with early checkin request from Booking.com guests showing up in Hostfully inbox so I can manage them in one place. Currently, it shows in Booking.com inbox, but Hostfully inbox.
There is an original message from the guest, and that does not appear in the Inbox. It seems like it may be related to a special request (about an early check in)
"I'd like to request check-in at x - x (checkin date). Is it ok?"

Allow to have sound notification for inbox tab
On web browsers, It's difficult for us to keep up with new messages since we don't get notified when we receive them. It would be helpful if we could get a sound or push notification even to aware about the message.

Inbox Easier View / Navigation
Inbox > Toggle guest names on left - when you reach the bottom of the list - you need to scroll up to check the messages.
My suggestion is - that the list of guest names should have a separate column for browsing up and down and not the page itself. This will give the user an easier view of the new messages or the topmost messages of each guest

Add a new "contact" filter in Inbox page
Currently, the Property managers (PM) can see all conversations: PM <> Guest, PM <> Owner, PM <> Service Provider.
However, there's no "Contact" filter in the Inbox to help direct us to the correct threads among PM and Owner, Service Provider.1 vote -
Ability to add a chatbot to inbox
Ability to add a chatbot that would intercept messages from guest and offer them immediate responses to their inquires 24 hours a day which would vastly increase customer service and response time taking pressure off the host to be under the gun responding to guest.

Describe reasons for errors when messages fail in the Inbox
It looks like we had an Airbnb message that may have errored because the word "google" was in the message and it was not yet a confirmed reservation. The error message would be more helpful if it describes what the problem is.

Display the error message more clear so it's understandable.
When I accepted Airbnb booking request from Inbox, the lead status in Hostfully did not change. So I tried to accept it again and got the error message "AxiosError: Request failed with status code 400".
After checking with Support, we figured out it's because payment was pending from guest.
So if the message is made more clear for future errors, it would be more understandable and helpful.

Display template picker in Inbox for Vrbo inquiries
When I receive a Vrbo inquiry, it shows in Inbox as a guest message, which is not linked to any lead (since no checkin/checkout dates are provided) - that's by design. I want the template picker in Inbox to display in this user case so that I can pick any templates and communicate with guests.
