Send Images and Text Together to Airbnb Inbox
Currently, images and text must be sent separately, which makes communication less efficient and can cause confusion for guests. Being able to include both in the same message would improve clarity, streamline conversations, and enhance the overall guest experience

Enable Keyword Search in Inbox
Currently, the inbox search on Hostfully only allows searching by guest name or email. It would be incredibly helpful if users could also search by keywords within the conversation history.
There are many situations where we may not remember a guest’s exact name or email, but we can recall specific words, details, or phrases from the conversation. Being able to search by any keyword written in a message would:
Greatly improve efficiency in finding past communications
Save time when retrieving important details
Provide a smoother workflow for property managers
Benefit not only our company but also other users who face…5 votes -

Inbox Clutter & Broken "Unread" Filter: Need Ability to Hide System Auto-Messages
The client needs to hide automated messages from their main inbox.
The problem is twofold: 1) these messages clutter the view and make it difficult to find messages from actual guests, and 2) the "Unread Only" filter doesn't work across teams, because if one agent sees a message, it's marked as read for everyone, negating the filter's effectiveness.Please provide an option to archive/separate these automated messages or to have the "read" status be individual for each agent.

Analytics for Message Response Time
We’d love to see a feature that provides insight into message response times within Hostfully. Specifically, we’re aiming to respond to 100% of guest messages within 5 minutes, and it would be incredibly helpful to track and measure this performance over time.
Ideal functionality would include:
• Average response time per message
• Percentage of messages responded to within a user-defined time frame (e.g., 5 minutes)
• Filterable data (by property, team member, time range, etc.)
• Visual reporting or exportable data for tracking trendsThis would not only help our team hit internal communication goals but also assist in…

Notes in Inbox View
Best thing would be that when we add things to notes like: guest paid early check-in, i need that to show up on the inbox in the sections shown in the picture below for example. That way these notes will impact the conversation and will be seen everytime we speak with the guests instead of having to go into the reservation details and accessing that info.

notification to host and guest when rental agreement has not been signed.
We need to have notifications sent to hosts when the guest has not signed the rental agreement. We have signature on the rental agreement as a requirement before check in details with the door code can be sent but there is no notification if it doesn't get signed. We want to eliminate the issue of a guest showing up to the property with no way to start their stay. This seems like a simple thing, if it isn't signed, there should be a warning message sent to the host 5 days prior to the stay so we can reach out…

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.

White label hostfully logo in SMS and whatsapp messaging
When we send text messages to potential clients with links to our listings, the Hostfully logo appears instead of our company’s logo.
It would be really helpful if we could update this so that the agency logo logo appears in these communications.
This would enhance branding and make presentations to clients more professional.

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.
