Manage all your past, present, and future guests in one place with the Manage Guest Profiles module. Here's what you can do:

  • Search for guests

  • Merge guests with multiple entries into a single contact

  • View all past, present, and future reservations or quotes for a guest

  • View and comment on communication history

  • Enter and store notes about a guest

  • Create marketing categories to apply to guests (repeat guest, snowbird, VIP, etc.)

  • Add new leads

  • Import leads from an external leads list (a template spreadsheet is provided)

  • Import leads to a specific marketing category

  • Create a new reservation for an existing guest

Where to go

To access your database of guest records, go to:

  1. Communications

  2. Manage Guest Profiles

Search for a guest

To search for a guest, type their name or email address in the search bar at the top of the screen and click "Search." The grid will display all guests and leads that match your search criteria. To load all guest records, simply click the "Search" button without applying any search criteria.

Create Persona Categories

Assign personas to guests and leads to organize and group them. For example, you could create the following categories:

  • Hot Lead

  • Cold Lead

  • Snowbird

  • VIP Guest

  • Sports Team

You can use personas in Automation Rules to create targeted emails for specific groups of guests. For example, you could send a marketing email to your Hot Leads encouraging them to book with your summer promo code, or email your VIP guests with a special offer.

To create a new persona, click on the "Persona" button above the grid:

From the popup window:

  1. Click the "Add+" icon

  2. Type the name of the persona

  3. Click the "Save" icon

Assign a persona category to a guest

In the grid, select the "Category" column and click in the field to open the dropdown menu. Select the category you want to assign to each guest.
