== General Information ==
An Auto Action is an action which can be programmed to run at a specific time relative to the time of the '''booking''', to the '''check-in''' date or to the '''check-out''' date.
Using 'Group Keywords' you can refine the triggers in the Auto Action to include/exclude properties if the purpose/message in the Auto action needs to be different.
<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> Auto Actions are not designed as real-time actions. They are sent in batches at times so we recommend you set your triggers to allow for this.
== Setup ==
Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT > AUTO ACTION
*To MODIFY an Auto Action, scroll to the Auto Action and click on "Edit", make the changes and click SAVE.
===Setup Outgoing Email Service - Required for sending Emails via Auto Actions===
Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT -> OUTGOING EMAIL and follow the instructions to connect your email address/account to Beds24.
'''Auto sending:'''
The auto action batch process runs multiple times per hour.
Auto Action Emails which are sent automatically by the system are sent from the EMail address of the account that created the Auto Action. This is the account set up in in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT-> OUTGOING EMAIL.
Other files can not be attached. We recommend you use a link to a file you upload to your web site.
===HTML and Templates===
If you use HTML you will need to make sure your code is correct and clean otherwise it might trigger our firewall.
HTML messages created by third party services is often convoluted and might contain critical content. Some tools like https://stripo.email/ or https://www.designedwithbee.com/ that allow you to create your own templates and also provide many templates have tested to work well in Beds24.
=== SMS ===
You can automatically send SMS messages. Please note that a fee per SMS message applies if this function is activated.
<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> SMS can only be used to communicate Information about a current booking. For legal reasons you can not use SMS for marketing purposes including discounts or vouchers.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> The SMS will send in the language of the account, not the language of the booking. Read Example "Send an Email in the guests language to an internal Email address" for a way to control the language of the SMS.
<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> This filter will not apply if you are triggering on a single property.
== Using Smart Logic Template Variables ==
You can use smart logic template variables to trigger auto actions for specific conditions.
If you want to send a message on a specific day of the week :-
1) You need to send a message to remind the guests to put the rubbish bin out for collection on a Wednesday night.
* [IF=:[CURRENTDATE:{%u}]:3:yes|no] will test if the current date is a Wednesday
2) Remind the guest that the cleaning lady will be at the apartment on Friday morning.
* [IF=:[CURRENTDATE:{%u}]:4:yes|no] will test if the current date is a Thursday
%u ISO-8601 numeric representation of the day of the week 1 (for Monday) through 7 (for Sunday)
== Performance and Testing ==
Auto actions will test up to 1000 bookings per cycle, if your trigger condition involves more than 1000 bookings, the next 1000 will be tested on the next cycle etc.
If you require the fastest speed make sure , ensure your trigger is designed to test less than 1000 bookings.
The easiest way to do this is usually by reducing the testing window to the smallest necessary and adjusting the trigger condition to the most suitable.
For example a trigger that tests all bookings from booking time for 1 year will test many bookings while a trigger that tests only the 7 days before check-in will test less bookings and perform faster.
The test tab of the auto action has a button which that will show you how many and which bookings are being tested by the auto action.
It is also possible to specify a booking number and test if the auto action would trigger on that booking with some diagnostics information shown to help trouble shooting.
'''Optimising your auto actions''' You can trigger multiple actions in one auto action,
*send an email/api message to the guest,
*send an SMS, update booking settings,
*add/delete a booking info code,
*trigger a webook,
*add a pending payment,
*update/add/delete a Charge/Payment item,
*assign an invoice number.
There is no requirement to set an individual auto action for each item if they can all apply at the same time.
<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> '''It is not possible to specify a specific time for the auto action to trigger.''' The use of the Trigger time 'Immediate' + 14 hrs (for example) will not trigger the auto action at 2pm local time, this will be the first time the booking could be checked to see if all other conditions are met, and added to the batch for processing.
