Host Notifications
By default hosts receive an Email to the Administrator Email address from SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT. Optional additional notifications can be set here:
SMS 1 / SMS 2 : New booking alerts can be sent to two mobile (cell) phones. You may specify whether all new bookings or only new bookings where the guest will arrive very soon are notified via SMS. SMS messages are sent via a commercial messaging service and incur a charge of 20c per message sent. If the balance of your account falls below zero, SMS messaging will be automatically disabled until you bring your account back into credit. Bookings entered at the online booking page and imported by the synchroniser will be notified by SMS if they are arriving within the specified time frame. Bookings entered manually into the system while you are signed-in will not be notified via SMS message.
SMS 1 to Phone Number / SMS 2 to Phone Number: This is the phone number that will receive the SMS notification.
This is a global service and the notifications can be sent to almost any phone in any country. The phone number must contain the full international country code and phone number as it would be dialled internationally but without any leading zeros or other characters (for the international access dialling code such as 00) and use no spaces between the digits. The number must start with the country code. SMS notifications incur a usage charge per message sent even if the message is not received because the number is incorrectly entered or the booking is false or later cancelled.Please make sure the number(s) is correct and capable of receiving SMS messages if you use this service.
SMS Text: This is the text to send in the SMS message. Template variables may be used to include information from the booking. Remember that SMS messages are limited to 160 characters and will be truncated if they are longer than this.
Additional Booking Notification Email: A notification about new booking will be sent out automatically to your e-mail address. An additional customisable notification may be constructed and sent automatically to a second Email address when new bookings occur. Select whether this email should be disabled, sent only for bookings originating on-line at the booking page or for all bookings including those imported by the synchroniser.
Additional Email Address: The Email address to send the custom new booking notification Emails. Template Variables may be used for the subject and text of the email to include information from the booking.
