Go Template variables provide great flexibility when creating/managing the Auto Actions. Setup one Auto Action to SETTINGS > GUEST MANAGEMENT > AUTO ACTION and click trigger on "Edit" multiple/all properties/rooms with the property specific details, using the [[Template Variables]]. This removes the need to duplicate your auto actions for each Property. Reducing the ongoing management, multiple copies of the same auto action will require you to edit/modify an existing each auto action or on "Create New Action" to set up a new rather than update one auto action.
'''Auto sending:''' == Setup ==
'''Before setting up an auto action please note<span style="color:'''#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span>To use this function you need to set the system to use your own Email address for outgoing emails under {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT -> OUTGOING EMAIL.
"Booking Source" = "Direct" applies '''Property, Room, Unit''' You can refine the use of the Auto Actions only Action, by specifying if it should trigger on specific properties or all properties/rooms. You can select if it should trigger on All properties, All Owned by, All visible in account or a specific Property. If you select a specific Property then you can also select a specific Room id. It is possible to bookings from your own web site'Exclude' specific Beds24 Room ids, manually added bookings and bookings imported though you can find the API (not Room id from the channel manager)Room Setup. If required, you want to apply and Auto Action only to manually added bookings add your username can also specify specific Offers/Units in Room Types. Send/Exclude Property Groups, this will use the "Referrer" fieldvalues you have entered in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING PAGE > MULTIPLE PROPERTIES > PROPERTY SETTINGS > GROUP KEYWORDS. '''Time'''
== Actions =="Between Booking and Check in" can be used to include/exclude Same day/Near term bookings, set the number of days.
=== Messaging/Email ===Go to Email to create or modify a prepared Email template. Templates can contain [[Template Variables]] to include "Check In From" and "Check In To" use if you have specific information specific relating to the booking in the Emailbookings between these dates, special offers, for example the guests name or the arrival datemajor disruptions etc.
*To send Emails automatically you need to set up your outgoing Email address in SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> OUTGOING EMAIL. '''Booking Source'''
*To send Emails "Booking Source" = "Direct" applies the Auto Actions only to bookings from your own web site, manually open a booking added bookings and go to bookings imported though the API (not the MAIL tabchannel manager). Manual Emails will open If you want to trigger only on manually added bookings add your username in a window, you may send it as is or edit it before sendingthe "Referrer" field.
Some systems have a limit of about 2000 characters for this form of email generation. If the email will not open try reducing the amount of text.'''Booking Conditions'''
If Auto Action Emails are send automatically they are send through your Email server"Group Booking Trigger" - use the (?) context help for the options. You should see "Invoice Balance" - use this on your server. Whether you see it in your Sent box or not depends on your Email programto for payments and reminders.
If Auto Action Emails are sent manually via a link in the "Email Templates" list in the booking Beds24 will first try to send through your Email server. You should see this on your server. Whether you see it in your Sent box or not depends on your Email program.'''Info Codes'''
The easiest way With Multiple Properties, the requirement to do this is usually by reducing have Property specific information in the testing window Messages/emails sent to the smallest necessary and adjusting guest/housekeeping/owner can be achieved using Template Variables. When you create a Property/Room in Beds24, the setup of the trigger condition to Property/Room is held in the most suitabledatabase and can be accessed via Template Variables.For example a trigger that tests all bookings from booking time for 1 year will test many bookings while a trigger that tests only in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) >PROPERTIES >DESCRIPTION, you setup the 7 days before checkproperty specific details. *Property name - can be accessed in template variable [PROPERTYNAME] *Property Address -can be accessed in will test less bookings and perform faster.template variable [PROPERTYADDRESS]
The test tab You will find the full list of the auto action has a button which will show Property Template Variables when you how many and which bookings are being tested by the auto action.go to [[Template_Variables#Property_Variables|Property Variables]]
It is also possible There are additional Property Templates that can be used in Messages/Emails/SMS to specify a booking number and test if the auto action would trigger on guest that booking with some diagnostics information shown to help trouble shootingcan be customised for each Property. Each Property Template can hold customised text that can be used in Auto Actions, Booking Templates, Invoices and Reports.
== Troubleshooting == '''If Auto Actions do not send:''' The list in the "Mail" tab of the booking will tell you why. Common causes are: *Is your outgoing Email address working? Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS-) >ACCOUNT-PROPERTIES >OUTGOING EMAIL and click on "Send Test Email"DESCRIPTION >PROPERTY TEMPLATES you will see the list that are available. *Is your Auto Action set to send automatically? *Is the guests Email address valid ("Mails" tab of the booking)? *Is the booking set to allow Allow Auto Actions ("Mails" tab of the booking)? *Do all trigger events apply to the booking?
'''Delayed trigger of Auto Action:''' See section Performance and testing aboveWhen you create each Room/Unit the information is held in Room/Unit specific template variables.
'''Auto Action is not editable''' To have write access to an auto action an account needs to have write access to all properties to which You will find the auto action applies. This might not be the case if full list of Room/Unit Template Variables when you use sub accounts and the Auto Action is set go to trigger for "All Properties".

== Examples ==You can send a message/email to your guests, confirming their booking date, property details and property contact details. Use the property, room and booking templates to build the message/email in one Auto Action, rather than one auto action per property.
=== Send Emails/MessageThis approach will reduce the ongoing management, update one Auto Action and it will apply to all/SMS selected properties rather than having to guests ===edit multiple auto actions with the same overall message.
Message API messages will be shown in the message tab of the booking and in ===Example 1 - Each property has a different access code for the Channel Message centre. Currently this is only available for Booking.com and Airbnb. main building door ===

*'''Send Message''' = Booking API/Smart EmailThere is no need for a separate auto action due to the front door keycode being different.
If the "Mail & Actions" tab contains a "real" Email address the message ===Example 2 - Housekeeping/Cleaning Team is sent to the guests Email address. If only a masked Email address is available the message sends via the channels API messaging systems if possibledifferent for each Property.===
If no connection Each of your properties has a different housekeeping/cleaning team and you need to a messaging system is available the message will send to the Email address from the "Mail & Actions" tab of them an email with the Emailbooking details for each booking.

*'''HTML box''' - Email will be sentIf you have different teams per room, then use a Room template rather than the Property Template.

===Auto Actions and Subaccounts===
Auto Actions are account functions, i.e. they apply per account.
'''1. Account A ''' (master account or subaccount) in which the auto action was created.
Auto Actions are available according to the "Property" setting in the "Trigger" tab. I.e. either for
*all properties visible in the account (properties belonging to the account, properties available in the account).
'''2. Another account B ''' (master account or sub-account) in which the Auto Action has not been created.
Auto Actions are only available for properties that belong to Account A and have been made available in Account B.
Sets the criteria which have to be fulfilled to start the Auto Action.
"Trigger Time" defines when the action is allowed to start. Once it has started it is allowed to go for the "Time Window" period. When the "Time Window" period has elapsed the auto action stops.
Both "Trigger Time" and "Time Window" are relative to a "Trigger Event" i.e. check-in, check-out, time of booking.
If this does not work it will pop and send through your desktop. In this case you will see it use Booking Info Codes in your Sent boxbookings, you can enter values to include/exclude bookings.
'''Booking Fields''' Select the appropriate fields from the drop down lists. You can also use an AND/OR option. "Template variables" can be used in the fields to generate dynamic values based on the booking. See the options in this section [[Template_Variables#Smart_Logic_Template_Variables|Smart Template Variables]] == Actions == === Messaging/Email ===Go to "Messaging" to create or modify a prepared Email/Message template. Templates can contain [[Template Variables]] to include information specific to the booking in the Email/Message, for example the guests name or the arrival date. *To send messages via the Message API, then enter the text in the PLAIN text box, for emails, enter the text in the HTLM Box. *To send Emails automatically you need to set up your outgoing Email address in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT -> OUTGOING EMAIL. *To send Emails manually open a booking and go to the MAIL/Action tab. Manual Emails will open in a window, you may send it as is or edit it before sending. Some systems have a limit of about 2000 characters for this form of email generation. If the email will not open try reducing the amount of text. If Auto Action Emails are sent automatically they will send through your Email server. You should see this on your server. Whether you see it in your Sent box or not depends on your Email program. If Auto Action Emails are sent manually via a link in the "Email Templates" list in the booking Beds24 will first try to send through your Email server. You should see this on your server. Whether you see it in your Sent box or not depends on your Email program. If this does not work it will pop and send through your desktop. In this case you will see it in your Sent box. ==== Email Attachments ====You can choose to attach an invoice or a booking template as a PDF file to emails sent by Auto Actions.
If you send Emails with pdf attachment (invoice, booking template) to Alias-Email addresses created by channels the channel might block the attachment so it is not delivered to the guest. Ask your channel about their policy regarding this.
You can automatically send SMS messages. Please note that a fee per SMS message applies if this function is activated.
<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 17 "Send an Email in the guests language to an internal Email address" for a way to control the language of the SMS.
=== Booking ===
Go to the tab 'Booking' to set up an auto action which modifies something in the booking.
"Execution" - default is 'One time only' or 'Allow Repeats' This action can run one time only or repeat within the trigger time period.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Emails are always triggered once only regardless of this setting.
=== Booking Info ===
Set up auto actions which automatically add or remove info codes. This is good practice for reporting and also to trigger/exclude bookings from other auto actions.
=== Invoice ===
Automatically Assign Invoice Number. Automatically add /update invoice items or pending payments. Pending payments can use Payment Rules defined in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)->PAYMENTS->PAYMENT RULES.
Invoice changes are applied before the mail is sent.
Create auto actions which trigger a web hook when the trigger conditions are met.
== Performance and Testing Multiple Properties ==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 your trigger is designed to test less than 1000 bookings.
In the Auto action, *'''Plain Text Box''' - will send to channels using "Send Message API" = Internal Only.*"Internal Email Address" = [PROPERTYTEMPLATE5]
You can setup a "Group" for your Properties, this has a number of benefits, including sending/excluding messages/emails to a Group of Properties, view a "Group" of properties in your Calendar and in Reports.
