=Confirmation Messages for Direct Online Bookings from the Booking Page=
Email confirmation messages are automatically sent to all bookings made on your own web site but not for manually added bookings and bookings from channels which send their own confirmation (almost channels) and do not require Beds24 to send an additional one (for example Tripadvisor).
By default Emails to guests are sent from Beds24.
If you do not want to use your own email address they will be sent from the system email address. To change your settings go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) ACCOUNT > OUTGOING EMAIL. [[:category:Sub_Account|Sub accounts]] can be used to use different outgoing email addresses for multiple properties in one account.
