=Send and receive messages ==
You can get communicate with VRBO uest directly from Beds24. This function works for:
*Confirmed bookings
*Inquiries/Requests - if you receive a message from a potential guest inquiring Beds24 will create a request booking. If the request turns into a confirmed booking the status will automatically change. If you want to automatically cancel requests which do not turn into confirmed bookings you can set up an [[Auto_Actions|Auto Action]] to automatically cancel the booking after a certain period.
You can view all messages from the "Messages" component on the DASHBOARD and individual communication from the "API Messages" tab in the booking.
To use this function you should:
1. Add the component "API Messages" to your [[:Category:Dashboard|DASHBOARD]]
2. To send Auto Action Emails via messaging set "Send Message" on the "Messaging" tab in the Auto Action to one of the API options. We will remove the HTML from the message because VRBO does not support HTML. You have the option to add a plain text message for this purpose.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> If you have moved the booking to a different room (manually or via dependencies), then ensure that both properties/rooms are connected with the same Airbnb account, otherwise this function will not work.
