How to set it up

- 03
From then on it runs
On a schedule or when something happens. You can change it in chat at any time.
Every Wednesday at 10:00, send the front desk a list of likely duplicate guest profiles in the PMS: same email address, same phone number, or same name with the same address. For each pair show both profiles with number of stays and last arrival, pairs with an arrival in the next 14 days first. Don’t merge any profiles and don’t change anything.
Step by step in the documentation: Create a report in chat and Schedule a report.
What the result looks like
The report arrives on schedule, wherever your team reads it.
What stays with you
