How to set it up

  1. 01

    Describe the task

    In plain language, the way you would explain it to a new colleague. The description below is a starting point.

  2. 02

    Review the first run

    Discontinue shows you the result before anything runs on a schedule.

  3. 03

    From then on it runs

    On a schedule or when something happens. You can change it in chat at any time.

Description to copy
Check every new reservation as soon as it is created. If it is a suite, longer than 5 nights, or the guest has had more than 3 stays, post a short note with name, arrival and reason to the front desk channel.
