Fifteen messages you send again and again, filled from the House Guide for your unit. Edit any wording once, fill in the guest's name and dates for each booking, and copy.
These are filled in for each booking and are not kept on this device.
For example, 1 PM.
For the “We found your…” message.
Lines that look like a door code or a password are always left out of every message, so a code never ends up in a guest chat.
