The Customized Shortcuts feature allows hosts to create quick, context-sensitive buttons in the Guest App, giving guests seamless access to important services, upsells, and information.
Instead of relying on banners or deep navigation, Shortcuts provide a polished and streamlined way for guests to:
Access essential info such as Wi-Fi, room key, or access codes.
Discover upsells, posts, and external services at the right stage of their journey.
Interact with services through a premium and consistent Guest App experience.
For hosts, Shortcuts are a powerful way to:
Highlight promotions, upsells, or external services with higher visibility.
Replace clunky banners with elegant, action-driven buttons.
Control when and to whom Shortcuts appear using reservation and timing conditions.
⚡ Key highlights:
Maximum of 4 Shortcuts per property.
Shortcuts can be dynamic (Posts, Upsells, Guest Info) or external (URLs).
Shortcuts support conditions (timing, guest filters, reservation data).
Guests see only relevant Shortcuts, ensuring a clean app interface.
