Email Intelligence
Standard+What it does
Email Threading (powered by Email Intelligence) automatically reads incoming emails to your motel, figures out what the guest wants — booking inquiry, support request, complaint, or general question — and routes each email to the right place with a suggested reply ready to go. Urgent messages are flagged immediately, spam is filtered out, and routine inquiries can be answered with one click.

Common questions
What if an email is categorized incorrectly?
You can manually change the category and priority. The system learns from corrections over time.
Are guest emails stored permanently?
Yes. Full conversation history is stored. Previous emails from returning guests are linked to their profile automatically.
Can I set up fully automatic email replies?
For routine inquiries, the AI auto-response feature can send immediate replies. For bookings, staff review the suggested reply first. Contact your platform administrator for full automation.
