Send Reminder Pre-Check-In Text to Guest (Cloud)
This feature is available only in Visual Matrix Cloud with the Guest Texting feature enabled.
Sending a reminder or pre-check-in text helps improve guest satisfaction by letting them confirm arrival details, reduce no-shows, and prepare ahead of time. With just a few clicks, you can send pre-arrival text communications automatically or manually.
Path: Front Office > Supervisor > Send Reminder
Only users with access to the Supervisor menu can send reminder or pre-check-in texts. If you don’t see this option, check your user role permissions or contact your property administrator.
Instructions
1. By default, the reminder date matches the Number of Days in advance configured in Guest Texting settings. You can change this date to any day of your choice if you want to send reminders earlier or later.
2. Click Send Reminder. The system will send the pre-check-in text to all guests with reservations that match the selected date.
3. After clicking Send Reminder, a green confirmation message will appear: “Guest arrival reminder sent successfully.” This indicates the pre-check-in text was delivered to all selected guests.
