You can update and personalise the email templates for guest and agent emails with your own wordings and policies. To do this, head to Setting > Emails. Click on the template name to edit. Preno generates two types of booking confirmation emails: Internal Confirmation Emails (these are hard coded templates which cannot be customised), which are sent to your property, and Guest-Facing Confirmation Emails, which can be customized to include payment information such as deposits or total amounts paid.

Email templates can be used together with automated emails so that you do not need to send these manually each time. Please see Automated emails for more information.

Email template editor

The editor allows you to style and add text your emails. Use data tags to automatically fill information captured from the booking. You can also use payment-related data tags to include details like deposits or total amounts paid in your templates. This ensures accuracy and provides guests with essential payment details.

Guest template considerations

There's a few things you might want to include on your template:

  • Your cancellation policy

  • Information about local landmarks

  • A little bit about yourself as the operator

  • Nearby restaurants or activities

  • Directions for reaching your property

  • Detailed breakdown of deposit or payment information to clarify booking financials

Agent template considerations

You might want to get in touch with your travel agents and see what kind of information they're looking for. Usually, we've found that these are the most popular:

  • Guest's full name

  • Booking ID

  • When the booking was made by the agent (or entered by you into Preno)

  • Arrival & departure dates for the guest

  • Nightly rates

  • Total charges

  • Number of nights that the guest is staying

  • Agent commission percentage and total (this is set up from the Agents and Sources page)

  • Net amount of the accommodation (particularly important for direct commission agents).
