protel Messenger
Beautiful and automated messaging for PMS
Sending smart and personalized HTML email and text messaging to guests and bookers, in the right language
Sending the right messages to the right people at the right time
Inspire guests. Optimize resources. Reduce costs. Grow profits
protel Messenger enables you to send fully automated and highly personalised HTML email and text messages via protel PMS not only within the hotel, but also from the hotel to the guest or booker.
Automated messaging
Configure protel Messenger to be triggered to send certain email or text messages only when the right criteria is met, and based on many conditions such as days to arrival, guarantee status, rate code, and much more.
Ad-hoc or manual messaging
Send email or text messages on-demand, as needed, to one or many guests or bookers. protel Messenger can utilize either pre-defined templates for common messages or enable user-defined ones for each occasion.
Personalization
Feel good messaging by not only addressing the guest or booker by name, but by speaking to them on a level which shows that the hotel knows and anticipates their accommodation needs.
A ‘welcome back’ message, a ‘happy birthday’ message or even advising that their room is ready automatically, speaks volumes to the guest and ensure a personalized touch.
Merge fields
protel PMS provides the protel Messenger service with a high-level of details around the guest and booker profile and the guest stay. Use these as merge fields to ensure that any message sent out has the right information needed.
Whether it be customer profile details or stay details such as room type, reservation status, arrival and departure dates, number of adults and children in the room, market or source code, and much more.
Look and feel is everything
protel Messenger enables full HTML designing and editing for any marketing department or agency, or a more simple WYSIWYG editor for the novices amongst us.
Ensure that outbound messages sent such as confirmation, pre-arrival, post-stay thank you or other, has your corporate branding, images, logos and layout, to ensure a professional and consistent look endorsing your brand standards.
We speak your language
By that we mean that protel Messenger is capable of sending the guest or agent the relevant message in their preferred or native language.
So if your guest speaks Russian, and your agent speaks German, fear not, protel Messenger is capable of sending out your communications using the preferred language template for that intended recipient. That’s smart.
