Managing stay emails

Stay emails allow users to send customized messages and notifications, using Message Templates, with a wide variety of configuration options. Stay emails may be applied to all properties, specific properties or property groups. They may be used to inform renters, owners, and third parties.

Each MyVR account comes with 5 default stay emails, all of which may be edited or removed. Users may opt to have stay emails sent manually or automatically. The default stay emails are:

  • Welcome Email
  • Post Arrival Check-In
  • Check Out Instructions
  • Post Departure Feedback Request
  • Review Request

All stay emails are managed under Automation > Stay Emails.

Step 5: Set the Recipients and click Create

  • Send to the renter, property owner or a third party (i.e. maintenance, cleaning crew, etc)
  • Optional: Enter additional recipient email address(s) to be copied on the email
  • "Attempt to Send Via Text Message" - an option to send a text message to either a renter, property owner, MyVR user, etc. Note: This will only send a text message and not an email and text message. To have both a text and email sent, create two separate stay emails.

    "Send to the Renter" option: If a phone number does not exist on the reservation, the guest will be sent an email instead of a text message.
