All About Documents

RoomRaccoon allows you to set up documents and auto-send them when guests take action on their reservations such as booking confirmations, payments and cancellations. There are a number of documents which you can set up in your account settings.

Booking Confirmation

This is the email that can be sent to the guests with their reservation confirmation details to inform your guests that their reservation is confirmed including the information you find relevant for them to know.

Click here for more on the booking confirmation.

Cancellation confirmation

This is the email that guests receive to confirm their cancellation. This email will inform the guest that the cancellation has been processed and can be accompanied by any other relevant information you want them to know.

Booking confirmation for returning guests

This will send an email document with the reservation confirmation when the system recognises that this is a returning guest via their email. If this document is configured, the initial booking confirmation email will not be sent so that the guest can receive the personalised confirmation document.

Pre-Stay

This is the email sent to the guest before their arrival with all relevant booking details and in this document you can link the online check-in. The document can be configured to be sent a specific number of days before the guest arrives.

Post-Stay

This is the email sent to the guests a few days after their stay, providing follow-up communication with your guest after their stay at your property. Add a discount code here for your guests to encourage returning bookers directly on your booking engine.

Payment confirmation

This is the email that is automatically sent out to the guests who’ve made payments using the payment link of the payment request document to confirm that the payment was successfully processed.
