Great news, Hostshare community! We've rolled out significant updates to our messaging system today, enhancing communication between hosts and guests with new features and improvements.
What’s New:
Advanced Notification System:
- Email and SMS Notifications: We've introduced email and SMS notifications for unread messages. If a message remains unread for 5 minutes, a notification will be sent out. Our system is designed to avoid spamming users, ensuring you receive just the right amount of alerts.
- Reply Communication on Notifications: Our email and text notifications for new bookings now include a prominent "reply" button, allowing you to jump straight into messaging with your host or guest.
User Interface Enhancements:
- Booking Details and Messages Tabs: For quicker and easier access, we've added dedicated tabs for booking details and messages on the booking pages.
- Unread Messages Badges: Stay informed at a glance with new badges for unread messages. These badges are visible on menus on both desktop and mobile, as well as on the conversation list and tabs.
Communication Enhancements:
- Streamlined Interaction: With these updates, communicating about bookings has never been easier. Manage your bookings and conversations all in one place, with immediate access to the information and connections you need.
This update is part of our commitment to continuously improving the Hostshare platform to make managing your rentals as seamless and efficient as possible. We believe these changes will significantly enhance how hosts and guests communicate and manage their interactions.
