Send a message
Send email, SMS, or WhatsApp from Messages, a stay, a guest, a lead, or other contact surfaces when the channel is connected.
How to send
- Step 1In Zyelra
Open Messages, a stay, a guest, or a lead
Start from the inbox or a Stay / Guest / Lead page so the conversation stays attached to the right person. Stay and Guest detail pages offer Send message for agency email/SMS/WhatsApp. When a unique open agency conversation already exists for that guest, Stay/Guest also offer Open in Messages.
- Step 2In Zyelra
Choose the recipient
In Messages Send, focus the recipient field to see preloaded guests and other contacts, or type to search. From Stay Send, confirm Guest → Property → Stay context before composing.
- Step 3In Zyelra
Choose Send message
Pick the channel you need (email, SMS, or WhatsApp) among those connected for your agency.
- Step 4In Zyelra
Compose or use a template
Write the message or insert a template, then send.
- Step 5In Zyelra
Check delivery status
Confirm the message moved beyond queued/failed states as your provider reports delivery.
OTA guest replies use the Channex rail (Messages OTA filter or Booking Channels → Conversations) when the channel supports messaging. Agency Send message does not send to OTAs. If several agency conversations match a guest, Zyelra will not guess — use Send message or pick the thread in Messages.
Honest limits
- Unconnected channels cannot send
- Provider rules still apply (for example WhatsApp template requirements outside an open window)
- Development or logged-only modes may not deliver externally
