Questions

How do I know I have a new message?

It shows as Unread in Dashboard → Messages, and you also get an email if you haven’t read it after about 15 minutes.

A guest wrote to me by email. Is that normal?

Yes. The “Message Vendor” form on your listing sends you an email called “Booking Inquiry for: …”. Just press Reply in your email.

Why are phone numbers hidden in messages?

To keep everyone safe, phone numbers, emails and links are hidden in chat messages.

Can I send a photo or a file?

Yes. Tap the paperclip under the message box to attach a file.
