To keep communication organized, Guesty merges messages from returning guests into a single conversation thread, even when messages belong to different reservations.
Understand merged messages
When a guest sends a message, Guesty checks if they already exist in your account by comparing their name, contact details, and reservation information. If Guesty finds a match, it identifies them as a returning guest and merges the new message into their existing conversation thread.
Returning guests display a "Returning" label under the
inbox widget.
