How can Chatref help reduce the number of guest check-in questions?
Chatref reduces guest check-in questions by using an AI agent that provides automated responses grounded in your property's check-in details. Custom actions collect guest information right in the chat, while the shared inbox keeps your team in the loop for complex requests. This approach cuts repetitive guest questions and significantly improves support efficiency.
Answer Common Check-In Questions Instantly
Chatref's AI agent learns from your property documentation - check-in instructions, parking details, Wi-Fi codes, and local tips. When a guest asks "What time can I check in?" or "Where do I park?", the agent replies with an accurate, on-brand answer drawn directly from those materials, not from a generic web search. This eliminates dozens of repetitive inquiries each day and lets guests self-serve 24/7.
Collect Guest Information Automatically
Beyond answering questions, custom actions let the chatbot gather key check-in details like arrival time, vehicle registration, or dietary requests inside the conversation. Instead of your team emailing back and forth, the agent asks for the needed info, validates it, and passes it along to your property management system or team inbox. This cuts the pre-arrival workload and makes the actual check-in moment smoother.
Keep the Human Touch When It Matters
Not every check-in scenario fits a template. When a guest has a unique request or a sensitive issue, Chatref's shared inbox alerts your team in real-time. A staff member can review the full chat history and take over the conversation instantly, stepping in with a personal reply. This ensures no guest feels abandoned while automation handles the routine, giving you the best of both worlds.
