What it is

SMS handling lets motel4 follow up phone calls with a text message containing the key information discussed. When a guest calls asking for directions, they get a text with the address and landmarks. When they ask for a lockbox code, it arrives by SMS for easy reference. No more "I forgot what they told me" callbacks.

How it works

01

Guest calls with a question

The AI answers their question verbally — directions, check-in details, lockbox codes, anything in your property context.

02

AI offers to text the info

"Would you like me to text you the directions?" Most callers say yes — especially for codes and addresses they'll need later.

03

Guest receives SMS with key details

A clean, formatted text message with exactly what they need: the address, the code, the parking instructions. Saved in their phone for when they arrive.

04

Fewer repeat calls

Instead of calling back 2 hours later asking "what was that code again?", they just check their texts. Fewer calls, better guest experience.

Automatic follow-up texts

After calls about directions, codes, or procedures, the AI offers to send a text summary.

Pre-arrival instructions

For late arrivals, send check-in procedures and access details as a text they can reference at the door.

Configurable templates

Control what information can be texted. Include or exclude lockbox codes, Wi-Fi passwords, or other sensitive details based on your preferences.

Delivery confirmation

See in your dashboard which texts were sent, delivered, and read.

Frequently asked questions

Does SMS cost extra?+
SMS is included in all motel4 plans at no additional cost. Standard messaging rates may apply to the recipient depending on their carrier.
Can I control what gets texted?+
Yes. You configure which information is eligible for SMS follow-up. If you don't want lockbox codes sent via text, disable that option. Directions and general check-in times are always safe defaults.
What if the caller doesn't want a text?+
The AI always asks before sending. If the caller declines or doesn't provide a mobile number, no text is sent. It's opt-in per call.
Can I send bulk texts to all arriving guests?+
motel4's SMS is designed for post-call follow-up, not marketing blasts. For proactive guest communication, you'd use a dedicated messaging platform alongside motel4.
