Why this helps
Guest messages for arrivals can get pushed aside while the team handles check-in work.
- Puts arrival-related email preparation on a recurring schedule.
- Lets staff review drafts before sending.
- Reduces the need to repeatedly look up reservation details.
Setup

- 1Connect Apaleo and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe that Notis should review upcoming reservations available from Apaleo and draft relevant guest arrival emails in Gmail.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming arrival and review the resulting draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send arrival instructions automatically?
No. It creates Gmail drafts for review. Include any specific arrival instructions in the automation prompt if they are available to Notis.
What happens if a reservation lacks an email address?
Gmail needs a recipient to create a useful draft. Review run reports and handle reservations without a guest address manually.
