I am trying to format firstly, a check in email, in which I include in the body text, a confirmation of their check in date/time, check out date/time. How would I format this? I am trying to do this in "create booking email template" and

Secondly, how do I create a trigger for this email to go out 5 days prior to check in?

Thirdly, I have two documents that always go with this email, a "check in" email with some fun info about The Cottage and a "check out" email with the check out tasks on it. They are both in PDF format, but I do have them saved in Word. How would these get attached to each check in email? I also like to attach them to the booking email confirmation?
thx

I think I DID IT!!! Whew...sorry about so many questions, but it is a slow slog finding where the answers are. I understand that the search engines aren't geared up for this, at least not the one on the "ribbon." Just seems as though I have to search in several places before I find what I need to create my specific tasks. But I'm getting there. Yippee

Awesome!

Yep, on the logged in site on your booking area it only searches the bookings and stuff in your account.

To search support articles, forums, and blog posts, use the search box in the support area: https://www.ownerrez.com/support. Yes, we know we need to put that at the top of the screen here :-)

Sounds like you already found everything you need, but here's an article about doing pre-arrival emails: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/pre-arrival-email-templates-triggers-custom-fields in case you still had some questions.
