Ads & Deals

Using this method of message delivery a hotel can track deals or advertisements sent to guests.

This HowTo will demonstrate how to send a deal for the spa for a limited time. The message will be sent to all recipients and once the time expires the message will be automatically deleted from the guests mailbox.
