What Happens After Your Channel Manager Does Its Job
A channel manager syncs your rates and availability across Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and your direct booking engine. It ensures you never double-book a room.
But the guest messages that flow from those bookings remain fragmented across each OTA's native inbox: availability questions, special requests, check-in coordination, maintenance issues. No channel manager software unifies that conversation layer.
Multi-OTA distribution multiplies communication volume. An operator running 15 distribution channels receives proportionally more pre-booking inquiries. Without automation, increased OTA reach means increased manual inquiry labor — the team size required scales with the channel count, eroding efficiency gains.
OTA commission rates make direct booking conversion critical. Operators pay 15–25% commission on Booking.com and 3–5% on Airbnb for every booking. Conduit's in-stay conversation captures preferences and enables post-stay re-engagement for direct bookings, reducing commission spend over time.
From First Inquiry to Post-Stay Review: AI Agents That Work Across Every Channel
Pre-booking inquiries convert faster. Conduit's booking agent handles pre-booking inquiries across OTA message threads and direct channels. Availability questions, policy clarifications, and group inquiries get answered immediately with PMS-verified data.
Pre-arrival messages happen automatically. Check-in instructions, parking details, WiFi codes, and local recommendations go out proactively based on booking triggers. Proactive workflows reduce inbound questions and improve arrival experience.
In-stay requests get resolved in real time. Haven Vacation Rentals saw a 98% decrease in response time by unifying OTA communication into one fast agent.
Post-stay engagement builds direct relationships. After checkout, Conduit captures guest preferences and contact data for post-stay re-engagement via WhatsApp and SMS outside OTA channels.
Unified Inbox for Every OTA Channel
Conduit pulls guest message threads from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and Expedia into a single agent interface. Email, voice, chat, Slack, WhatsApp — every guest message lands in one workspace. Shared PMS context means agents have the full picture for every interaction.
Scale Without Hiring
HomeHop scaled from 40 to 108 properties while automating 70% of guest messaging, without adding a single support hire. Haven hit 95% automation and earned Airbnb Guest Favorite status across their portfolio. The Lauderdale Hotel unlocked $500K in asset value.
