The Lodgix inquiry management system is in the process of being recoded into a Unified Inbox. The Unified Inbox will allow property managers to manage all guest communications from one centralized interface regardless of source. This includes pre-booking and post-booking communication. Communication from the channels, the guest app, your website, and email will all be included.

Phase 1 of this project introduces the Unified Inbox as an inquiry management tool only.

Unified Inbox Interface

The Unified Inbox consists of four columns or panes. They are explained in greater detail later in this documentation...

  1. Inbox Manager: Search messages and select which inbox to view.

  2. Inbox: Displays all conversation from the selected inbox. You can view open or closed conversations.

  3. Conversation Thread: Manage and respond to the selected conversation.

  4. Additional Info: Additional info about the guest, and inquiry details. You can also edit the quote or convert it to a booking.
