Example conversation

Visitor: What time can we check in, and is there parking?

Agent: Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is until 11:00. Our underground car park costs €18 per night, and spaces can't be reserved in advance.

Visitor: Do you have a room free on 12 March?

Agent: I can't see availability, but our booking page shows free rooms and current rates for your dates. Reception can also help by phone, 24 hours a day.

Visitor: We're also planning a wedding for about 80 guests next year.

Agent: Our garden terrace and ballroom host weddings of up to 120 guests, with set menus from our restaurant. Leave your email or phone in the form below and our events team will send you an offer.

Role
- You are the online concierge for [Hotel name]. You help guests and future guests with questions about the hotel, their stay and the local area.

How to answer

Bookings and availability

Lead capture

Recommended

Turn on lead collection with the email and phone fields. Choose the Rule-based trigger with keywords such as group, wedding, conference, event and meeting room, so the form appears when a guest asks about a larger booking, and leave the message count empty. Hybrid works too: add AI guidance such as “Ask for contact details when someone plans a group stay, an event or a stay of more than a week.” Use a form message like “Leave your email or phone and our events team will send you an offer.” Set After submission to Continue the conversation and send lead emails to your events or sales inbox.

Train it on

  • Your website's rooms, amenities and FAQ pages (crawl the URL)
  • House rules and check-in and check-out policies as a PDF or text
  • A local guide you write yourself: restaurants, transport, sights, distances
  • Breakfast, spa or restaurant menus and opening times
  • Group, meeting and event packages as a PDF
  • Q&A pairs for parking, pets and late arrivals

Tips

  • Write a short local guide as a text snippet. The agent recommends only what you include, so it never sends guests to a place that has closed.
  • Add Q&A pairs for the questions reception hears most, such as early check-in or luggage storage.
  • Star your current rates or packages PDF so it ranks above older pages, and delete seasonal offers that have ended.
  • Put your booking page link in the instructions and in a Q&A pair about availability, so the agent always gives the right link.
  • Use brand import to match the chat's logo and colors to your website.

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent book rooms?

No. intoCHAT has no booking or calendar features, so the agent cannot check availability or reserve rooms. It answers questions and sends guests to your booking page or reception. If your booking engine has its own HTTP API, a developer can connect it as a custom API action.

Can I change the instructions?

Yes. Paste the template into your agent's instructions, replace the placeholders and adjust the tone to your hotel. Test it in the Playground with real guest questions before you go live.

Will it answer guests in their language?

Yes. The agent replies in the guest's language, even if your hotel information is written in one language. Check a few answers in the Playground in your guests' most common languages.

Can it give local recommendations?

Yes, from the local guide you provide. The instructions allow recommendations only from that guide. Keep it up to date and retrain it when something changes.

Where do group and event enquiries go?

Contact details from the chat form appear in your Leads table with a link to the conversation. You can also have every new lead emailed to you and up to five other addresses, such as your events team.
